The card type information tab under Formats and Statistics gives a total system overview of the
number of cards and records in the system.
Details are provided per card format/facility code on:
Total Cardholders in the database
Total active cards
Total lost cards
Total stolen cards
Total suspended cards
Total destroyed cards
Total inactive cards
Total records of card 0 (cardholder details with no card issued)
Facility Code
Is a number allocated to a specific customer to avoid that card 1 would have access also on
another system which uses card 1. A 26 bit format is not recommended since it allows only 256
different facility codes worldwide.
