In a LEGION model, Data Profiles describe the rate, manner and time at which various simulated activities take place. Entities appear as specified in Arrival Profiles; progress at speeds defined by a Speed Profile; are delayed at facilities according to Delay Profiles; respond to scheduled events in line with Event Profiles; and may leave the model through a constrained exit at a rate dictated by an Exit Profile. Objects within a model may also be turned on or off by Availability Profiles.

You can define and import these profiles using the LEGION Data Template spreadsheet or you can specify them at any point within the model building process. Data Profiles are discussed in detail in Demand - Data and Profiles. They are also central to defining Scenarios, which are covered in the same section.
