Add a card

In the Cards Management interface displayed, the cards already registered are listed.

The button Add a card allows you to manually add a card in the database. There's also a self-registration association method, where users can associate their own card. For more information, please refer to the corresponding WES documentation

 

To add a guest:

1. click on Add a card button:
   
   
   

    

• If the card's owner is someone known by the Active Directory or any other user directory declared in Watchdoc, choose the Add new user tab

• If the card's owner is a guest, choose Add a new guest tab.

→ A dialog box appears.

2. select the Add new user tab of the dialogue that appears;

3. fill out the fields:
   
   
   
   

• Code read (mandatory): this is the card's code, read by the reader. If the reader is plugged into your computer, select the field to place the cursor in it, then swipe the card, it will fill the value.

Warning : there may be differences between the code read, sent by the MFP to Watchdoc and the code read directly from the card reader plugged in your computer. You need to validate that both match beforehand, for example with a self-registration.

• User's login (mandatory): login of the card owner.
  

• Code on the card: if the card has an id printed on it, you can specify it here. This can help, for example, to identify the owner of a lost card, or to manage a stock of cards.

• Analytic codeal: this works as the analytical code attribute of Watchdoc's LDAP user directory. If a value is found on both of them, the card's analytical code takes precedence.

• Set an expiration date: you can specify a validity period. Once expired, the card won't be able to log in the user anymore.
  

   

4. click on the Validate button to save the data;

5. refresh the page to check the new card has been registered in the cards
   database;
   
   

    

You can also add several cards in mass (cf. Cards mass import procedure).
