Sound Action

A sound file can be assigned to an action by creating a sound action. The Desktop Actions application must be running for the Sound action to work. For more information, see About the Task Tray and Desktop Actions applications.

Configure the following:

• Name. Enter a unique name for the action. This name displays in the Action Library.
• Description. (Optional) Enter additional information about the action. This description displays next to the action in the Action Library.
• Sound file name. Enter the full path to the sound file. The sound file name is located on the server where WhatsUp Gold is running.
• Continuous play. Select this option to have the sound play continuously until the Cancel Sound button is clicked on the main WhatsUp Gold toolbar.

Tip: To check the status of an action, or to cancel an action, in the WhatsUp Gold console go to Tools > Running Actions.
