Destiny & Chrome

We’ve received questions about Destiny and Chrome recently. There is no sound in circulation module when using Chrome. One library discovered that barcodes printed in Chrome didn’t work well. You'll find that some databases set up in One Search won't display when using Chrome. Follett recommends using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari.

Circulation sounds

The sounds you hear in Circulation can be changed. There are four default sounds for events or actions in Circulation.

• All is well chimes when an action is successful.
• Attention needed sounds when an action was unexpected - blocked, needs further attention.
• Fine/Overdue alarms that the patron has existing fines or overdue materials.
• Hold/Reserve Ready indicates that there is a ready hold or reserve for this patron.

You can use any .wav or .au sound file that has a maximum length of 2 seconds, but before you start searching or editing, try one of the  20 sounds from Destiny online help. At this time, there are 28 and the names range from AiryPop to WetSpit.
To find them, click on the help button in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Search for ‘sounds’.  Listen to them and decide.  Download and save the sound file to your workstation.  Once you’ve got some saved, follow the steps below.
Navigate to Back Office>Site Configuration and choose the sub tab 'Circulation' You'll see the Circulation Sounds at the bottom of the page.
Click on Change beside the sound and you will access a page where you can upload the one you want.
If you get tired of the new sounds or just want to change things back to the way they were, click on .
