ID Card Settings

Configure the design and content of ID cards for students and staff separately. Each ID card type has its own settings for colors, layout orientation, profile image style, background image, field selection, page dimensions, and signature. These settings are used when generating ID cards from the Student ID Card and Staff ID Card pages.

Configure before generating

Set up ID card settings before generating any ID cards. Changes made here apply to all future ID card generations.
