The ID badge software can store any number of badge databases. Each database can contain up to 10 (or optionally an unlimited number) fields of data, any number of photographs and optionally one signature for display on each badge. Each database can contain as many badges as will fit in the available hard disk storage space.
The design of the database includes selecting the format for the database file (Paradox, dBase, etc.) as well as the names and data types for the data fields. Database design also involves the selection of one or more badge templates to determine the appearance of the badges.
