Make new filament profile and Calibrate

Hi, I have returned to Prusa machines and Prusaslicer after too many years with Bambu and Orca, and I can't remember how to calibrate filament brands that are not in the profile list. And what settings to change? In Orca, they have a little calibration tab with different tests you can run to dial in the filament. Such as flow rate, pressure advance, temperature towers, retraction tests, and Max Volumetric speed. Does anyone know if there is a good guide somewhere for this? I know the end result doesn't differ that much from a generic profile, but I like doing it, and one can always strive for better quality! If I don't remember wrong, PrusaSlicer and Orca can reference the same thing, but they call it different things?

All tips on guides or models are welcome.

Pressure advance is located in Filaments>Custom G-code>Start G-code  second block of code for M572. The other settings can be easily found using the search bar on the top/top-right of the windows.
