About ID card templates
The first step to printing ID cards is setting up templates for what will be printed. Templates can be created for employees and/or contractors, and you can set up as many different templates as required.
There are several templates to choose from as a base, you can customize what fields are included, and information is automatically generated for individual ID cards.
Each template is linked to a token type. There are four default token types in your account, you can add additional types if needed:
- Access Control
- Driver’s License
- ID Card
- Proof of Age

- Select ID Card Token Templates from the left-hand menu.

- Click Save & Close.
Repeat for as many templates as required.
ID card fields
The options available for your ID cards depend on the base template chosen. Turning on one option may turn off another, e.g. turning on the QR code will turn off the barcode.
You can turn on as many of the following options as required, depending on your chosen template:
- Logo - to upload a logo, click the Upload Logo square and select your logo from your computer. The maximum dimensions are 6000px wide x 6000px high.
- Background - to upload a background, click the Upload Background square and select your image from your computer. The maximum dimensions are 6000px wide x 6000px high.
- Person’s Name - this will insert the person’s full name as listed in their profile.
- Person’s First Name - this will insert the person’s first name as listed in their profile. Enabling the first name will disable the full name and vice versa.
- Person's Job Title - this will insert the person’s job title as listed in their profile.
- Person’s Photo - the photo stored in the person’s profile.
- Name of their Organization - for employees, this is your account name. For contractors, this is their organization.
- Token ID Number - the token number in their profile.
- Date Token Issued - as listed for the token in their profile.
- Date Token Expires - as listed for the token in their profile. Once expired, they won’t be able to sign in with this token, but they can still sign in manually.
- Barcode - a Code 39 format barcode representing the token number. If you have long token numbers, we advise using a QR code instead of a barcode.
- QR Code - a 2D QR code representing the token number. This requires a 2D scanner or kiosk camera to scan. Enabling the QR code will disable the barcode and vice versa.
- Tag Name - a customizable string that is included on every token and does not change.
- Default Tag Name - enter the string you want to appear if the above is enabled.
