Helping Confused Clients With BOBS and LISTS
When do clients get confused? When their system is full of old gear they couldn’t afford to replace! When the
salesmen sell components without discrete codes! When the manufacturer of a cool new product blows it and
incorporates hard to use, but vital features! In any event, by using CKEditor you can often solve confusion very effec-
tively by using BOBS (Big Obvious Buttons on every page the client might need them).

relatively simple way to make operation of a device like this much less confusing. Here’s how to go about it:
1 Using LCD Button Editor, move the top right button in every device that uses the TV to another location

2 Now, program each empty button on each device to shortcut to the TV Input command. In this example,
the Satellite device’s top left button is programmed with the TV’s scrolling Input command.

Using
LCD Button Editor relabel each of these shortcut buttons an easy name for the client to remember.
The end result is a client who always knows how to fix his TV...
