Scan Profiles in Scan Profiles

There are scan profiles that come with PDQi which include other scan profiles so if I update a scan profile that is embedded in "Standard" it will now run when the Standard profile runs but can also be manually run without any of the other profiles running in the Standard profile. Is there a way for me to create my own scan profile and embed other profiles in this? I'm hoping it's something simple I'm missing but have not been able to figure this out. Thank you!

Scan Profiles contain Scanners. There is no way to link Scan Profiles to each other, but it is possible to link a Scanner to multiple Scan Profiles by editing the database. I built a PowerShell script to make that editing process easier.
```
Install-Module -Name 'PdqStuff'
Import-Module -Name 'PdqStuff'
Connect-PdqInventoryScanner
```
You can also do it manually:
