Sonarr Profiles; how do you do it?

I wanted a short profile name so it fits one line in Series Table list. Wanted it to be clear if I had sorted out the files as some folders I have many manual downloads from years before Sonarr in many formats. Also wanted to be able to have split formats for long running series; say like DVD for early years and 720p Web for current.

This is what I ended up with…

Status:
Sort - Unsorted (no work done on series)
Work - Work in progress (part way through sorting out files)
View - Continuing series: All sorted and all screened episodes obtained.
Done - Finished series: All sorted and complete.

Resolution:
S Standard 0480p
H High Definition 0720p
F Full HD 1080p
U Ultra HD 2160p

Media:
T TV
D DVD
W Web
B Blu-ray

Format:
SSSS SHFU TDWB
