Create a Build Profile
Fabric administrators can organize commonly used custom properties into build profiles so that tenant
administrators and business group managers can include these custom property sets in blueprints.
Build profiles are available to tenant administrators and business group managers of all tenants. You can
create your build profile by adding custom properties individually, by loading property sets that contain
multiple custom properties, or by using a combination of the two methods.
