Options Explained

This keyguard supports different designs based on user settings and preferences. Each of these affects the positioning of items on the screen, and thus the design of the keyguard itself. Your keyguard will be truly custom-designed to match every one of the choices you make for the end user.

Layout - Four standard layouts are supported, PODD 15 and PODD 60, with or without the message area at the top. Other layouts are supported as a custom layout. Provide a screen shot of the app in the configuration you wish to use. Press the home button and the power key at the same time. You'll see a flash as the screen shot is taken. Email that screen shot to Communicate AT. Note: It is not sufficient to take a photograph of the iPad with the app running. In order to make the keyguard pixel-perfect, we need an actual screen shot.

Controls/Page Back Button - When using the PODD 15 layout with the message area at the top, there's a "Controls" button in the upper right corner that is alternately used to return to the main page. If you wish to prevent the user from using that button, choose "Closed". This option is not recommended, and we charge you more to do it. When you close this button the user can get stuck on a page with no way back to the main page.

Cell Openings - By default, PODD 15 and PODD 60 cell openings are nearly-square rectangles, the same size as the icons on the screen. You can alternately select those openings to be circles if the user needs them more isolated
