In a method and apparatus for generating a favorites set containing a number of protocols, each protocol of the multiple protocols including control parameters for controlling a medical imaging apparatus, a computer determines a system parameter of the medical imaging apparatus, and an entry is made into the computer that designates a requirement of a user of the medical imaging apparatus. The computer then automatically defines a favorites set, taking into account the system parameter and the requirement.
