Assigning a Tool to a Core Key on your SpringBoard.
Summary:
If you assign a tool to a core key on your communication overlay, the tool replaces the icon that was associated with that key.
Use the ASSIGN CORE KEYS MENU to assign a tool to any keys in the core vocabulary area of your communication overlay. Use the CREATE ACTIVITY or MODIFY ACTIVITY to assign a tool to the Activity Row.
When you assign a tool to a core vocabulary key, the tool replaces the icon that was associated with the key. If you activate the key, it will perform the duties of the tool you assigned to it.
When you assign a tool to a key, you can no longer use that key as part of an icon sequence for a message.
To Assign a Tool to a Core Vocabulary Key:
1. Go to the Toolbox. Activate the ASSIGN CORE KEYS MENU.
2. Activate the key on your Minspeak overlay where you want to assign the tool.
3. Activate the Tool key in the Assign Key As box.
4. Activate the Enter Assignment key.
5. Activate INSERT TOOL on the Spelling overlay.
6. Now you see the ALL TOOLS LIST. Select the tool you want to assign to the key.
7. You return to the Spelling keyboard.
8. Activate OK.
9. You return to the Menu.
If you want to change the label, you can do it now. If you want a blank label, type a space instead of a word. If you want to add an icon to remind you of the tool stored there, you can do so now.
