# Presets

## Preset overview {#presets-about}

A preset is an existing set of settings that is stored in JSON format and can be included in an API request.


<!-- source: en/vrp/_includes/preset-types.md -->
Each preset belongs to one of the following types:

- `depot`: Depot settings.
- `location`: Order settings.
- `vehicle`: Courier or vehicle settings.
- `vehicle-shift`: Courier shift settings.
- `options`: Global options.
<!-- endsource: en/vrp/_includes/preset-types.md -->

A preset of a certain type can only be included in the corresponding field of the API request. To learn more, see [Using presets](https://yandex.kz/routing/doc/en/vrp/presets.md).

Public presets are available to everyone. Companies can create their own presets from scratch or by modifying public ones.

Presets are usually created and used in sets, with each set containing presets of different types and geared towards solving a specific task. Presets in a set normally have the same name.

## Creating a preset {#presets-adding}

2. Click **Add preset**.
3. Select a preset type.

When saving the preset, its contents are validated. If the JSON is invalid, you'll receive a message indicating the string that contain errors. Validation is also performed when changing the preset type. An invalid preset cannot be saved.

In the fields, you can specify geofences defined in your [company's master data](https://yandex.kz/routing/doc/en/vrp/interface-geozones.md) and [public geofences](https://yandex.kz/routing/doc/en/vrp/interface-geozones.md#geozones-public).
