How to add LOGIC to classic PVC physical passes

Overview

Clients using our free software plan can add logic to classic PVC physical passes.  For example, you may assign Adult passes to adults, Teen passes to teenagers, and Child passes to children.    

Creating Logic

First, go to the pass designer.  CLICK HERE to learn how to get to this feature.  Scroll down to the Physical Card section.

1) Click the + icon in the PRIMARY FIELD if a field is not present
2) Click ADD LOGIC to begin making logic

Then, you want to think about how you are designing the logic.  In the example we will create, we want Guest Passes (members with Guest as the Relation) to be green, children under 12 to be orange, and all other passes are blue.  

3) Date Type asks what data the logic is based on.  For the first logic, our example uses Relation.
4) This Operator will be "=" to ask for an exact match.
5) The text will be "Guest" for this example. (Logic is case sensitive, so be sure to match the upper or lower case you use in the database.) 
6) Primary Field Text will be the text that is displayed when this logic is true
7) Background will be the color behind the text when this logic is true
8) The OTHERWISE section is what will be displayed when the logic is false
9) If you only have one layer of logic, enter your desired text and color now
10) Use the Preview feature to test the logic you create
11) For this example, we will add a second layer, so will click ADD LOGIC again
12) Use the Trash icon to delete the logic if needed


Next, we will add a layer of age-based logic.  Clicking ADD LOGIC again will add an ELSE layer, similar to the first layer of logic.  
13) Age will be used as the Date Type
14) Less than, <, will be our Operator for children under a certain age. 
15) Enter the age value in Numeric Age (the software will calculate age based on birthdate) 
16) Enter text and choose colors again
17) Again, test the logic with the pass preview
18) Add another layer if desired.  For example, another age-based logic can be added for teenager passes.  


Can clients using the paid check-in software add logic?
Yes.  But remember, your passes are designed to be used for multiple years.  The check-in software will apply the logic when a member checks in.  Your gate attendants get the information they need to enforce your pass policy.  

Can logic be added to ePasses?
No.  ePasses are designed to expire and update as the member information updates.
