presetting
Configuring in advance
Presetting is configuring something in advance, before it's needed or used.
You preset an oven temperature, a radio station, or factory defaults on a device.
The word emphasizes preparation: Presetting the thermostat saves energy while you're away.
The noun preset refers to the saved configuration itself.
