Check out the documentation for information about what you need for each screen type: http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/index.php Mark Comments Hi, All screens in buzztouch are created through the use of JSON.

JSON is plain text and the docs he pointed out will for sure get you going. In essence you can create any screens you want programmatically at runtime or define them in an external file in advance.

Can I just use an arbitrary ID I assign as long as it is unique? Comments If I am going to create screens programmatically how do I get or generate the ItemID's?

David @ buzztouch buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 6866 Reg: Jan 01, 2010 Monterey, CA 78,840	02/04/12 01:16 AM (14 years ago) Exactly. I generally use numbers. You can use text type names, just don't include any spaces or special characters. When you looking at the JSON, it's much easier to use some sort of numbering strategy to group things so you can sort of keep track. Like web1, web2, map1, map2, button1, button2, etc. Comments Exactly. I generally use numbers. You can use text type names, just don't include any spaces or special characters.

I assume the answer is no, but is there a method to add screens programmatically to the control panel? I assume this would only be possible with BTv2.0?
