Profile schemes

The profile schemes feature is used to automatically import dialog configuration profiles. When this feature is enabled, the values stored in the dialog configuration profile override certain values stored in the main BlueZone configuration file that was used to start the session.

By definition, dialog configuration profiles are subsets of the main BlueZone configuration file. There are up to eight types of dialog configuration profiles that can be used in any combination along with the main BlueZone configuration file.

Note: This feature is used primarily by BlueZone administrators that use a push technology, like Microsoft's SMS, to install and update BlueZone files on their user's machines.

This feature can be also be useful to end users.

If you require many BlueZone configuration files and you make many modifications to those configuration files, you can use the profile schemes feature to share dialog configuration profiles that are common to all BlueZone configurations.

For example, if you regularly use ten different BlueZone configuration files and the BlueZone keyboard map configuration is the same for all ten configuration files, you can make your specific keyboard map changes to all ten configuration files. You can then make the keyboard map changes once and export the keyboard map to a dialog configuration profile. Then you open the Profile Schemes tab, select the Keyboard check box, and browse to the keyboard map file you just created.

You now have a keyboard map profile that can be shared among all ten BlueZone configuration files. You also have the added benefit of only having to make any future keyboard map changes once. You do not have to update all ten configurations.
