The initial color and appearance of list windows is set by default.
Creating a profile enables you to view list windows in colors and styles that you select. For example, you might prefer to use a light-pink highlight band—to indicate that an item is selected—and a list constructed with grid lines. A fellow employee might prefer to use a blue highlighting border and no grid lines. If your office does not require you to use a system profile, you can each set up an individual profile and view the list windows in the way you prefer when you are logged in to the software.
The office administrator can create a system profile that can function as the default for the office; employees have the option of using the system profile or creating an individual profile.
If the office administrator prefers that list windows have the same look and feel on all workstations, he or she can apply the system profile to all users, overriding any user preferences.
