How can I change the maximum badge number length?

Question

How can I change the maximum badge number length? 

Answer

The default badge number length is 9.  To change this length, in System Administration, navigate to Administration > System Options > Hardware Settings Tab.  Edit the Maximum Badge Number Length field from 9 to the desired length.

If the system is segmented:  In system Administration, navigate to Segments > Segment Tab > Select Segment > Hardware Settings Tab.

A message explain that a FULL ACCESS PANEL DOWNLOAD must be performed.

Another message will explain that in order for the changes to take effect you must re-initialize all ILS Locks using the portable programmer.

Note:  System Administration will accept a maximum badge length of 18.  If a number greater than 15 is entered, a message will be returned:  "Warning Crystal Reports supports numeric lengths of up to 15 digits.  Any badge numbers greater than 15 digits will not be properly displayed in Reports."
