Or, in another example, you might have to follow industry-specific regulations that vary considerably from state-to-state dictating what kinds of IDs you can accept.  VeriScan uses **Local Settings Profiles** to synchronize settings across multiple devices.  There's a [default profile](https://support.idscan.net/how-can-i-comply-with-multiple-jurisdictional-regulations#default-local-settings) that will apply to all your locations and devices, and you can also create [additional profiles](https://support.idscan.net/how-can-i-comply-with-multiple-jurisdictional-regulations#create-2nd-profile) if you need certain locations and devices to follow different settings.  ### Default Local Settings Profile In the [VeriScan Cloud](https://veriscancloud.com/Settings) portal, admins can navigate to **Settings \> Local Settings** and review each tab, changing the settings to ensure your scanning complies with the first state's regulations. This is the **Default** profile for local settings and will apply automatically to all **Locations** and **Devices** in your account.  ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-24-26-9211-PM.png?width=1325&height=470&name=image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-24-26-9211-PM.png) ### Create a 2nd Local Settings Profile Now, if you need to choose different Local Settings to apply only to specific **Locations** and **Devices** in your account, you can click the **Create New** button.  ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-27-29-9202-PM.png?width=1325&height=633&name=image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-27-29-9202-PM.png) You can choose to copy settings from your Default (or any other) setting profile, or just start fresh from the initial **Local Settings** given to every VeriScan account. Click **Create** button to switch to this profile. Once created, you'll see the name of the settings profile in the dropdown menu at the top of the section. Changes made to every tab in **Local Settings** will apply to the profile selected.  ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-32-46-1162-PM.png?width=1334&height=524&name=image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-32-46-1162-PM.png) ### Assign a Settings Profile to Your Locations Now that you've created two different **Local Settings** profiles, you can choose which **Locations** will use which profile. Admins can navigate to **Locations** and click the edit button on the location they wish to update. Then choose the correct **Settings Profile** from those you've created and click **Update** to save.  ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-41-09-8190-PM.png?width=1339&height=816&name=image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-41-09-8190-PM.png) ### Connect Devices to the Right Locations Now, all that is left is to ensure that the scanning devices being used are assigned to the correct locations. Navigate to **Access Management \> Devices** and click the edit button to assign an existing device to the correct location. You can also do this while creating a new device login. Click **Update** to save.  ![](https://support.idscan.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-47-50-5135-PM.png?width=1339&height=731&name=image-png-Mar-08-2023-07-47-50-5135-PM.png)     - [VeriScan for Windows](https://support.idscan.net/veriscan-for-windows?hsLang=en#main-content) -
