Field Definitions

Here you can specify all fields that you want to use on your badge. These fields will be reflected everywhere in IDpack Producer when you load the Badge Layout. Every Badge Layout has it own Field Definitions, but you can import a Badge Setup from another badge by using Import Badge Setup. For more information on importing a badge setup, please refer to the Badge Setup section.  You can store up to 14 fields for every badge.

You can see ten columns on the screen:

 

Description

The name of the field that will be displayed in IDpack.

 

# Number

The number that will be used in the Microsoft Access Database column name, idp_desc#. For more information, please refer to the IDpack database structure section.

 

Printed Prefix

Add the specified text in front of the information from the database (if required).

 

Example 1:

Enter two fields, First Name and Last Name in the Description column and leave the associated Printed column blank.

 

Result on the printed badge:

John Doe

 

Example 2:

Enter one field, City in the Field Description column and enter the word City: again in the associated Printed Prefix column.

 

Result on the printed badge:

City: Springfield

 

Field Type

Define the type of data saved in the field. If you are using an Access database, you must open the MDB file and change the Data Type of the field in the table manually. For Date/Time search, make sure that you modify the Data Type to Date/Time in IDpack Designer and in Microsoft Access.

 

Field Size

Specify the maximum number of characters you can enter in a field.

 

Visible

IDpack only allows 14 visible fields within producer. You can still have more than 14 fields in your database. Just check the field that

you need to be visible within IDpack Producer.
