Configuration preset for upcoming panel elements can be created at the `.config` level of your Angular application. To create a preset configuration object, use the `$mdPanelProvider` dependency within a `.config` method and call `$mdPanelProvider.definePreset` with the preset name and an object containing the options needed for the configuration of a panel. This object will be stored for you so that the next time you need to `create` or `open` a panel, you can include the preset name in the method request, `$mdPanel.create('name', {...})`, to have the preset configuration options be added to the panel.

The configuration object takes all of the options found within the `$mdPanel.create` method; however, it will not accept any options that depend on user interaction, panel positioning, or panel animation.

This will help you reduce the necessary lines of configuration code that are required to create a panel when you are wanting to have multiple panels that are largely the same.
