Eyefinity is great for games but extended desktop is better for normal work. How do I set up quick switching between those two modes?

I've heard that it can be achieved using "Profiles" in Catalyst Control Center - I've found something called "Presets" in the latest 11.x version but can't figure it out (settings not being stored and applied properly). Can someone provided step by step instructions please?
