This section will describe the general use and operation of the UPDD applications.
=UPDD Commander=
UPDD Commander can setup touch behavior definitions in all applications.

==Setup Touch Behaviors for All Applications==
The touch function options are based on the Mac trackpad. The Touch function relates to the processing of the touch events (tap, press, gestures, etc.) performed on the touch device. A common list of touch events and system actions are predefined and can be configured as suits.

==Setup Touch Behaviors for Specific Applications==
If the touch behaviors under '''All Applications''' are not enough for your use case, you can customize touch behaviors for specific applications. To activate, ensure UPDD Commander is open and go to: '''View''' > '''Show Hidden Application Groups'''.

:'''NOTE:''' It is recommended to set behaviors for '''All Applications''' only.
