Modifying and Creating Shortcuts

Livescribe Connect shortcuts are how you use Connectors from the smartpen. A shortcut starts the Livescribe Connect smartpen application with appropriate parameters.

A Livescribe Connect shortcut specifies destination values (folder, collection, tags, post descriptions, etc.) and sending formats. The destination values override any defaults specified in the configuration page of the Connector. Certain Connectors allow you to specify additional information. Each shortcut is associated with one Connector, though a Connector may have several shortcuts.

Livescribe Connect comes with default shortcuts, which you may modify in certain ways. You can also create your own custom shortcuts.

Shortcuts specify three kinds of information:

the Connector to use.
(optional) refinements of the destination settings of the Connector. These values override the default destination settings specified in the Connector configuration.
Note: Custom Email shortcuts allow you to enter email addresses to form a mail list. On the smartpen, your custom Email shortcut uses the mail list, and the smartpen app does not ask you for selections from the Address Book.
the format to send: PDF or PNG Image for notes only; M4A Audio for audio only; Pencast or Pencast PDF for notes and audio. Formats available depend on which Connector is selected. See Formats For Sending Notes and Audio.
