16 - USER’S GUIDE
To select the card type:
1. In the Users Tab, Credentials line, place the cursor next to (Collection) and select the
ellipsis button. The User Credentials Setup dialog box opens. The credential types are
listed on the left and the categories available for each type are listed on the right.
2. Select the type of credential the reader will use, for example, magnetic stripe card (Mag
Card). The credential options in the categories on the right will change, depending on the
type selected. Now you are ready to register the credential.
NOTE: If the credential type you need is not in the list of card types on the left, you can add one.
See Adding a Credential Type later in this section.
Credential De-Activation
You can define whether a user’s credentials can be automatically de-activated. This is useful, for
example, when entering credentials for a temporary employee or contractor. If the credential can be
de-activated, select True from the drop-down list next to the field, and then enter the de-
activation date in the De-Activation Date field. If the credential cannot be de-activated, select
False from the drop-down list. The default de-activation date is 200 years to ensure a user’s
credential is not inadvertently de-activated.
Registering the Credential
When you select a credential type, the Specify the Credential Number dialog box opens. From
here, you can enter the credential number manually, scan the user’s card with a scanning device
connected to your computer, or specify a reader where the user will scan their card. Steps to
register each type of card are presented in the next few sections.
NOTE: If you use the reader scan method, the card used must be unassigned.
You can have any one of the other types, or none.
