1. A method of implementing operational setting profiles for a modular energy system, wherein the modular energy system comprises an energy module and a display screen configured to render a graphical user interface (GUI), and wherein the energy module comprises ports configured to deliver energy modalities to surgical instruments coupled thereto, the method comprising:
displaying, by the GUI, a plurality of widgets corresponding to the ports, wherein the plurality of widgets are configured to display information related to operational settings of the modular energy system;
storing, by a memory accessible by the modular energy system, a plurality of profiles, wherein each of the profiles comprises a profile name and a configuration of operational settings implementable by the modular energy system, wherein the operational settings comprise a first set of settings selected by a user and associated with the profile name that indicate one or more energy settings for each port and a second set of settings selected by the user and associated with the profile name that indicate whether each port is configured to be controlled by a foot switch;
displaying, by the GUI, a profile modal window configured to allow a user to select one or more profiles from the plurality of profiles;
implementing, by the modular energy system, the configuration of operational settings of a first profile of the plurality of profiles based on the user selecting the first profile using the profile modal window;
displaying, by the plurality of widgets, information related to the configuration of operational settings of the first profile based on the user selecting the first profile using profile modal window;
during a surgical procedure, displaying an energy modality editing window for the configuration of operational settings of the first profile, the surgical procedure being performed based upon the configuration of operational settings of the first profile;
during the surgical procedure, receiving, from a user via the energy modality editing window, an adjustment to the configuration of operational settings; and
upon completion of the surgical procedure, updating the configuration of operational settings of the first profile with the adjusted configuration of operational settings.
