Badge Form

A badge identifies a person to SP. This is usually a card with an embedded number that uniquely identifies the card. However, the badge does not have to be a card; it could be a unique number that is entered into a keypad reader. The Badge Form is used to define a badge by entering specific information, such as the badge number and the person to whom this badge is assigned. Click Add to add a new record or click Search to display a list of previously created badge records to review or modify.

For a shortcut menu to related forms, move the mouse pointer below the tab and click the right mouse button.

Description:

Enter a unique description of the badge, person name, or badge type. This is a required field and this record will not save without an entry in this dialog box. If you attempt to save a record without a description, a dialog box displays, asking if you want to use the badge identification number as the Description. Click Yes to use the badge identification number or return to the form and enter a Description of your choice. (If you are entering badge records before person assignment, consider entering a badge identification number as the Description.) This dialog box accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

If this is a converted database from an earlier version of Secure Perfect that allowed blank Description fields, the badge identification number now displays in the Description field of those records.

Facility:

The facility assignment is a read-only field. Facilities are assigned by the operator when creating a Person record.
