What are Card Templates?​

Card Templates are reusable configurations that define how physical Credential cards are produced. Instead of configuring settings for each card individually, you can create a template once with all your preferred settings—including card layouts, encoding settings, approval workflows, and production configurations—then apply it to multiple Credentials.

Key Benefits:

  • Consistency: Ensure all cards follow the same design and configuration standards
  • Efficiency: Set up complex settings once and reuse them across multiple cards
  • Time Savings: Reduce manual configuration work when creating new Credentials
  • Standardization: Maintain consistent settings across departments, locations, or use cases

Key Features​

Card Templates include configuration for:

  • Production Elements: Card layouts (front and back), carrier selection, field settings, and general production settings
  • Encoding and Ranges: RFID encoding configuration and number range assignments
  • Approvals: Approval workflow settings and Duo ID approval routing
  • Information: Template metadata, descriptions, and instructions
  • Access Control: Access right configurations for card-based access control
  • Advanced: Additional advanced configuration options
