Hi, is it possible to have a “beep” or other auditory signal when a screen changes?
I assume you mean navigating to another screen through an action? If it’s through a user-triggered action, you can add a Play Sound action to the workflow.
Hi ThinhDInh,
Thanks for the quick response but no, it’s not on the users screen. This is a distributed system with order taking in the front of house but delivered to tablets in the kitchen. When a new order arrives on the kitchen screen I would like an auditory signal to alert the chefs.
Actually, that’s not exactly what I want. I want the auditory signal to occur only when a new ADDITION is added to a screen. Once the dish is prepared the chef presses a ready button which deletes the record and notifies the front of house (visually). No need to have an auditory signal when the record or information is deleted from the kitchen screen. Hmmm, even though that looks like a simple thing to do maybe it is too complicated.
Understood. So what you want is a beep sound when there is a new order?
Right now in Glide, sounds can only be played as part of an action that happens on that specific device. Since the new order is created from the front-of-house device, the kitchen tablet doesn’t receive any “event” it can react to, so it can’t automatically play a sound when a new row appears.
You could probably try a Custom AI component that monitors a specific column value and when the value changes in a certain way, have it make a sound and maybe reset the value. I think something like that should work without requiring user interaction to make the sound.
