Creating Custom Shortcuts

You can create custom shortcuts for Livescribe Connect. Custom shortcuts specify:

  • the Connector to use.

  • (optional) refinements of the destination settings of the Connector. Settings you specify here override defaults specified in Connector configuration.

  • the format to send.

Create a custom shortcut by following these general steps. For details, click one of the links below.

  1. Click Add Shortcut.
  2. Enter a name for the shortcut.
    Note: The shortcut name cannot be the same as any other Livescribe Connect shortcut or Connector name. You may enter all characters recognized by the locale currently selected on your smartpen. Spaces are allowed. Choose a shortcut name of just a few characters, since you will be writing it often. The shortcut name displays on the smartpen as you write it.
  3. Click the down-arrow in the Connector column and select a Connector.

    Additional links may appear, depending on the Connector selected.

  4. Click the Add... links below the Connector, if desired. Specifying values here overrides the destination defaults from the Connector configure page.
    Note: When creating a custom Email shortcut, you can enter email addresses to form a mail list. Click the To, CC, and BCC links to enter email addresses in those fields. On the smartpen, your custom Email shortcut uses the mail list; the smartpen app does not ask you for selections from the Address Book.
  5. Click the down-arrow in the Format column.

    The menu contains available formats for the Connector. See Formats For Sending Notes and Audio.

  6. Select the desired format.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Connect (dock) your smartpen to your computer to transfer new and updated shortcuts to the smartpen.
