CARDNAME Field
The CARDNAME field is an exception to field names matching the descriptor file. Often
the data for this field are contained in three fields for the last name, first name, and middle
initial of the cardholder. Rather than having to manually combine these three fields to
allow the file to be imported, the host system creates the single field out of the three
fields. To do this, the field names must be: LNAME, FNAME, MNAME corresponding to
the last, first and middle names. They must be in the order LNAME,FNAME,MNAME. The
host system inserts a comma between the LNAME and FNAME fields and a blank
between the FNAME and MNAME fields. If the import file contains the
LNAME,FNAME,MNAME field, do NOT have CARDNAME as a field in the file.
Adding Access Groups
All Access Groups to be imported as part of any record in the import file, must be
configured in the host system before the import.
Figure 1. Sample Sapphire Pro Access Group page
Create each Access group as described in the host system User Manual making certain
to place a check mark in the Receive from Card Import check box. This allows
cardholders that are imported to be added into these groups. Make a note of the Access
Group ID so that it can be used as the Field Value in the comma delimited file. Any
Access Group that is not configured is not added and cardholders who have that Access
Group may not have the expected access.
Use this number to
add Access Groups.
