# ExplicitProfiling

Set `ExplicitProfiling` to `True` and specify a user name as the value of the Username parameter to use the explicit profile or the user to restrict the rules that QMS uses when processing the query.

The explicit profile for a user is a set of fields in the Community component profile with the prefix `AUTN_EXPLICIT_PROFILE_`. You must manually create and modify these fields in your Community component, to contain the details that you want to use in QMS profiling.

When you set `ExplicitProfiling` to `True`, QMS finds the explicit profile fields and values for the specified user . It strips the `AUTN_EXPLICIT_PROFILE_` prefix from the field name, and sends these fields and their values in a query to the Promotion Agentstore. In your QMS rules, you can use the `QMSFIELDTEXT` field to filter rules according to values in these explicit profile fields.

For more information about explicit profiling, refer to the QMS Administration Guide.
