I have to check the videos, but my guess is by easier way I must be referring to the use of Column Set Builder. You can create column sets using the Builder or directly using the column set screen. Through the builder you can create it easily.
Using the seeded columns set is as easy as assigning it to your FSG report. I recommend that you build the column set from scratch after finding out the client's requirements. It is easier that way. Feel free to explore the seeded ones. I always have build my own sets.
