Card Field Definitions
Functional Field
Name Protocol Field
Name
Type of Value Description
Access Group 1
through Access
Group 8 ACCGRP 1 to
ACCGRP 8 Numeric This field is NOT recommended as a field filter. These
fields hold the numeric ID of an Access Group assigned
to a cardholder. The numbers are stored in the order in
which they are assigned to the Cardholder. (ACCGRP1
holds the ID of the first Access Group assigned to a card
holder. ACCGRP2 holds the second Access Group
Assigned to a card holder. etc.) These fields are not
recommended for use as filters because access groups
are not usually assigned to cardholders in a consistent
way. ACCGRP1 could contain any or all Access Group
IDs. Thus filtering by ACCGRP1 would be meaningless.
For example: If the Building 1 Access Group was
assigned to half of the cardholders as the first Access
Group (ACCGRP1) and it was assigned to the other half
of the cardholders as the second Access Group
(ACCGRP2), using ACCGRP1 as a filter would only
return half of the cardholders who have Building 1
assigned to them.
Anti-Passback
Index APBINDEX Numeric The anti-passback index is a unique number assigned to
each card holder. It defines the location within the anti-
passback table that records the current location of that
cardholder. This field is of little value as a filter since it
does not tell the current location of the cardholder, but
only the location in the system where that information is
currently stored.
Card Activation
Date ACT DATE Numeric
Delineated with
slash marks. YYYYMMDD
This field defines the date a card is to automatically
become activated. Access is denied before this date.
‘YYYY’ represents the four digits of the year. Examples:
1995 or 2004.
‘MM’ is a two-digit number representing the year (01
through 12).
‘DD’ is a two-digit number representing the day of the
month (01 through 31).
The system defaults at the date the card is assigned.
Card Number CARD# Customized
Numeric A unique decimal number from 000000000-999999999.
This is a significant field, and is the actual number
encoded on the access card along with the Company and
Facility Codes.
Each cardholder must be assigned a unique card number
which is nine digits long. If assigned number is less than
nine digits, use leading zeros (0) to complete the nine
digit format.
The format of this field is compcode-facilitycode-
cardnumber
Example: 1234-1234-1234567890.
