Set Up a Checking Profile

  • Updated

Warning

Acrolinx has started to phase out support for this. But don’t worry! We've replaced it with Targets. If you have Targets enabled, you already have an easier way to manage your guidance. You might also want to visit our Sunset Policy.

Make Sure You Have the Profile Administrator Role

Not everyone in your organization has the privileges to access Checking Profiles. If you plan to administer the check settings for your users, you or your Acrolinx administrator should ensure that your user account has the role "profile administrator". This role includes the privileges for editing Checking Profiles as well as integration segmentation and filter settings.

When you have this role, you can access the Checking Profiles section of the Dashboard. Additionally, users with this role can start an Acrolinx Integration and save changes to the check settings. The server updates the corresponding Checking Profile or extraction settings with the latest changes.

Enable Checking Profiles

When you install Acrolinx, Checking Profiles are enabled by default. If they happen to be disabled, you can enable them in the core server properties file.

To enable Checking Profiles, follow these steps:

  1. Open the coreserver.properties

    Tip

    If you're on an Acrolinx Private Cloud 35469215 instance and are interested in these configurations, contact us and we'll set them for you!

    If you're a Standard Stack user, you can edit the coreserver.properties from the configuration directory. Depending on your installation, your path might look like this:

    <config directory>/server/bin/coreserver.properties.

  2. If the following property is missing, add it:

    checkingProfiles.enabled=true

  3. Save your changes and restart the Acrolinx Platform.

  4. Sign in to the Dashboard, open the Guidance Settings menu, and check that you can see the Checking Profiles section.

Create Checking Profiles

You create a Checking Profile to define the writing guide, term sets, check settings, and extraction settings for a specific user group.

To create a Checking Profile, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Guidance Settings > Checking Profiles and click New.

  2. Enter a name in the Profile Name field.

  3. (Optional) Select whether the profile should be locked.

  4. Update the Guidance Settings.

  5. Update the Check Settings.

    These settings are the same check settings that users see on the Check tab.
