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 Setup

• ID Number Information – Displays the total number of records in the project and the current ID number.
• ID Number Display Name – 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 Visible – Show or hide the ID Number column in Producer.
• Delete Records Method – Choose how deleted records are handled.
  1. Trash/Delete Records – Records are moved to Trash first and can be recovered until permanently deleted by an Administrator.
  2. Delete 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.

• Sort Records (Primary) – Select the first field used to sort the Records List. Records can be sorted in ascending or descending order.
• Sort Records (Secondary) – Select an optional second field used to sort records with matching primary values. Records can be sorted in ascending or descending order.

Producer Records List Configuration

• Columns Select up to eight columns to display in the Records List. Use the Empty option to hide unused columns.
• Sort Define primary and secondary sort order for the Records List. Fields can be sorted alphabetically or by date. Use the Descending option to reverse the order.

Preview Badge
