Incardex software:
Multiple ID card templates connected to the same database

 

Lesson #2. How to connect multiple ID card templates to the same database.

ID card software - Incardex - is designed for ID card management and printing.

There are situations when it is necessary to use different ID card templates to print ID cards from the same database. For example, the different ID card templates may be used to print ID cards for different groups of people employed in the same company (Administration, Workers, Security, etc.)

In order to create different ID card templates connected to the same database it is required to perform the following operations:

Run Incardex Designer module of Incardex software.

Create an ID card template which will be used as DEFAULT.

Create additional ID card templates. Each new template shall be connected to the same database. Save all created templates.

Open the ID card template created as DEFAULT. Go to menu Database / Templates setup…

The list of the templates by default contains the DEFAULT layout. The DEFAULT template can be renamed if necessary.

Run Incardex Producer module and open DEFAULT template. The database will be loaded.

Check that the database field created in Incardex Designer to store ID card templates list (Layouts in our example) contains the drop-down list of templates.
