USER PROFILES:

A user profile is a collection of changeable options that affect the way your applications run.  Oracle Applications establishes a value for each option in a user's profile when the user logs on or changes responsibility.   Oracle Applications provides these options so that you can alter the behavior of your applications to suit your own preferences.

Oracle Applications uses a set of user profile options that are common to all the application products.  In addition, each application product has its own unique set of user profile options.  The reference guide for your application contains a complete list and a description of each user profile option that is specific to your application.

User profile options can be set at one or more of four levels:  Site, Application, Responsibility, and User.  Your system administrator can set default option values at any of these levels.

You can view and set profile options at the site, application, responsibility, and user levels.  Your settings affect users as soon as they sign on or change responsibility.  See: Overview of Setting User Profiles.

Profile Values Block

Set values for profile options at one or more levels.  Each value overrides those set to its left.  For example, a User Value setting overrides a Responsibility Value setting, which overrides an Application Value setting, which overrides a Site Value setting.

This field displays the current value, if set, for all users working under responsibilities owned by the application identified in the Find Profile Values block.

This field displays the current value, if set, for all users working under the responsibility identified in the Find Profile Values block.

Note: You should set site-level default values for any required options after installation of an application.  If you do not assign a particular profile option at any of the four levels, that option does not have a default value and may cause errors when you use forms, run reports, or run concurrent requests.
