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

## 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.
