ProfileType

ProfileType is an individual element or module that make up the profile. Each profile type is uniquely identified and characterised by various fields that determine its behaviour and appearance.

ProfileType Database Table Structure

ProfileType represents the overarching category or classification of a profile. It defines the primary characteristics and settings that apply to the profile as a whole. Understanding the structure and purpose of each field helps in efficiently configuring and managing profile types in the application.

The PostgreSQL table ProfileType consists of the following fields:

id (Integer):

The unique identifier for the profile type. It is used as the primary key to uniquely identify each profile type within the table.

Example: 1, 2, 3, etc.
type (String):

The name or designation of the profile type. It serves as a label to easily identify the profile type. It is often used as the abbreviation or short form of the profile type.

Example: genomics, dtol, dtolenv, asg, erga, test, etc.
description (String):
A detailed description of the profile type. It provides a comprehensive understanding of what the profile type represents and its scope.

Example:
Genomics: A profile that operates independently.

Darwin Tree of Life (DTOL): A profile related to the DToL project.

Darwin Tree of Life Environmental Samples (DTOLENV): A profile for environmental samples within the DTOLENV project.

Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics (ASG): A profile related to the ASG project.

European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA): A profile related to the ERGA project.

Test New Profile: A profile for testing purposes.
widget_colour (String):
The colour associated with the profile type, used for UI elements. It enhances the visual distinction and user interface by providing a specific colour for each profile type.

Example:
#009c95 (cyan)

#16ab39 (green)

#fb7d0d (orange)

#5829bb (purple)

#E61A8D (magenta)

violet
is_dtol_profile (Boolean):
Indicates whether the profile type is related to the DToL project. It helps in categorising and filtering profiles that are part of the DToL project.

Example:
t (true): The profile is part of the DToL project.

f (false): The profile is not part of the DToL project.
is_permission_required (Boolean):
Indicates whether permissions are required to access this profile type. It ensures that sensitive or restricted profiles are only accessible by authorised users.

Example:
t (true): Permissions are required to access the profile

f (false): No special permissions are required to access the profile
