Binding template data properties to database properties
Data that appear on a badge need to be associated with individual database fields. The process of binding these data establishes
these associations.
Perform the following steps:
- Double-click on the newly added template.The Template view opens, this time with three tabs: Template Data, Tenants, and Badges.
- Click the Discover button (
).The Discovered pane shows the properties you set up previously using the Asure ID software. - Select the property row and click the Add button (
).
- Accept the default binding or change the Data Binding using the two options lists, and click Ok.NOTE: You must bind each property individually, but you only need to do this once.
The first option list provides the set of options for the second option list. So, for example, to bind a person’s department you would select
Personin the first property. ThePersonoption includesDepartment(and other options) in the second property. Then you can selectDepartmentin the second option list.When you add the Photo property, Image Ratio and Image Format properties appear in the Add window. You can specify these parameters, as needed.
- Configure the binding, enter the aspect ratio (for Photo properties) you used with you created the template and click Ok.When finished, the Template Data database view reflects the new values in its Data Binding column.
