I'm just starting to program one of my biggest jobs... numbers k4's with 21 zones of audio and numerous other things. My question to you guys that are doing 100+ pages is, how do you organize your pages and label them. Everytime I talk to Brett I stress the need for better page organization and the ability to expand the page window. Man this is sooooo frustrating... So what are you guys doing? Examples.....

Thanks...

This is how i keep them organized. I rarely go over 30 pages though. Home is always the first page then i break everything up into a group. I try and keep animations and help pages at the end of the list of pages so they are out of the way.

1.Home
2.Audio-Source Selection
3.Audio-CD
4.Audio-XM
5.Video-Source Selection
6.Video-DirecTV
7.Lights-Room Selection
8.Lights-Den
9.Lights-Kitchen

Biggest one I have done was just shy of 90 pages, 30 TVs with 6 audio zones.

1.Home
2.Outside Ent.
3.Main Dining 1
4.Main Dining 2
5.Bar
6.Private Room
7.Lounge
8.Dugout
9.Game Room
10.TV 1
11.TV 2
39.TV 30
40.Audio 1
45.Audio 6
46.Sat 1 A
47.Sat 1 B
80.Sat 12 A
81.Sat 12 B

You get the point.

Best part of the whole thing was, about five days before the place was to open, the former pro baseball player that the resturaunt was themed after was lying to congresws about taking roids, so the owners backed out and decided to not open the place. A few month later and some new owner and new graphics, it is open and working great.

I just finished a job with 18 zones of distributed audio and video. There are five T2C Zigbee "floating" remotes, each has 170+ pages. The two RK3's each have 40 pages or so just for thier zone.

On the floating remotes I put the home, zone select, and common/automation pages first, then I organize the pages by zone/location then by activity:

Home - A/V zone select
Weather current
Weather forecast
HVAC living
HVAC master
Info/Help
Please wait
Kitchen Home
Kitchen Audio select
Kitchen Video select
Kitchen Cable
Kitchen Cable Favs
Kitchen Cable Music
Kitchen DVD
Kitchen iPod Now playing
Kitchen iPod Browse
Kithcen AM/FM
Bedroom Home
Bedroom Audio select
Bedroom Video select
Bedroom Cable
Bedroom Cable Favs
Bedroom Cable Music
Bedroom DVD
Bedroom iPod Now playing
Bedroom iPod Browse
Bedroom AM/FM
Bathroom Home
etc...
