Multiple Templates and the Changed Flag

When multiple template database badges are being added to or changed, there are two fields at the bottom of the dialog marked Badge Design and Badge Data Changed.  (By the way, all databases created by version 1.90 or later are multiple template databases, even if they only contain one template.)

The Badge Design pull-down can be used to select or change the template number to be associated with this badge.  To make more template styles available in this list they must be added with the Change Database Templates menu selection.  See the Design chapter under Reassigning a Badge Template.

The Badge Data Changed box will check automatically when any data is changed or added or if the template number is changed.  If you want to cancel the flag setting you can do so prior to selecting OK.  The flag is also set when a photograph is taken for a badge.  In a similar manner, if you want to indicate that a badge has changed, even though it has not, you can check this box and select OK.  The Changed flag can be used for selection purposes via the Fast Find or Select functions, and is cleared automatically when a badge is printed.
