Multi-Choice Autonomous

Hello! We've created seven (and counting!) different autonomous modes to account for the various situations we might end up being in and what we decide to do depending on the other alliance robots as well as the robots on the opposing alliance. We program in Labview, so what I would like to know is if we can put controls on the front panel (the grey page with gridlines) with a separate button for each of the seven autonomous modes so that we wouldn't have to run a different .lvproj each time we want to use a different version of autonomous. What I plan on doing is just clicking one of the seven buttons on the front panel right before each match to make it light up. The project reads which one of the seven buttons is true, making its corresponding case structure true (for the moment, I think that I'll be using case structures, but I'm open to any suggestions you may have). Basically, I know how this will be programmed, but my main question is if I am allowed to do this. I know that this may seem like a strange question to some people, but then again, I've seen stranger rules than this! Feel free to ask if any details of my questions seem foggy. Thanks enormously for any help or suggestions!
