Tech Tip: Process Profiles in Quick Fields 8

April 13th, 2010 Comment on this article

If you find that you frequently need to apply the same processes together during revision, you can create public or personal process profiles in Quick Fields 8 to apply groups of processes with a single click.

By default, only Quick Fields administrators can apply or manage process profiles. If you want scanner operators to be able to work with them, you can change the permissions for the session by going to Tools, Options, Current Session, Permissions, and selecting the actions you want operators to be able to perform.

To create process profiles:

  1. Open the Profiles Pane: from the View menu, select Panes and Profiles. Or look for the Profiles tab.
  2. Decide whether to create a public process profile (accessible to any Windows user working with that session) or a personal process profile (only accessible to a particular Windows user). Select the appropriate node.
  3. Right-click and select Add Profile. A new profile will appear.
  4. The best practice is to give the profile a name that conveys its function. To rename the profile, right-click and select Rename. Type a new name for the profile.
  5. Select the name of the profile and then select the processes or image enhancements you want from the Tasks Pane.
  6. Configure the processes or image enhancements.
  7. Optional: Test the processes or enhancements on the default sample image.

To import or export process profiles:

By default, process profiles will not be imported or exported with the session. As of Quick Fields 8.0.1, you can go to Tools, Options, Import/Export, and choose whether to include process profiles when either importing or exporting a session.
