Presets
Dataform presets are predefined Dataform instances that can be create new Dataform instances with the same structure and data (if included) in the same course, in other courses in the site, or in other sites. Dataform presets are created from within a Dataform instance and applied to a new instance from within the new instance.
Make a preset
Once you have your Dataform activity set up with or without user content, you can make a preset of it. The preset can be created in one of the following ways:
- Without user data - Only the Dataform structure - fields, views, filters, etc. - are included in the preset
- With user data
- With user data anonymized
The newly created preset should be added to the list of course presets on the page.

Fields
Each entry in a dataform activity consists of a set of information elements of one or more types depending on the nature of the activity. These information elements are called fields and they are the means for adding and viewing content in the activity.
