Managing Application Profiles in Align
Application profiles enable admins to create groups of users that all share a similar set of application configurations. Align operational users can import application profiles and assign them to functional profiles as part of managing roster members, then push those assignments back to the corresponding user__sys record.

Place the following fields on the appropriate layouts:
- crm_application_profile_override__v
- crm_imported_application_profile__v
- Ensure the crm_application_profile_override__v field has an active outbound field mapping in the integration with Vault CRM.
Importing Vault CRM Application Profiles
When the next import occurs, active application_profile__v records import as crm_application_profile__v records with the following properties:
- name__v = The value of the name__v field from the corresponding application_profile__v record
- status__v = active__v
- vault_crm_record_id__v = The value of the id field from the corresponding application_profile__v record
Assigning Application Profiles to Functional Profiles as

Once application_profile__v records are imported as crm_application_profile__v records, Align operational users can assign a application profile to multiple users at once using functional profiles:
- Edit the appropriate aln_functional_profile__v record.
- Use the CRM Application Profile field to search for and select the appropriate crm_application_profile__v record.
- Select Save.
If a application profile associated with one or more functional profiles is deleted, the corresponding crm_application_profile__v record is not deleted during the next import. Instead, an error displays in the import log informing admins that the crm_application_profile__v record must first be disassociated from all functional profiles.
Manually Overriding a Roster Member's Application Profile
By default, individual roster members' associated application profile is inherited from their associated functional profile. However, admins can override this functionality with a specific application profile per aln_roster_member__v record.
Roster members must be designated as Align-mastered in order to manually override their application profile.
To override a roster member's application profile:
- Edit the appropriate aln_roster_member__v record.
- Use the crm_application_profile_override__v field to search for and select the appropriate application profile.
- Select Save.
