Editing a custom application profile

Edit online

You can make changes to the application profile information. You can add, delete, or modify attributes in the profile, or change the constraints.

Before you begin

You must have administrative permission to complete this task. You must have an application profile that is in either draft or published state.

About this task

If an application profile that is selected for edit is in draft mode, the edits can be directly made to the profile. If selected application profile is in published state, you must select Edit as draft to edit the profile. You can edit the draft copy while users can continue to work with the published version.
Note: Editing an already published profile as draft does not affect any of the applications that are associated with the published version of the profile. Only after the edited profile is published, the associated applications can consume the updates to the application profiles. Changes typically include a name change of the profile itself, or changes to the application profile attributes that are attached to the profile.
