Add a Sound to a Pocket CowCard Worklist

NOTE: Pocket CowCard only plays sounds for worklists that have a sound label or task items that have a WAV sound file. See Known Issues and Other Considerations to learn more.
Question: How do I add a sound to a worklist in DairyComp so that Pocket CowCard plays a sound when I process animals on the list?
Answer: You can add a sound label to a worklist command in DairyComp, so Pocket CowCard plays the selected sound file when you process animals on the list. You should only add sound labels to lists that handle a single task. Note the following guidelines before adding a sound label:
- If a list handles multiple task items, do not add a custom sound file for the list because it will be more beneficial to play sounds for each task item. To learn more about adding a sound to a task item, Contact Us.
- If a list does not have a sound label, Pocket CowCard plays the sounds for each task item.
- If a list and its task items do not have sounds, Pocket CowCard plays the default core sound, AnimalNeeded (e.g. "NEEDED").
Follow the steps below to add a custom sound file for a list:
- In DairyComp, enter SERVER\3 in the command line.
- Open the Pocket CowCard Lists tab to see all of your Pocket CowCard-related commands.
- Double-click the command and select the sound file you want to hear when you run the command.
- If you do not see any applicable sound files, Contact Us to request more sound files. Click OK to save the new sound.
