Profile Configuration
=====================

Profiles are the primary configuration unit. Each profile defines a set of global search conditions and one or
more views. Access can be restricted to specific M-Files user groups. Users who belong to at least one group of
any configured profile gain access to that profile's views in the M-Files Desktop client and the web client.

When no user groups are defined on a profile all authenticated vault users see it.

Delay Search Conditions
-----------------------

A delay search condition defines a time-based threshold on a date or timestamp property.
When at least one item in the search result satisfies the condition an alert is triggered on the view.

Both profiles and views support delay search conditions. Conditions defined at the profile level are evaluated
against the profile global search result. Conditions at the view level are evaluated against that view's specific
result set. See :ref:`View Configuration` for view-level delay conditions.

.. tip::

    Use operator ``>`` with value ``5`` and time unit ``Days`` on a *Last Modified* property to alert
    when items have not been updated in more than five days.
