Designer – Producer Setup

The Producer Setup page allows you to configure how records are displayed and managed within the Producer module. You can customize the Records List columns, define key behaviors, and adjust options based on the specific requirements of your project. This ensures consistent and predictable behavior during badge production.

If you see the message No field is selected in Producer Setup to preview., it means no fields have been selected to display in the Records List. Use the Producer Setup section in Designer to configure the columns correctly.

Centralizing the Producer Setup in Designer ensures consistent behavior across all production stations. This prevents local changes to record lists or badge layouts and simplifies management in multi station or networked environments.

Producer Configuration

• ID Starting Number Set the initial value for automatic numbering. The default value is 10000 and it cannot be changed after the first record is created.
• ID Number Label Define the label used for the primary identifier. The default label is ID but it can be renamed, for example Employee ID.
• ID Number Value Choose between automatic or manual assignment. When using manual entry, the value must be numeric and unique.
• ID Number Visibility Enable or disable the ID column in the Records List.
• Force MS Arial Unicode Font Enable this option for languages that require extended character support such as Asian, Arabic, or Hebrew languages. Unicode fonts support regular and bold styles only.
• Delete Records Method Select how records are removed
  1. Trash then Delete Records Records are placed in Trash and can be recovered until permanently deleted by an Administrator.
  2. Erase Records Instantly Records are permanently removed immediately.

  WARNING Permanently deleting a record removes all related data including the record, Photo ID, and Signature. The activity log is not affected. Deleted records cannot be recovered.

• Rotate Back 180 Degrees Rotate the back design for proper alignment when using double side printing, if required.

Producer Records List Configuration
