Predefined filters

The site admin can create some predefined filters that users will be able to apply, that way they don't need to remember the Origin and User Agent to apply. By default, this plugin includes a predefined filter to display some content in the official Moodle app.

To define these predefined plugins, go to "Site Administration > Plugins > Text editors > WebService Filter settings > Predefined filters".
