What is the Easiest Way to Program a Key? (Using the Set-Up Key)

Using the SET-UP Tool

The SET-UP tool makes modifying Activities, Pages and vocabulary easier. Using the SET-UP tool means that you don't have to go to the Toolbox and open various menus each time you want to make a change to an icon or Activity or Page, etc.

On most devices, the SET-UP tool was assigned to the key nearest the top right corner on the front of your case. If for some reason this has been changed, you can re-assign it using the ASSIGN CORE KEYS menu in the Toolbox. Try Out the SET-UP Key

This is a picture of the location of the Set Up key on the SpringBoard.

1. Go to your vocabulary overlay so you see the key you want to modify.

2. Select the Set-Up Key.

3. Select the key on your overlay you want to modify.

4. Modify it by adding your text to speak, changing your icon and changing the label.  Select OK to exit.

5. Now try out that key.  Does it work and look the way you want it to?  If not, select your SET-UP key again and choose the key on the overlay. Now make the necessary changes.

The SET-UP Tool works with Core vocabulary, Activities, Pages—any menu where you are allowed to assign, store or modify keys.
