You use the personalization profile to specify user-specific views of the planning framework (in other words, whether to include planning levels, planning packages, planning methods, and parameter groups in the views for different users). By selecting the respective checkboxes in the tree structures, you include the corresponding planning elements in the profile. You can then assign users to the profile by including their user-id in the list. You can assign the same user to several personalization profiles.
Users assigned to a personalization profile can then make changes to the profile settings in the application. Their profile settings then remain intact during that work session. Alternatively, you can use the user parameters to set a personalization profile permanently.
