Profile Overview

This tab sheet shows an overview of all stored profiles and allows you to manage your profiles.

Here's the meaning of the symbols in the toolbar:

- Add New Profile, Edit, Rename, Delete
- Run Selected Profile(s), Run Checked Profile(s), Stop, Restore Wizard
- Tools and Settings

When editing a profile from the Profile Overview, you will automatically edit in in Advanced Mode and see all available options.

There are two ways to select profiles.

- Click on the rows in the table to select them with a light blue bar. You can select multiple profiles by dragging or ctrl- and shift-clicking. Selected profiles can be run with the single Play button.
- Click on the checkmarks to choose a combination of profiles which is remembered even after you exit the program. These profiles can be run with the double Play button (or fast forward, symbolizing "Start Many").

Also make sure you try the context menu which you get by right-clicking on profiles. You have three choices of how to start a profile:

Run In Attended Mode

In attended mode, the profile will run in the foreground and you will see all the progress information related to building the file list. You will then see the Synchronization Preview and you can check the copying actions that the program wants to make. You can make changes in the Preview and then continue with the execution or cancel the profile.

Run In Unattended Mode

In unattended mode, the profile will also run in the foreground but it will not wait for any user input or offer you to examine the Sync Preview. It will start copying right away, but you can cancel it at any time.

Run In Background

When run in the background, the profile will be executed by a separate process which will show in Task Manager as ExtremeSyncService.exe. You will not see a lot of details, but some progress information is shown in the Profile Overview. You can stop the profile with the Stop button in the toolbar.

Running profiles in the background is the only way to run several profile simultaneously. The scheduler can also run profiles in the background and simultaneously, see the option "Start Profiles In Parallel" in the Tools and Settings menu on the Scheduler tab sheet.
