Cards definition

Cards are defined by the following properties: card number, card user name, card type, access level and status (valid, invalid, pending, lost/stolen or expired). If you have enabled the Use card multiple format option in the Card format dialog (see Defining a Card Display Format ), you will be able to change the card format for each card individually from the Card dialog. This option allows more flexibility in assigning multiple cards to the user or in assigning user cards for sites equipped with different reader technologies. In other words, when creating a new card for a user, the operator will be able to select a card format directly in the Card dialog, according to the reader type used in the area where the user will be accessing the building. If you have enabled the Enhanced user management feature in the System parameters dialog (see Credentials Parameters, card definition will be slightly different. In this type of environment, EntraPass allows for the creation of a user card with no number assigned to it. In both cases, cards will be defined by: card user name, card type, card access level and status (valid, invalid, pending, lost/stolen). Card records can be searched, sorted and deleted.

An activity report icon on the toolbar becomes available when you select a card. Use this icon to generate a quick report based on time parameters. The report contains the following information on the user's card: date and time, event message, card number, and many description columns. For more information on the report options, see Previewing Reports.
