Unassigning a Preset
Unassigning a camera’s preset deletes the preset’s name and script tag, leaving the camera position stored in the camera intact. When you
unassign a preset, the following changes take effect:
•The preset name no longer appears in the presets drop-down list in the camera’s gadget.
•Scripts defined by the system administrator can no longer refer to the preset.
To unassign a camera’s preset, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to edit the presets for that camera.

list as Unassigned_i. Scripts will no longer be able to refer to the preset, and the preset will no longer be available through the presets
drop-down list in the camera’s gadget.
NOTE: Unassigning a preset that is referred to in a script introduces an error into the script.
