When a Time Profile is used for point alarm limits, modifying the Profile may invalidate the configuration of the point(s) that use the Profile. The configuration will become invalid if the changes result in a limit crossing other limit(s) on the same point. For more information, see Specify any Alarm Limit Profiles in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration.

- Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
- Double-click on the Time Profile in the Database Bar (if you are logged on as a user that has the Double Click Edits Documents feature enabled).
The Time Profile is displayed in Design mode.
or:
- Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
- Right-click on the Time Profile in the Database Bar.
A context sensitive menu is displayed. - Select the Edit <Time Profile Type> option.

To plot a Time Profile’s change in value, you can:
