Event profiles


Event profiles are subsets of User Roles. They are used to determine which information should be sent to the user assigned a specific profile.


QL on-premise comes with a default set of event profiles for various types of users.  

You can use these as-is. You can also modify them to suit your needs or create entirely new roles.


QL cloud also comes with a default set of event profiles for various types of users. These can't be edited, but you can create enritely new roles.


NOTE: Alerts refers to potential errors or issues that users should be aware of, such as when there is no content scheduled or other similar situation.


The Event Profile page is the third page you access by clicking the right arrow:

Best Practices


Always select a user profile or role that best matches the person's responsibilities as this will ensure the user will only receive the information and notices that pertain to them. For example, the Technical Events profile best matches the needs of the IT professional, the same way the Content Related Events profile tracks events that are meaningful to a content administrator. The Management Events profile should be assigned to managers who must review their user's content before it's displayed on screen.
