Hi Rich,

For these two above you can have an empty IDV (no data & displays), configure 
your views and then save that as a bundle. You can even save that as the 
Default bundle (under the File menu) and it will load up every time you run.

We don't have a default for the 2d level. You could create the display and then 
save it off as a display template bundle through the Displays File->Save-> Save 
display as favorite  menu.
The named entry should show up in the Displays list in the Field Selector.
