Profiles are used to manage the presentation of attributes in the user interface. They determine how the attributes are grouped when an instance of the asset type is displayed. When you display an asset in CentraSite Business UI, for example, the attributes associated with a particular profile are grouped together as a selectable tab.

CentraSite includes the following predefined profiles:

An asset type can contain any number of profiles. Each of these profiles functions as a container for a set of attributes.
