Select your most common circulation type.

The sounds you choose will play whenever the

associated event occurs.

On Windows, to select a sound, click Edit. From the

Windows Sounds Properties dialog, locate the

Circulation Desk event you want to change, and then

locate and select the sound you want to use.

If today's date isn't correct, click Change. On Windows, the Date/Time Properties dialog appears automatically. On Mac OS, a message appears telling you to go to the Date &

Time Control Panel. After making your changes, click OK to return to the Misc tab.
Important: Changing the date/time changes the operating system date/time, not just the date/time used by the Follett applications.

On Mac OS, to select a sound, click the popup button.

To test a sound, click Play.

To clear all the Circulation Desk fields automatically

after a period of inactivity, select this option.

To include patron information when extracting data, check

this box. For more information, see Extracting Data" on

page 585.
When this check box is checked, patrons will be associated to

transactions recorded in the statistics records. When this check

box is not checked, there will not be a link between statistic

records and patrons.

When you're finished setting up the rest of the options, choose Save.

Important:

Windows workstations need a sound card for you to set up sounds for

Circulation Desk. If your workstation doesn't have a sound card,

Circulation Desk plays a beep through the computer speaker each

time one of the specific events occurs.

Important:

Changing the Collect Patron Transaction Histories check box will only

affect future statistics records. Statistics currently in the database will

remain the same until you perform Remove Patron History in

Utilities.
