Managing profile properties

You create, edit and delete profile properties in the Profile Properties Manager. The layout of the cards controls the display of visitor profiles in Global>Audience>Profiles.

Cards

Properties are grouped by card. You edit name, move, and delete cards.

• To edit a card name, click the edit button beside a card and provide a new name.
• To move a card, select the double dash on the left and drag-and-drop it above or below other cards.
   

  

• To delete the card, you first need to ensure that no property is left in it.
