Creating a New Activity in the Vantage Lite
Video (Click play button to start.)
You can create your own Activities and add them to your Activity Row. Before you start, it is a good idea to plan the Activity. What do you want it to be about? What words/messages will you be storing? What icons will you use? You will want all these things to be consistent for the person who will be using the Activity.
This example uses the default or BLANK template.
1. Go to the Toolbox and activate the 
CREATE ACTIVITY key.
2. Spell a name for your new Activity.
3. Choose an icon for the Activity from one of the Icon Categories.
4. Now you see the screen that allows you to create the keys in your Activity.
Notice that two keys are automatically defined for you: the ACTIVITY key and the MORE key.
5. Select a blank key to define. The red highlight box moves to the key you selected.
6. Add a message to your key. Select Computer or Recorded speech.
7. If you selected Recorded, select the Spell Message, or Define Key Function key and spell any text to go with the key, then record your message.
If you selected Computer, select the Spell Message, or Define Key Function key then spell your message.
Select OK when you have finished recording or typing.
8. Select the key in the bottom left corner of the screen that says Change Icon.
9. Select an icon for your key.
10. If you want a different label, select Change Label and type in a new label for your key. Select OK. If you want a blank label, type a space instead of a word.
11. Use Change Key Color to change the color of your key. (You could make all the keys in this activity the same color.)
12. If you plan to use Picture Prediction™, select whether you want this key’s position to be Locked or Unlocked. If Locked, the key position will never move when Picture Prediction is turned On in the FEEDBACK menu. (See page 113 for more about Picture Prediction
13. Activate the next key you want to define and repeat these steps.
14. When you have completed defining keys in your Activity, select OK. Then go to your
overlay and test the Activity.
Note: If you make a mistake when you are defining a key, select and start over.
