Proloquo2Go Manual 2.3_Nov_23 - AssistiveWare

It isn’t always necessary to have different views for a folder depending on how many
columns the user has selected. For most of the folders you create, you will just want the
buttons to “flow” to fill the space available for all sizes of buttons. This type of a view is called
the All Sizes view. No matter what number of columns is selected, the same buttons are
displayed in the same order. When you create a folder in Proloquo2Go, it is the All Sizes
view that is created. All Sizes views behave the way categories behaved in Proloquo2Go
1.x. You will have to take extra steps to create a folder that shows different buttons when the
column number is different, and in most cases, you won’t need to do that. Here is an
example of an All Sizes folder, US Money. No matter what you set the number of columns to,
the same buttons are displayed in the same order:
It is possible to have a folder that has an All Sizes view and views for specific numbers of
columns. Many of the Core Word fringe folders are constructed this way. This is because for
many of the fringe folders, it is useful to have core vocabulary on the fringe page when the
number of columns is high - there is plenty of room for the core vocabulary, and the core
words allow the user to communicate more efficiently. However, when the number of
columns gets smaller the core vocabulary starts to fill up the first screenful of buttons, and
inclusion of the core vocabulary on the fringe pages becomes much less useful. For these
folders, there is an All Sizes view for the larger number of columns, and views for the smaller
number of columns where the core vocabulary is moved into storage.
How can you tell what views a folder has? In edit mode, you can use the view tab of the
tools panel to see what views exist for a folder, and change the appearance of those views.
Lets look at a simple folder first - US Money has only one view, All Sizes.
