How to Create an ID Card Database in AlphaCard Standard

AlphaCard is an intuitive ID card software loaded with user-friendly tools that allow you to design photo IDs and manage your ID card program. One of those tools is a configurable database that stores your card designs and cardholder records so you can access them on demand. A unified interface makes it easy to configure your database, handle records, and print documents.

When working with your database, there are two main views: Single Record View and Spreadsheet View. In Single Record View, you'll be working with one record at a time, while Spreadsheet View enables you to print or delete multiple records at once.

Within the toolbar, you'll find the following options for setting up your database, and performing a variety of tasks:

File Menu

  • Database Source – configure the database connection
  • Print – print the selected record in Single View, or multiple records in Spreadsheet View
  • Close – click to exit Database Setup
