The Profile Information page includes the following options:

Profile Information Page
Option	Description
Name	Enter a name for this Citrix profile. The name you enter here determines the file name of the generated Citrix profile. Note:Do not include the version number in the package name.
Description	Briefly describe this package. This information is stored with the package as metadata.
Version	Enter the version number of this Citrix profile. This information is stored as package metadata.
Enable User Updates (Allow profiled application to update itself—Not recommended)	To allow the profiled application to download and install vendor-supplied updates over the Internet, select this check box. The updates are stored within the user profile root location for the specific user. To ensure that all executable files from the profile are launched from the installation root location, and not from the user profile location, clear this check box. When this check box is cleared, the system prevents code from being run if it is not streamed from the server. Clearing this check box enables you to control updates through the profiler. This check box is cleared by default.

For testing purposes, you can also choose to include diagnostic tools in your Citrix profile by selecting the Diagnostic Tools link in the More Options list. For more information, see Diagnostic Tools Dialog Box.
