You can create presets from scratch (first two options) or from a preconfigured blueprint (see options below under “recommendations”). Blueprints are available for specific use cases, such as incident management and internal ticketing.

Meetings Preset blueprints provide pre-filled configuration options for:

(Meeting) title and description
Date and time (start and end dates)
