Sounds in Amlib
Sounds within Amlib
Certain events within the Circulation module of Amlib will play .wav format sounds. These sounds are defined in the Sound Table of the Supervisor module.
WARNING |
The sounds may be activated or de-activated by editing the Y / N value in the first column. They should never be deleted. |
Installation parameter for the sound path
Sound files should be held in a shared folder that is available to all users – sounds stored on a local computer will only be available on that particular computer.
- In Amlib navigate to Main > Supervisor > Installation – the Installation (DEFAULT) screen will open
- Select Installation > Choose Location
- Highlight a circulation location and select OK
- Select the Other tab and locate the setting ‘Location’s Sound Directory’
- This is the current full filename path for your .wav files and generally your new sounds should be saved here and then no changes to the setting are required. As outlined above this should be a shared drive that all PCs can access, otherwise any new sounds need to be copied to every PC
- This Sound Directory full filename path needs to be set for every circulation location if any changes are ever made to it
Changing a sound
- Place your new short .wav files into the Sounds directory folder as above
- In Amlib navigate to Main > Supervisor > Sound Table
- To change a sound simply alter the file name of the relevant event to the new sound name
For example – If you have created a .wav file called banned.wav and wish this to be applied every time a banned borrower has their barcode scanned during issuing, edit File Name in the line:
CIRC/ISSUES IF BORROWER HAS BEEN BANNED. - Log out of Amlib and back in on all PCs
Turning a sound off
To deactivate a sound, change the Activated column’s value to a N. Do not delete any lines from this table as this will permanently disable the sound and could cause conflicts in future upgrades.
