you create, the SMS tracks information about the profile when you distribute the profile
to a device.

New Schedule for the profile.
Profile distribution details
The profile distribution details area displays information on the distribution of
the selected profile to your devices. Profile distribution details include the following:
- Distribution Target - Segment or segment group that received the profile distribution.
- Distributed - Date and time of the last profile distribution.
- Version - Version of the profile that was distributed.
- Changed - Yes indicates there is a changed version of the profile that has not been distributed.
Versions
For every inspection profile you create, the
Versions tab provides information about all versions of the selected profile, including whether
the profile is active, its version number, when it was last distributed to your devices,
and any comments.
As you modify or make changes to a profile, the version for that profile displays
as a point release. For example, three changes to a profile moves the version from
1.0 to 1.3. When you distribute or create a snapshot of this profile, the version
is committed and is displayed on the screen as 1.3. Subsequent changes to that profile
move the version number up a major level to 2.0. Any changes made prior to the next
distribution of the profile are indicated as a minor or point release number. Changes
made after the distribution of a profile begin with a major number allowing you to
keep track of distributed profile versions.
