If you do not see the edit buttons mentioned below, it is possible that editing has been disabled in your copy of eKeypad Pro. Open the Config -> “Look and Feel” screen. Make sure the “Edit Interface” switch is turned ON.


Side Menu

The side menu is the default interface style in eKeypad Pro. You can set the screen displayed at launch by placing this screen at the top of the menu list.

  • If not already open, tap on the icon of the three bars in the lower left corner to expose a menu on the left side of the screen.
  • Tap on the edit button in the top left corner of the menu to allow editing of the menu.
  • When in editing mode, all menu rows will have an image of three bars on the right side. Touch and hold this image to change the order of the rows.
  • The row at the top of the menu list will be the screen displayed when eKeypad is launched.
