Create audio buttons
To create audio buttons, there are two methods available: automatic and manual. The differences
between these methods are as follows:
Automatic
 Audio buttons are created by linking a container page to a supported display’s audio file library,
which automatically creates a button for each file in that library.
 Buttons are created according to the default properties of the container, however after a button is
added, its individual properties can be managed as needed.
 As files are subsequently added to or removed from the library, the container buttons will be
updated accordingly.
 Buttons cannot be manually added to a linked container.
Manual
 The user creates audio buttons individually.
 Buttons can be created that play one or more files from one or more of a display’s libraries.
 The user gets complete control over what and how buttons are created.
Automatic method: linking a container to a library
An audio container can only be linked to a file library when the container is empty. The best time to do
this is when creating a new audio container.
