**Goal:** Replace legacy software interfaces that are using movable rectangles with hyperlinks and notes on them. I am hoping that I can learn how and replace one or two in the next 6 months. Examples of some legacy software I want to replace with Ignition: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/f/1fa9e1274b823641681347679212600b41ad021b.jpeg) **Things I think I can do:** Cmallonee and KGamble showed me ways to manually move objects on a canvas I think. [View Canvast 8.1](https://inductiveuniversity.com/videos/view-canvas/8.1) This video showed me how static objects can be animated on the view canvas. **Things I think I don't know yet:** Scaling for multiple static notes Duplicating notes dynamically Deleting notes Not sure how to create the instances of a template view for the rectangles in a canvas **Speculation without experience:** There is a way to make dictionary for making multiple, duplicating, and deleting the positions. **My current step** I think for a template view for the rectangles: Flex containers with labels with bindings A dataset to bind to Buttons that modify the dataset **Is there a simpler way?**
