Chapter 3. Getting Started
This chapter explains how to handle a document, model or template, how to
create or open an existing file and also how to recover a backup file.
Document - Contains all data related to your work, including the chosen model
or template, all objects, database connections, properties, and encoding
properties. In summary, all the properties involved in your card document
creation.
Model - Contains all the features and shape of your physical card. These
features are size and card type, if it is a basic card, contactless, magnetic or
smartcard. Please notice that the card settings depends on your chosen or
created model type. For instance, you can't access the chip encoding settings if
you've chosen or created a card without SmartCard capabilities..
Template - Is no more then a pre-made document layout used to create a new
document with a similar design, pattern, or style. This means that you can use
an existing template as it is or you can change it as you wish, creating a new
document or template from the opened template.
Backup - Bodno automatically generates a backup file of your document every
time it's saved. This backup is created in a pre-defined folder ('\My
Cards\Backups') with the document name and date/time creation..
This document can be recovered any time you need.
Example: documentname(yyyymmddThhmmss).cardBackup
