SmartBoard is a huge timesaver! Only a few minutes are needed to learn all the things you can do with it, and we're completely convinced you'll think it worth every penny you spend on it!

Capturing data you copy from other programs

• The normal Windows Clipboard is designed to keep track of a single piece of information at a time. Sometimes in different formats, but essentially the same basic data. If you copy a second piece of information to the Clipboard you lose what was there before.
• SmartBoard significantly enhances the capabilities of the Windows Clipboard by enabling the collection of multiple items. It does this by watching the Clipboard and automatically capturing any data that you have configured it to collect.
• Example. Let's say you wanted to copy three different paragraphs of text, and a couple of graphics from a different Word document, and then paste them somewhere else. Using the Windows Clipboard, you would have to switch between applications and cut/paste each element individually. Time consuming and very prone to mistakes!

• The beauty of SmartBoard is that is designed to act more like an extension of Windows itself, rather than a separate application. It sits quietly and discretely waiting for you to need it when you want to retrieve that precious clip item and paste it back into your document.
  • If you are using the mouse you can click at any edge of your screen or on the icon in the Notification Area at the end of the Windows Taskbar. SmartBoard then pops up ready for use, and when you've finished can vanish automatically.
  • If you are using the keyboard you can hit the Access Hot-Key (by default Ctrl+PageUp). SmartBoard will then pop up ready for your use.
• SmartBoard is designed to work they way you're used to working.

Using the information - pasting with power!
 

• Pasting back the items you selected is simplicity itself, and in most cases you don't even need to use the application's own Paste features.
• Simply double-click on the item you want to paste back, and it goes straight into the application you were previously using. And don't worry about SmartBoard being in the way - as soon as you've pasted the information in, SmartBoard can be configured to vanish out of the way until you need it again.
• If you prefer the keyboard more than the mouse, you can just hit the SmartBoard Access hotkey, and up it pops. You can then easily select and paste back the item you want.
• Your workflow certainly won't be interrupted using SmartBoard, in fact it will be significantly enhanced - no need to be permanently switching between SmartBoard and the other application like many other clipboard extenders. SmartBoard is not only powerful and convenient, but it actually saves you time.

Flexible Organization

• Many users will find that they want to organize their data into different folders, and SmartBoard makes this easy.
• You can add and remove folders and sub-folders to organize the data in the way that is most useful to you, and drag and drop items between folder. The display is also divided by tabs into three "major types" of data: Text; Images, and Other, to further help organization.

Sharing the data

• SmartBoard is a multi-user system, you can share your data around your network, or even over the Internet!
