Below is the picture how to assign your custom field to a text placeholder when creating new card design. All accessible custom fields are displayed and you can just click them to add. You can also put more custom fields into one placeholder, even in combination with standard text. We are aware that Custom fields problamatic is complex and the short text above doesn’t cover it completely. In case you have some specific questions about custom fields and how to use them, feel free to ask us using our Service Desk (support@gtsalivesupport@aliveplatform.com)

Using the information from this excel file, you can print labels for your cards. This process includes connecting the excel file with a text editor like MS Word and creating the design of your labels there. The process of connecting MS Excel to MS Word will not be described in this tutorial, help can be found on the web. When the labels are printed, you have to tell NCDB that the print was succesfully done. This can be done through importing the modified excel “Unprocessed Entries Export” that you downloaded in previous step. Into this excel file, to the “Process result” column, write “OK” (see the picture). This way, the system will know that labels for these cards were already printed. After saving this file, import it back to NCDB (still logged in as Personalization Center user) using the “Import processed” button. At this moment, the cards that you marked with “OK” should disappear from Batch Card Printing completely and they should appear in NCDB among other issued cards.
