1. Toggle on “Show Design Tab” to show the Design Tab (Paintbrush icon).
2. Select the Design tab (Paintbrush icon).

1. Navigate to the Design tab (Paintbrush icon) and load the draft definition file downloaded here.
2. Once the file loads you should see the Dash keyboard layout at the top of the screen and the initial setup is complete (this only needs to be done once).

1. Select the Configure tab (Keyboard icon).
2. Then click the "Authorize device" button to show a list of the connect VIA compatible devices.

1. Select "JCPal Dash" from the list of devices then click "Connect".
2. The Configure page should automatically load, but if not try refreshing the page and connecting again. If you have trouble please contact us.

Once the layout loads you're ready to dive in and start customizing your Dash!

Note: On the Settings page (Gear icon) you can select different colour keycap themes for VIA. We recommend the "Navy Blue A" (shown below) theme as this will more clearly show the different key zones on the Dash.

1. To change a keys function, first select the appropriate layer and then the key you want to customize.
2. Once highlighted, select any function from the list in menu #4 to automatically apply the new function to the selected key.
3. For this example, we're doing to create a Macro so we can assign a new shortcut. To do this we'll select the Macro option in menu #4, then select one of the Macro numbers to assign this Macro to the key.

1. Once a Macro is assigned to a key (in this example we're using "M1") you can assign a function to the Macro. In Menu #4 select the Macro tab, then scroll down to the Macro you want to edit.
2. There are two ways to enter your Macro - you can record it (press Record then simply press the keys/shortcut you want and you'll see them appear in the window, pressing stop when complete). Alternatively you can select the Code tab and copy+paste the VIA code form the tab below for your preferred shortcut. Click "Save" to assign the function and make it active on your Dash.
