As an example, the following procedure enables you to print the word “Contractor” on the
badges for Cardholders who are contractors. To do this, you create a Print If condition of
“TITLE IS EQUAL TO CONTRACTOR”.
Place the mouse pointer over the down arrow in the Database Field of the Print If section.
Click the left mouse button and a pick list appears showing all available fields in the
Database. Scroll through the pick list by placing the mouse pointer over the down arrow
and clicking the left mouse button and holding it down until the legend “TITLE” appears in
the list. Release the left mouse button, and move the mouse pointer over the word “TITLE”,
and click the left mouse button. The pick list disappears, and the word “TITLE” appears in
the Database Field.
Move the mouse pointer to the down arrow by the side of the Condition field and click the
left mouse button. A pick list appears with arrows and a scroll bar at the side. Move the
mouse pointer to the legend “IS EQUAL TO” and click the left mouse button. The pick list
disappears, and the legend “IS EQUAL TO” appears in the Condition field.
Move the mouse pointer to the “Value to Check” field and click the left mouse button. A
cursor appears in the “Value to Check” field. Type the word CONTRACTOR into the field
The Print If command allows you to select whether a “Picked” object shall be printed on a
badge based on the following conditions compared to information contained in the
Cardholder database:
IS EQUAL TO
IS GREATER OR EQUAL TO
IS GREATER THAN
IS LESS OR EQUAL TO
IS LESS THAN
IS NOT EQUAL TO
This is very useful in designing badges that are specific to individual cardholders.
Once you have selected the various items from each of the above sections to define the
details of the “Picked” Text or Database object, you may return to the badge design screen
by placing the mouse pointer over OK at the base of the screen and clicking the left mouse
button.
The “Picked” object now appears on the screen in the format, which you have selected, still
with the “Adjustment Handles” on the rectangle. The Font size may however be unsuitable
and can be adjusted by altering the size of the “Picked” object. To do this, move the mouse
pointer over the bottom right “Adjustment Handle” of the object, press the left mouse button
and move it to the correct size for the text in the object. The Font Size automatically adjust
to fit the new size of the picked object.
