Save Configuration

When you make settings for a certain working environment, you may need to save your settings to a profile so that you can easily switch to the settings without repeating the configurations. For example, you can set profiles for work, home and

other situations. When you travel from home to work, choose the "office" profile that contains all your settings for office use. When you travel back home, choose the “home” profile.
