View of professional put on record (7)
I believe the answer is:
profile
'view' is the definition.
(profile is a kind of view)
'professional put on record' is the wordplay.
'professional' becomes 'pro' ('pro' can be a synonym of 'professional').
'put on record' becomes 'file' ('file' can be a synonym of 'put on record').
'pro'+'file'='PROFILE'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for profile that I've seen before include "Level of public recognition" , "Sideways outline" , "Side view of face" , "dossier" , "image" .)
