Reuse of Profiles
By combining and reusing modularized profiles for each work process or product series, you can quickly and easily define the profiles required for each project.
In addition to using modularized profiles as is, you can customize profiles to suit the projects at the site. For example, you can absorb differences between projects by matching the design item names to the names used at the site and selecting and discarding the information to be designed.
Even when the profile you are using is updated to a new version by the organization, you can easily reflect it in the projects at the site.
Even if you customize the profile to suit the site, you can keep track of the profile updates while maintaining the customized content.
