==Running on the TouchPad==
Shopping Manager runs fullscreen on the TouchPad. Differences to the phone version:
* some screens have an additional left arrow on the bottom to go back
* screens where you can search by just typing have a magnifier at the bottom to show the virtual keyboard
Other than that, Shopping Manager works on the TouchPad the same way as on the phones.

If you tap on the checkbox of an item in '''All''' mode, it will be reset back to '''default'''.

On the right, there is a '''i''' symbol. Tapping on that opens the item menu. There you can go to the Edit Item View (see below), quickly set a quantity between 0 and 9 or a custom quantity (which opens a dialog for entering), copy or move an item and comparing the item in the '''Best Buy''' tool. Setting a quantity of 0  automatically switches the item to '''default'''. Setting a quantity of greater than 0, switches the item to '''needed'''.

In the first line, you can see the name of the item and the needed quantity (if the item is needed). In the second line, you can see the priority and the category and shop the item belongs to, the aisle (in []) and if you have a coupon. The third line displays the price for the item and the unit. It also displays the unit price, if you have entered a unit with a size different from one (for example "0.7 l" or "500 g"). If the item is needed, you can see the total price (price multiplied by quantity) on the right side. If you see a red arrow up to the left of the item price, then the item is cheaper in another shop. The last line (or lines) display notes for that item, if there are any. All lines (or part of lines) besides the first one can be switched off in the Preferences View (see below).

If you are filtering by '''All''' shops, you will always see the name, price and aisle of the cheapest shop. If you are filtering by a specific shop, you will see a red arrow up (<span style="color:red">&uarr;</span>) to the left of the item price, if the item is cheaper in another shop.

==Planned purchase/Reminders==
If you enable '''Planned purchase''' in the Edit Item View, you can set a date and time, when you want to be reminded to purchase that item.
At the set point in time, you will get a Dashboard Notification with a small Shopping Manager icon at the bottom of the screen, the phone will vibrate and the LED below the screen will flash (if the screen is off at that moment). This works with Shopping Manager running or not.
[[Image:shoppingmanager_dashboard1_en_240.png]]
Tap on the notification to open the Dashboard. You will see the Shopping Manager icon on the left and information about the database and the item on the right. Tapping anywhere will open Shopping Manager and the corresponding database.
[[Image:shoppingmanager_dashboard2_en_240.png]]
If there are multiple notifications, you will see the number of notifications on the left and tapping on the Shopping Manager icon will cycle through the notifications. Tapping on the info text will open Shopping Manager and the corresponding database. The Dashboard Notification will display for each database only the newest reminder.
[[Image:shoppingmanager_dashboard3_en_240.png]]
Whenever you start Shopping Manager (with the Launcher icon or by tapping on the Dashboard) or switch to a database, it will always mark all planned items (date is before current date) as needed.
Planned purchase will be reset for all checked items during checkout.
==Just Type integration==
If you have a device with webOS 2.0 or greater, you can integrate Shopping Manager with '''Just Type'''. To do this, you have to go to the '''Just Type Preferences''' on your webOS device. Just type anything in the main menu (launcher) of your device, scroll down and tap on '''Preferences'''.
Then, under '''Launch & Search''', tap on '''Add More Searches'''. Tap on '''Shopping Manager''' under '''App Search Engines'''. That's it.
Now, when you type in some text in the webOS launcher, you will be offered to start '''Shopping Manager''' under '''Launch & Search'''. Shopping Manager will start and immediately search for the text you typed in.
