Quick Newbie question RE configuration of screens

I'm in the initial stages of trying to set up my 520 and have one quick, probably obvious question:

Can the screens on the 520 be set up via the iPhone app, or only by button pressing on the device itself?

I'm asking, since it seems like such an obvious feature to have; it would appear the folks at Garmin beg to differ. Just need to confirm that I'm not missing something.

Thanks!

Currently they can only be set-up on the device. Activity profiles can be moved between devices to be reused and you can clone a profile with some basic computer skills to create the starting point for a new profile.

Yes, external profile setup via smartphone, PC or iPhone would seem to be such an obvious function for Garmin to develop and offer. It's such a tedious and forgettable task to do profile setup via the device. In any case, I use only one profile with two screens - screen 1 for training, screen 2 for racing - to minimise button pressing.
