How to Create an ID Card Database in AlphaCard Standard
AlphaCard is an intuitive ID card software loaded with user-friendly tools that allow you to design photo IDs and manage your ID card program. One of those tools is a configurable database that stores your card designs and cardholder records so you can access them on demand. A unified interface makes it easy to configure your database, handle records, and print documents.
When working with your database, there are two main views: Single Record View and Spreadsheet View. In Single Record View, you'll be working with one record at a time, while Spreadsheet View enables you to print or delete multiple records at once.
