Profile Manager
Progress Dynamics keeps track of a number of individual user preferences and settings in the Repository as part of a profile for each user. These include:

- Browser filter settings. Each time a user brings up a Progress Dynamics Filter window by selecting the Filter button on a toolbar, it provides the option of saving the filter settings, either for the session or permanently in the Repository, so that the browse comes up with the same filter applied the next time it is opened by the same user, as shown:

The Profile Manager caches profile information on the client and returns changes to it to the server, normally at the end of the session.
