This is specific for the Anycubic printet. The creator of the Anycubic printer definition decided it was better to concentrate on one set of quality profiles, for PLA, instead of a large set of untested materials.

Being able to select materials is a relatively new feature and very difficult to implement. It sets things like bed and nozzle temperature. You are just going to have to set bed and nozzle temperature yourself manually. Every printer is different so a 200C nozzle temp for PLA is great for an Ultimaker with a 0.4mm nozzle but change the nozzle or the printer or the layer height and now you probably need to change the temperature anyway. For example Ultimaker came up with about 60 files for just the UM3 and the 0.4mm nozzle. It's a lot of work to create these profiles and they aren't going to create them for other printers but maybe the "anycubic" people can create profiles?
They're not really that useful though -- I mean you aren't missing much. Just go to the website of the company that makes the material and they will have a recommended print temperature. Start with that.
