Setting Up a Custom Icon Strip




If your SMART interactive product supports icon strips, you can set up a custom icon strip. The custom icon strip enables you to quickly access your frequently used tools by pressing the screen. You can position the custom icon strip on the left, right or bottom edge of the interactive product inside the black border.

TIP: Make sure that the edge of the tool strip is aligned with the frame of the interactive product.




To set up the custom icon strip

  1. Open the SMART Notebook control panel.

  1. Press SMART Hardware Settings.




The upper area of the control panel displays an image of the SMART product connected to the computer.

  1. If your computer is connected to more than one SMART product, the upper area of the control panel displays an image of each SMART product. Press the image of the product with the settings that you want to change.

  2. Select Set Up Icon Strips in the list.

  3. Press Add.

The Available Strips dialogue box appears.

  1. Select Custom Strip and then press OK to display the calibration screen.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to define the corners of the icon strip.

NOTES

If you press the interactive screen too far from the edge of the icon strip, an error message appears and you must try again.

You can change the behaviour of icons and reposition or remove the tool strip at any time.




Once you have completed the calibration, a list of available tools appears. These available tools are organised into four tabs: Launch, General, Tools and Display.

  1. If you want to add a tool in the Available Tools list to the icon strip, press its icon and then press Add to move it to the Current Toolbar list.




If you want to add a program button to the icon strip that isn't included in the Available Tools list, press Browse, select the program's executable file and then press Open.




If you want to add a link to a webpage to the icon strip, press Link to website, type the Web address and then press OK.




If you want to remove an icon from the Current Toolbar list, select the icon and then press Remove.




If you want to rearrange the order of the tools, select a tool in the Current Toolbar list and then press Move Up or Move Down.
