Repair Preset Types Reference
BayWise Scheduler includes three built-in repair presets. Each preset is a pre-built sequence of job steps designed for a specific type of repair. You apply a preset when creating a multi-step job, then customise the steps for the specific vehicle.
To understand how presets work in practice, see Work With Multi-Step Jobs.
Body Minor — Dent & Paint (4 steps)

| 1. Paint Prep | Surface Prep | 1.5 hours |
| 2. Paint Application | Spray Painting | 2 hours |

Creating custom presets
These three are starting points. You can:
- Customise steps when applying a preset to any specific job
- Create your own presets in Settings, then Catalog, then Repair Presets
Your custom presets will appear alongside these built-in ones when creating a multi-step job.
