Overview
Pre-defs are a list of values that are primarily used in Form Drop-downs, and Radio buttons.
These values are equivalent to Codesets in PowerSchool.
...
Predefs (Predefined values) create groupings of data options that can be added to drop-down fields within the form. Predefs can be created in the Predefs setting page, or on the fly in the Change Predef window while editing a Form Field.
To add and edit Predefs, got to Settings > Predefs.
