|
Active |
Indicates that the profile is active and available to use.Note: If you attempt to deactivate a tracking profile that is in use, a warning message appears to confirm your actions. |

|
Collection time zone |
Defines when a day starts for data collection based on the time zone you select. A day starts at 12:00 AM and ends at 11:59:59 PM by default.For example, if you select System (America/Los_Angeles), that means a day starts at 12:00 AM PST. |
|

|
Restricted Countries |
The countries of the users you do not want to track. Note: Restricted countries are based on the user profile (sys_user) and not the country the user is in at the time. Click Insert a new row... and select a country. If a country you want restricted does not appear, add it to the list by navigating to Organization > Locations. |
Result
The new tracking profile appears in the Tracking profiles list and the system creates a scheduled job to collect data. You can modify or manually execute the script associated with the scheduled job by doing these steps:
-
Click the link in the Trigger column.
Note: If the Trigger column doesn't appear in the Tracking profiles list, click the Update Personalized List icon and add the Trigger column to the selected list.
The Profile trigger form opens, where you can modify the import run time (how often the script runs) or set a condition.
