Use the Badges page of the System Configuration window to display the settings for badge-related features in ICPAM.
The following table describes the Badges settings.
Field or Option |
Description |
---|---|
Allow printing of unsaved badges |
Allows printing new badges before the badge is saved. For highest security, leave this unchecked. When allowed (which may be more convenient), it is possible to print a badge without having any record of the badge. |
Set 'today' as the default effective date |
Uses the current date as a new badge effective date. |
Use single-screen badge wizard |
Enables a single-screen badge wizard for data entry. Most badge properties are on one screen. |
Show return temporary badge in badge module |
Displays return badge field in the badge module window if the field is checked. |
Use PIN |
A PIN associated with the badge. Depending on the configuration of an access point, the pin is entered into the keypad on the access point's reader. |
Require PIN to be unique |
Requires cardholder PINs to be unique. Useful in systems that use PIN-only access-control. |
Allow null PIN |
Allows badges to have null PINs. Useful in systems that do not use PIN for access-control. |
Allow card # to be changed after creation |
Also known as a badge. A type of credential encoded with a card number, generally on a magnetic stripe or a proximity card, and used to enter access points. |
Require numeric hot stamp |
Requires hot stamp field to be numeric. |
Disallow leading zeros in hot stamp |
Prohibits users from adding hot stamps with leading zeros. |
Use effective times for badges |
Select this check box to enable the effective time constraint for badges, in addition to effective date, which is always enabled. |
Use expiration times for badges |
Select this check box to enable the expiration time constraint for badges, in addition to effective date, which is always enabled. |
Use custom fields on badge wizard |
Enables custom fields in the badge wizard. This makes the screen larger, but is useful if important data is being stored in the custom fields. |
Max PIN Length |
The maximum number of characters in a PIN. |
Use issue code |
Displays the issue code field in the single screen badge wizard if the field is checked. |
Use facility code |
A segment of bits encoded on a card that represents a number for a facility. Often all cards issued for a single facility have the same facility code. |
Use anti-passback |
Enables the badge holder to be anti-passback exempt during the next reader use. After enabling this option “Grant one free APB button” is displayed in the badges. |
Use anti-passback exemption |
Enables the badge to be exempt from anti-passback enforcement if the access point is configured for anti-passback. After enabling this option “exempt from anti-passback” is displayed in the badges. |
Note Changes to system configuration settings do not take effect until you log out (select Logout from Options menu) and log back into the ICPAM application.
