This guide explains how to create and manage configuration profiles in Databricks Tellr.
Profiles bundle together:
- Genie Room - Your data source for queries
- Slide Style - CSS styling for generated slides
- Deck Prompt - Template that guides slide structure
Creating profiles for different use cases (e.g., "Quarterly Reviews", "Customer Presentations") allows you to quickly switch contexts.
- Access to Databricks Tellr
- Knowledge of available Genie rooms in your workspace
- (Optional) Custom slide styles or deck prompts
Click "Profiles" in the navigation bar to open the profile management page. The page displays all available profiles with their descriptions and settings.
Click the "+ Create Profile" button to start the creation wizard.
In Step 1 of the wizard, enter:
- Name - A unique, descriptive name (required)
- Description - What this profile is used for (optional)
Fill in both fields with clear, descriptive text.
Genie Space is optional. Skip to create a prompt-only profile, or connect a Genie room for data queries.
Choose a slide style that matches your presentation needs. This is required to proceed.
Select a style to define the visual appearance of your slides.
Optionally select a deck prompt template to guide slide structure.
Review your settings and click "Create Profile" to finish.
Click on any profile card to view its details.
The detail view shows all profile settings.
