Create a configuration that matches device
Chat Editor will support various configurations of systems. If you support multiple devices you will want to create configurations to match each devices configuration. I.e. Susan might use a NOVA chat with English and Spanish vocabulary files with both PCS and SymbolStix images and Holly might use TouchChat with SymbolStix only.

• Choose OK when asked to Create New Configuration
• Choose the device being used and OK
• Choose options that match that specific device and OK
• Give the configuration a name, e.g. 'Susan’s device'
• If you are supporting just one device, check the box prior to “Skip future selections and use this as default”.

To change the configuration when ChatEditor is already running:
• choose Settings>Configuration>Switch Configuration, choose the appropriate configuration or choose to Create a New Configuration.
