[WDSCI-L] Profiles, Filter Pools, and Library Lists

["Kelly Cookson" <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just wanted to share my experience using profiles to manage library lists.

I created three WDSCi profiles. Each profile set up a different library list 
when its connections were opened. However, I had to jump around between 
profiles too much during the day, which meant either (1) constantly activating 
and logging in to the profile connections when needed, or (2) leaving all 
profiles active, which cluttered my RSE view with multiple connections. 

I definitely see how profiles might be useful in other kinds of situations. I 
like the profiles feature. I just didn't find profiles convenient for this 
particular use. 

So I'm back to one profile. I am now managing library lists in the following 
way: (1) create User Actions for frequently used library list set-ups, and (2) 
add a library list filter to each filter pool when the filter pool is created.  
The latter puts the library list filter in a handy location.

Thanks,
Kelly
