How do I Create a Bucket?

Login to your account and select the Buckets tab. Then select Create a Bucket.

Fill out the form and select Create Bucket.

Permalinks: Permalinks are used in urls instead of id numbers. See below.
Draft: Draft buckets will not be visible for non-authorized users.
Hidden: Hidden buckets won't show up in the table of contents for a Space. Users who have permission to access a space will be able to access lessons in a hidden bucket if they know the full url of the lesson.

Once you create the bucket you will be taken to the bucket screen. Click on Add lessons now to add lessons to the bucket.

Note: You can also post lessons directly to a bucket from your ScreenSteps Desktop software.

Here is an example of how permalinks work. Compare these two urls for a ScreenSteps Live manual that has a permalink:

• http://bmls.screenstepslive.com/spaces/screensteps/manuals/mypermalink
• http://bmls.screenstepslive.com/spaces/screensteps/manuals/38

If I have a manual with an id of 38 and a permalink of "mypermalink" then both urls would display the same manual.

So why use a permalink?

It will make your urls more readable, AND it will make it possible for you to change the manual for a url at any time. You can't change the id of a manual. But you can change the permalink. So, if at a later time you want to have a new manual show up here, just give it a permalink of "mypermalink" and it will show up when users access the url "http://bmls.screenstepslive.com/spaces/screensteps/manuals/mypermalink"
