Cardholder Custom Fields

Cardholder Custom Fields

1.0 Introduction

Cardholder custom fields can be used to add custom information to cardholder records. For example; you can add company information such as department or company ID or additional personal contact information.

The following steps explain how to add a new company details category, creating a field for the company department and then entering a specific company department to a cardholder.

Note: If cardholder custom fields are defined and assigned to cardholders in Doors.NET these will be imported as part of a Doors.NET to Borealis conversion.
