Saving Pen Tray and Floating Tools Settings as User
Win
Profiles (Windows Only)
Individual Windows users may want to save the changes they've made to the Pen Tray tools
and Floating Tools in the form of a user profile. This profile can be saved and then opened
whenever that user next uses the SMART Board.
This means that multiple users of the same SMART Board, all with different tool needs and
preferences, can tailor the Pen Tray tools and Floating Tools for their own purposes and
never have to repeat the configuration procedure.
Each user profile is stored as an STLS file in the SMART Board Software directory on your
hard drive (wherever you installed the software initially). If you want to move a profile from
one computer to another, you can either move the STLS file to a shared network directory
or copy it onto a floppy disk and transfer it physically to the floppy drive on the destination
computer. At this point, you'll need to copy the STLS file into the destination computer's
SMART Board Software directory.
To save your tools settings as a user profile:
1 Reconfigure the Pen Tray tools or Floating Tools as described on pages 17−21. As
soon as you begin editing the settings, a user profile named Temporary will be
assigned. If you want to keep these settings, we recommend that you save the user
profile under a different name.
2 Press the drop-down arrow in the User Profiles text box.
3 Select Save As.
A New Profile dialog will appear. The user name with which you logged on to your
system will appear as the default profile name.
4 Accept the default profile name or type any name you prefer in its place.
5 Press the OK button.
The new profile will appear as the currently selected user profile in the User Profiles
text-entry box.
6 Press the OK button at the bottom of the SMART Board Control Panel to begin using
your new user profile immediately.
To delete a user profile:
1 Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the SMART Board Software directory on your
hard drive. The SMART Board Software directory is likely located in your Programs
folder.
2
Locate the .STLS file that corresponds to the user profile you'd like to delete.
