How do I Create an Activity in a Pathfinder?
Baking Cookies
1. Go to the Toolbox and open the ACTIVITY menu.
2. Select Create Activity then spell the name of your new activity. For example you might spell, "Cookies". Activate OK when you have finished spelling.
3. Choose an icon from one of the Icon Categories to represent the new activity . Use the ARROW keys on your overlay to navigate the categories and icons.
You might want to open the AROUND THE HOME category and then open the KITCHEN sub-category. You could then select a Cookies icon.
TIP: You can use the Spell Icon To Find key to spell the first few letters of an icon name. Activate OK. The Pathfinder will bring up all the icons that might have the name you are looking for. When the icon you want is highlighted, activate OK.
Note: The icon you just created will not appear on the Modify Item Within Activity screen as you continue to create the items within the activity. It will appear in the Activity Row on your display when you have finished creating the activity and exited the menu.
4. Now you can create the items in your "Baking Cookies" activity.
The first (blank) key in the activity is highlighted with a red box around it.
This will be your first activity item.
5. Select the Choose Icon option and select an icon for the key.
TIP: If the name of the icon you select represents what you want to say, you will not have to type in a message. The Pathfinder will speak the label on the icon.
6. Options: If you do not like the label for an icon, you can select the Change Label option. For example, you might want to use the "oven" icon, but you would like the Pathfinder to speak, "bake". You can change the label to "bake". If you want the Pathfinder to speak, "Bake at 350 degrees", you must also select the Spell Text for Message option and type in the message.
7. Select Spell Text for Message and enter the text you want spoken. Select OK when finished.
8. Select the next empty box to continue to create your activity and follow steps 5 - 7. When you have finished, select OK to save your changes and exit the menu.
