For supervisors

Keep duplicate evidence visible and require explicit review before making a PDF.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Review repeated identities before output

  1. Load a prepared repeated-ID file

    Load a prepared repeated-ID file.

    This file intentionally repeats a bin identity. The importer must preserve that evidence for review.

  2. Map the location column

    Map the location column.

    Match the location column explicitly. Column headings and values remain separate; leading zeroes stay as text.

  3. Map the description column

    Map the description column.

    Review each mapping instead of assuming the suggested columns are correct.

  4. Map the stores area column

    Map the stores area column.

    Optional printed fields can be included or left unmapped. Unmapped columns are shown as ignored.

  5. Map the part-number column

    Map the part-number column.

    Part numbers remain exact strings. Mapping one does not automatically bind the barcode to it.

  6. Map the copy-count column

    Map the copy-count column.

    Mapped copy counts must be whole numbers from one to one hundred. Review them before applying the file.

  7. Review the delimiter and mapping

    Review the delimiter and mapping.

    Applying the file replaces the current dataset. Download the old project file first if you need it.

  8. Apply the reviewed CSV mapping

    Apply the reviewed CSV mapping.

    The imported records now drive the real card maker. The original rows remain available for comparison in this session.

  9. Acknowledge the intentional repeated identities

    Acknowledge the intentional repeated identities.

    Review repeated identities and exact spaces. Only acknowledge them if they are intentional; otherwise correct or exclude the rows.

  10. Go on to the print profile

    Go on to the print profile.

    The print profile opens once every included card is ready; until then, the button says what to do first. It holds the printer resolution, barcode type and copies.

  11. Check the card and generate the PDF

    Check the card and generate the PDF.

    The real worker checks the text and barcode fit, then makes the PDF. Its preview uses those completed bytes.

  12. Download the checked PDF

    Download the checked PDF.

    The PDF already contains the requested pages and copies. Print it at actual size on the printing computer. Downloading it does not prove a card printed.

Keep exact identifiers and print at actual size. This training does not qualify physical printers or scanners.
