3. Profiles view
In profiles view, you can add, modify, delete and activate saved profiles. A profile is used for storing
various pre-defined responses corresponding to different groups to meet your different demands in many
situations. You can imagine it as the tools “Profile” on Nokia’s smartphone, that is used for defining
ringing and messaging tones. But profiles view in PhonePilot is used for defining various responses for
callers.
PhonePilot is shipped with a build-in, not erasable and not editable profile “Accept all”, and seven
pre-defined, erasable and editable profiles. You can browse them in current view.

You can divide incoming callers up to seven groups by phonebook or custom lists (Or choose not to

and its corresponding response is called a “rule”. For example, the area (a) on Pic. 3-2 is a rule.
