Using the ID Works Production Application 33
ID Works Standard and Enterprise Version 5 Operator’s Guide
Verifying Identity
If your project is connected to a biometric device and the binary field
has data, you will probably be asked to verify a cardholder against the
stored biometric data. See the documentation that came with your
biometrice device for verification procedures. If you need to recapture
biometric data, with the pointer over the binary field right-click and
select Capture from the menu.
Mandatory Fields
There may be some fields on your Production Form that require you
to supply information. Project designers often indicate which fields
are mandatory with bold prompts, differently-colored prompts, or an
asterisk or other symbol in the prompt. If you try to print a card or
save the record without completing a mandatory field, a message box
appears. When you click OK to clear the message, the pointer
appears in the mandatory field so you can complete it.
Read-only Fields
There may be some fields on your Production Form that contain
information you cannot change, such as a person’s birth date or the
number of times a card has been printed for that person. Those fields
are there for your information only. The pointer will not move to them
when you tab through the form and you cannot click in them to place
the pointer there. Read-only fields will, however, appear in Quick
Search windows if the ID Works project designer specified that they
should. See chapter 4, Searching the Data Source.
Previewing Cards
If your ID Works project includes a card design (and almost all of
them do) you can see how the card will look as you are entering
information in the Production window.
To see a preview of the card that will be printed, from the menu bar
select View and then Card preview – front or Card preview – back.
A Card Preview opens. (You can see previews of both sides of the
card by selecting each card preview menu command in turn.)
