Setting up user profiles

You specify the computer users for whom to capture information, and the files and settings to capture for each user, by setting up the appropriate user profile. You can create as many different user profiles as you need. To capture data for a particular user, or group of users, you assign the appropriate user profile to a Move the User: Create task.

The components of a user profile are described in Table 6-4.
