5.6. Importing and Exporting Keyboards
You can use any provided keyboard with symbol-based pages. To change keyboards, go into Edit Mode by
selecting
View > Go to Edit Mode . Then select View > Page Editing > Import Keyboard . A list of available
keyboards (from all configurations) will appear. Select the keyboard that you want to use and select OK . In
order to add the new keyboard, Palmtop will need to reload the configuration. If you are already using a user
configuration, the system will reload the configuration with the new keyboard. If you are using a standard
configuration, you will be prompted to specify a user configuration name before the reload occurs. Once the
configuration is reloaded, the current configuration will have access to the new keyboard.
You can also export custom keyboards to keyboard files so that they can be used in other configurations. To
do this, go into Edit Mode and select
View > Page Editing > Export Keyboard . You will then be asked to
enter the name of the keyboard file. The resulting keyboard can be imported into any configuration.
5.7. Locking and Unlocking Configurations
You can lock a configuration to prevent anyone from editing it without knowing the password. This is also
useful for preventing accidental changes. To lock a configuration, select
View > Lock Config . Select Yes to
lock the configuration with a password (you may also select No to lock the configuration without assigning a
password). A new dialog will open and you will be asked to enter the password. Select OK once you have
done so, and you will be asked to confirm the password. Select OK again and the configuration will now be
locked. After you have set the password, select File > Configurations > Save Config to save the
configuration.
If you try to edit a locked configuration, you will be prompted for the password. If you supply an incorrect
password, you will be unable to edit the configuration. If you provide the correct password, the configuration
will remain unlocked until you lock it again. Whenever you re-lock a configuration, you will be asked whether
you want to use the existing password or set a new password.
If you forget your configuration password, you can use the backup password. Select View > About IMPACT .
The backup password is the first eight characters of the ID string.
