Connection Profiles allow common usage of remote connections in other areas.\\
----
!!Setup
Create a User Connection Group specifically named *exactly* "ConnectionProfiles" , on Preferences->IP/servers page.\\
\\
[attachments|Connection_profile.png]\\
Go to user Manager, select the "ConnectionProfiles" group, create a new user, and add to it a remote VFS named *exactly* "server" \\
\\
[attachments|Connection_profile_server.png]\\
\\
Configure this VFS item to point to a remote location:\\

----
!!Usage
Then use in Job tasks with the syntax {connect_start}profilename{connect_end}.  This will bring in the URL for the connection profile where that is configured.\\

!!Special Usage (rarely used functionality):
In a UserVariable task item, you can use the name of that task item to have the connection profile.  Example: {connect_start}conn2{connect_end}\\
Now the UserVariable task can reference any aspect of this connection.\\
{{{
{connect_url}
{connect_x_myvariable} - where myvariable is an Extra Text item you added at the bottom of the User Manager for this profile.
{connect_other} - where other is any other property from the loaded XML item.
}}}\\
