A badge is made up of various zones that can contain either text or images,

and are grouped into two categories:

- FIXED ZONES: these are the common components of all badges of a particular template

(e.g.: background image, logo)

-VARIABLE ZONES: these are the customized components of each badge and of each

individual (e.g.: last name, ﬁrst name, membership number). These may be obtained

from a database

you must save all ID photos created

in this manner because Ofﬁce Cards

will create a link between your Excel

database and these photos.

1.1. Browse your computer

To insert a photo, go to the ‘Find picture’

menu (see opposite).

This menu opens your File Open window

so you can select the image ﬁle corresponding

to the ID photo.

By default, this ID photo will be saved

in the same folder as your Badge ﬁle.

If you would like to change the storage folder

of these photos, click on ‘Settings’ / ‘Photo’

then ‘Ofﬁce photo folder’: this input ﬁeld lets

you determine the path where the photos

will be stored.

1.2. Snapshot

You can capture these photos using a camera

(webcam, digital camera).

You need to set the parameters for a snapshot:

click on ‘Settings’ and activate the ‘Snapshot’

option.

In the ‘Camera Folder’ ﬁeld you must specify

where these cameras should save the pictures

(see manufacturer’s documentation to ﬁnd

out where this folder is located).

If this input ﬁeld is not ﬁlled in, an error message

will pop up as soon as the ﬁrst picture is taken.

You can also set the path for the snapshot folder

right from this window.
