Custom Call Profiles

Custom Profiles are largely superseded by the enhanced functionality of the Designer in vFire Core.

Custom Call Profiles are types of call extensions, that is, additional fields used by analysts to record non-standard information on the Call Details window. The Profile 1, 2, 3, and 4 fields appear as drop-down lists on Call Details windows configured in the Designer. To appear on configured call details windows, these fields should have been added to the window (usually under a different name) when editing the screen in the Designer.
