The following article outlines what presets are, how to create them, and how you can manage them using Arlo.
Overview
Arlo's presets feature allows you to set up and apply favourite settings to your events to save time and reduce inconsistency within your events. This is useful where you have a number of administrators creating events and using different settings. You can set up multiple presets for your administrators to use to set up events. For example, you may have a preset for all-day events and a preset for afternoon events.
Note: Presets are optional, you do not have to apply a preset to your events.
