Create a Profile

Define a reusable set of attribute values for a Profile-enabled node type.

Prerequisites

• A schema node with generate_profile: true (the default for nodes that support Profiles)
• Permission to create objects on the target branch

Create the Profile

Replace <Kind> with your node kind (e.g. InfraInterface), <profile-name> with a unique name (3-32 characters), and <attribute> / <value> with the values you want the Profile to set.

Web interface

1. Navigate to Object Management → Profiles
2. Click Add Profile
3. Select your node kind as the Profile type
4. Fill in:
   • Profile Name: a unique name (3-32 characters)
   • Profile Priority: a numeric value (default 1000; lower = higher priority)
   • Any attribute values this Profile should define
5. Click Save

GraphQL

mutation {
  Profile<Kind>Create(
    data: {
      profile_name: { value: "<profile-name>" }
      profile_priority: { value: 1000 }
      <attribute>: { value: <value> }
    }
  ) {
    ok
    object { id }
  }
}

The profile_priority value defaults to 1000. Lower numbers have higher priority — see Priority and inheritance.

Verify

Web interface

1. Navigate to Object Management → Profiles
2. Locate the Profile by name and click it to confirm all attribute values are set

GraphQL

Query the Profile by name to confirm it exists and the values were set:

query {
  Profile<Kind>(profile_name__value: "<profile-name>") {
    edges {
      node {
        profile_name { value }
        <attribute> { value }
      }
    }
  }
}

Next

• Assign a Profile to an object
• Use multiple Profiles to combine this Profile with others using priority
