Designer – Color Code

The Color Code feature in IDpack allows you to categorize cardholders in Producer by assigning colors and descriptions to different groups. This feature is especially useful for managing access levels or identifying roles within an organization, event, or facility.

To configure a color code, click the color box to open the Color Picker. You can select a color visually or enter a Hex Color Code manually, for example FF8000 for orange. Leave the description field empty to exclude that color from the selection list in Producer.

Content

The Color Code feature can be used in several ways:

• Background images that change based on the selected Color Code. This can be configured in the Front Back Design tab.
• Rectangular shapes filled with the background color associated with the Color Code.
• Text descriptions of the Color Code, such as Manager or Volunteer.

Customizing Color Codes

You can define up to 15 color codes, each with an associated description. These color codes can represent security levels, access zones, or other classifications required for your project. For example:

• Manager assigned the color navy blue.
• Volunteer assigned the color green.
• Visitor assigned the color orange.

This setup is particularly useful in environments with multiple zones, roles, or clearance levels, such as events, corporate offices, or large facilities.

Example Use Case

You can simplify a project by using only a small number of color codes, such as VALID and EXPIRED, while leaving the remaining color codes empty. Assign green to VALID and red to EXPIRED. In Producer, when a cardholder access must be revoked, select EXPIRED and save the record. The next time the card is scanned, the status appears as EXPIRED in red.
