How to create presets
You can find the Presets settings in DJ-MediaTools component. Open Components -> DJ-MediaTools and click "Presets" in the left column.
Once the Presets link is clicked you will see all the Album settings (layout type, effects, on-click behavior, dimensions, an all layout and album elements options, etc. basically all you can find in the Album options) that can be changed and saved as a preset.
To create a preset - make changes to the Album settings available in the Presets, choose a preset name and type it in the "Preset name" field, click "Create new" (1).
Saved presets are available in the select list in "Preset" setting (2). Once the preset is selected, it will load all the Album settings saved in that preset.
The preset can be later modified and saved as a copy if you want to slightly change its settings or create a new preset based on the previously created one. To do so, simply select the Preset from the select list (1) and make changes in the settings. Once you're ready, give a new name for the modified preset and click "Save as copy".
You can also import presets. This feature work for ".json" type of files. You can select a file from your drive and use the import button (3).
That is not all - you can export your presets as well. The existing, saved preset can be downloaded or removed. After the download it will be stores as the ".json" file. And later you can import it to presets at DJ-MediaTools component.
