Date Field
Date fields contain a date and, optionally, time, in the format you
specify on the Production Form. You can specify the font and color
attributes of a date field, as well as rotate it. See “Fonts” on page 35.
See the online help topic “Add a date field to a card” for step-by-step
instructions.
Barcode Field
You create barcode fields to print barcodes on your cards. With some
types of barcodes, you can specify density, error checking, and
whether the barcode field uses a checksum algorithm. The kind of
barcode you use in your card design is determined by the barcode

will also explain the rules for determining valid information for the
barcode type you will use.
You select the barcode type on the Advanced tab of the Edit Field
