    2. Right-click the data object and select Profile.
    The New wizard appears.
    3. Select Profile.
    4. Click Next.
    The Developer tool displays another pane where you can configure the general properties of the profile.
    5. Change the profile name and description, if required. You can also add or remove data objects.
    6. Click Next.
    7. Select the columns you want to run data domain discovery on and the data domains you want to match the columns with.
    8. Change the default inference options, as required.
    9. Click Finish to create the profile.
