Note: The purpose of the buttons in ConnectKey are only for scanning and not for browsing.
The top button type in the gallery hierarchy is the ConnectKey for DocuShare button. All child folder buttons and scan buttons are built under a ConnectKey for DocuShare button.
Start your button gallery by creating a ConnectKey for DocuShare button.
1. From the Administration menu, click Configure Buttons.
2. Click New ConnectKey for DocuShare Button.
3. In the Button Label field, enter a label name for the button.
4. You can give the ConnectKey for DocuShare button any label name you like, but make it short enough to be readable on the touch screen button.
5. In the Access Level field, select an Access Level from the menu.
6. The default is Guest, but select DocuShare Group to restrict access to members of a specific group or groups. If necessary, later you can change this setting.
7. If you want to use a custom icon for the top button, click Show Advanced Settings. The button icon currently being used is displayed.
8. To substitute a custom button icon in place of the default button icon, click Customize on the Customize Button Icon page.
9. On the Customize Button Icon page, select to Use the default icon, upload a new icon, or select an existing icon from a gallery of previously uploaded icons.
10. If you choose to upload a new icon use Browse to locate and upload the file.
11. Icons should be in a web-viewable format, such as gif, png, or jpg, and should be no larger than 128x128 pixels.
Note: Due to touch screen limitations of some MFPs, custom icon images do not scale. As you add more ConnectKey buttons to a touch screen, the buttons get smaller but the custom icon images crop rather than scale down with the button. Experiment to find the best size image graphic for your devices. For a use comparison, the default ConnectKey icon is 44 x 44 pixels.
Note: Due to cache issues with most MFPs, to display a newly added custom image on a ConnectKey button, you must either remove the button from the device, then re-deploy it, or reboot the MFP.
12. After uploading a new icon, click Apply.
13. When you have finished, click Add Button.
14. Your button gallery now displays the essential ConnectKey for DocuShare button. This is the first button a user sees on the MFP touch screen. Build a gallery of folder and scan buttons under this top button. You can create multiple ConnectKey for DocuShare buttons, with a different hierarchy of folder and scan buttons under each.
ConnectKey for DocuShare button actions
For the ConnectKey for DocuShare button, and for each button listed in the gallery, there are Actions
that you can perform to help build and manage the button gallery. Actions appear as icons under the
Action column for each button.
• View/edit settings
View/editing settings allows you to view and edit the fields of the button. The ConnectKey for
DocuShare and the folder buttons have just a few fields, while scan buttons have numerous fields, such as pathname to a collection, scanned document format defaults, and property field settings.
• Change permissions
Change permissions allows you to change the access level of the button.
• Delete the button
Delete allows you to delete the button from the gallery. Deleting the ConnectKey for DocuShare
button from the gallery also deletes all child buttons under that button. Deleting the ConnectKey
for DocuShare button also removes that button from deployed MFPs. Deleting a ConnectKey for
DocuShare button cannot be undone.
• Add child folder button
Child folder buttons are for organizational purposes, and allow you to create a hierarchy on the
MFP touch screen, with child folder buttons under parent folder buttons, to help guide users to the
correct scan button. Folder buttons do not point to DocuShare collections or network folders.
• Add child scan button
Scan buttons are deployed under folder buttons, and are used to scan documents to specific
collections or network folders. Scan buttons contain pathnames and property information.
