Example: If you are talking about an identity photo say for pplying for a 
driver license you have to provide 2 photos
 1 face
 and one profile

so you can say for the later: sourat tashkeel jaanibee

second example :

if you are painting an object, u can paint or use the profile view of this 
object
= تشكيل جانبي

yes but I don't have a precise tranlation
it is something near to, say for example
a file containing some descriptive properties of someone or something, u can 
store them and call them at will

may be the nearest meaning in arabic is = 
خاصية ، خاصيات ، ميّزات ، مواصفات ، صفات
