The ScoutPal "Seek" result screen format and content is completely customizable, and the user interface is "open-source", meaning that any enhancements designed by other users are always available to all users! Visit the [Template Center] to learn how to customize your ScoutPalDB. You can use templates from the ScoutPalDB template library, or design your own template. Templates can do things like format the display results according to "criteria" that you formulate using standard html scripting tools, like JavaScript. JavaScript can be written to alert you when a criteria is met. For example, you can have a template that boldfaces the "used" price if it is greater than $10 and the sales rank is better than 250,000, or the template can play an "alert" wav file, or popup an "alert" dialog. The feature possibilities are endless with ScoutPalDB!
Using the Settings screen, you can set the display font size, and set ScoutPalDB to automatically "Seek" as soon as you tap in a valid 10-digit ISBN. (Scanners should be configured in their driver's settings to have an "enter" suffix so each scan will automatically trigger the Seek.) If your PDA has wireless connectivity (Cellular data service, WiFi, bluetooth connection to a cell phone, etc., or if you have a Pocket PC/phone like a Treo 700w), simply enter your ScoutPal ID and password, and you can then optionally tap a "Fetch" button and get full ScoutPal real-time wireless lookup results, including Buyer Waiting, Edition Info, abebooks.com/pricegrabber lookups, and "drill-down" for 3rd party offering details.
