#### **1. When to Use Multiple Client Profiles**

If you manage more than one entity (for example, a New Zealand entity and an Australian entity), you’ll need to switch profiles to:

- Separate transactions and journal entries by legal entity.
- Ensure forecasts and exposures are recorded in the correct profile.
- Apply entity-specific settings, market configurations, and dashboards.

---

#### **2. How to Switch Between Entities**

1. **Check Your Current Profile**
   
     - The entity name is shown at the top of your CNS dashboard (e.g., *Mentos Ltd*).
2. **Open the Client Profile Menu**
   
     - In the left-hand navigation, select **Client Profile**.
3. **Select a New Entity**
   
     - A list of available entities will be displayed (e.g., *Mentos Ltd*, *Mentos Exports*, *Mentos Bros*).
     - Click on the entity you want to switch to.
4. **Save Your Selection**
   
     - Click **Save** to confirm.
     - Your dashboard, settings, and data will now reflect the selected entity.

---

#### **3. Example: Different Entity Profiles**

- **Mentos Exports Ltd** – Exporter profile, selling NZD and buying foreign currencies.
- **Mentos Ltd** – Importer profile, buying NZD and selling foreign currencies.  
  These are completely separate configurations and must be managed independently.

---

#### **4. Default Profile**

- When you log in, CNS will default to your main client profile.
- If you need to work in another entity, switch profiles before running reports, entering trades, or updating forecasts.
