Creating a data profile
The report profiles defined in TestArchitect Client can be used as data profiles for Dashboard panels, and vice versa.

On the General Settings page, enter the basic information specifying the name of the data profile, and its data source(s), then click Next:

- Item Type: Select a project item from which to create the data profile. This item type determines which fields are selectable on the Statistic Field page (step #8).
- Related Data: Optionally select a sub-field related to the project item. If you select an entity for this field, you will be asked to specify additional sub-fields from steps #9 through #12.
