Selecting the Card Template

The next dialog to appear displays all the .ctm files present in the default directory.  If the template that you wish to use appears in the dialog, simply click OK.  If no .ctm files appear or the file you wish to use is located elsewhere, click Browse to look on your system for the one of your choice.  The software will display the message, “No matching files found” and will not allow you to click OK until a directory with a .ctm in it is selected.  When a one or more .ctm’s are found, the “No matching files found” message will change to “Found X matching file(s)” and the OK button will become available.  When you have selected the directory of your choice, click OK to close the “Browse for Folder” dialog and then click OK in the “Select Badge Temple Directory” dialog to continue.

Note: If you do not have any .ctm’s on your system, the OK button will not be available and database creation cannot continue.  In this event, cancel out of the database creation and create a .ctm template file.  For more information on this, see Designing Your First Badge Template in the Guided Tour chapter.
