To create a CMS Builder preset do the following:
1. Log into CMS Builder and create a new section editor (Admin -> Section Editors -> Add New Editor). For this example we'll create a new Multi Record editor and enter in Articles as the Menu and Table Name. Click "Create New Menu".
2. Modify your new "Articles" section editor and add new fields as you see fit.
3. When done, on your server go to /cmsAdmin/data/schema folder and copy over your articles.ini.php file to your /cmsAdmin/data/schemaPresets folder. (Make sure you copy the schema file and not move it or else your initial table will disappear).
4. For new CMS Builder installations you can simply place the articles.ini.php file in the /cmsAdmin/data/schemaPresets folder and when creating a new section editor select "Articles" from the "select presets" drop down.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know.

By the ability to add preset is very nice and i will be using it a lot, but i have a question about it:
what are the options when creating a field in the preset. For example:
[userID]
order = 7
label = "User ID"
type = "textfield"
defaultValue = ""
description = ""
fieldWidth = ""
isPasswordField = 0
isRequired = 1
isUnique = 1
minLength = ""
maxLength = ""
charsetRule = ""
charset = ""How would i make this field an integer field with a particular length and making it an auto_increment?
I guest the real question is, do you have a list of all the options available to create a field in a preset?
Cheers!

There's no user documentation for the fieldnames used in the schema datafiles.
That said, you can find a list of the fields and their default values in the php code at the top of /cmsAdmin/lib/menus/database/editField_functions.php
You can specify custom mysql column types through CMSB under: Admin > Section Editors > Your Section > Field Editor > Your Field > Advanced Options > MySQL Column Type
And this gets saved in the schema data file like this:
customColumnType = "INT"
And everything is hardcoded to use the 'num' fieldname as the default id field and have it be auto_increment.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
