In addition to the standard card formats that are supported in Security
Center, you can
define custom card formats with unique data fields.
You can define custom card formats in
Config
Tool from the General
settings view in the Access control task.
Benefits of custom card formats
Creating custom card formats has the following benefits:
- You can manually enroll a new card using a standard workstation keyboard, whereas a
card with an unknown format can only be enrolled using a card reader.
- You can view the card number in the Config
Tool and the Security
Desk, whereas data
for unknown card formats cannot be displayed.
- You can import cards using custom formats with the Import tool.
- You can enroll cards
automatically, with a card reader, or manually in bulk, without a card
reader, using the Credential management task.
