Templates / profiles save/load

Save a configured edit/anonymization setup as a reusable profile and reload it later.

Problem

You need to save a custom anonymization configuration (specific tags to keep/remove/redact) as a reusable profile, then load it later or share it with colleagues. This ensures consistent de-identification across all exports from your institution.

Steps

1. Open a DICOM file — click Open files… (⌘O).
2. Switch to Anonymization mode — click the Anon tab (⌘2).
3. Select Custom profile — click the Custom button in the profile picker.
4. Add custom rules — for each tag you want to override: enter the tag ID (e.g. 0008,103e for Series Description), select the action (Remove or Keep), click Add. The rule appears in the list below.
5. Save the profile — click Save Profile. The system downloads a custom_anonymization_profile.json file containing all rules as a JSON array.
6. Load a profile — click Load Profile and select a previously saved .json file. All rules are restored, replacing any current rules.
7. Verify round-trip — save a profile with 2 rules. Remove one rule. Load the saved profile. Both original rules are restored.
8. Apply the profile — click Apply & Export to process the file using the loaded rules.

Result

A custom profile saves as a JSON array of {id, act} rules, reloads exactly as saved, and lets you remove individual rules first. Applied, those rules override the base profile for the tags they name.
