Oracle Tap: Profile Options Explained

An Introduction to Oracle Tap Profile Options

Profile Options: Explained

Profile options manage configuration data centrally and influence the behavior of
applications. Profile options serve as permanent user preferences and application
configuration parameters.
You configure profile options with settings for specific contexts or groups of users. Users
customize how their user interfaces look and behave by changing the values of available
profile options.
Profile options store the following kinds of information.
Type of Information
User preferences
Installation information
Configuration choices
Processing options

Profile Option Example

Settings to provide access to social
networking features
Setting to identify the location of a
portal
Settings to change user interface skins and behaviors
Settings to affect how much
information to log either for an entire
site or a specific user

You can add and configure new profile options in addition to configuring predefined
profile options that are implemented as updateable.
All of the profile options for Oracle Tap are related to processing options as described
above.
