QUICK TIPS
Picture taking for Members and Staff

The Member Tracking System can store pictures for your Members and Staff for use on ID Cards and Quick Entry scanning.

  1. Use a Digital Camera to take your pictures.

  2. Turn the quality settings on your camera to LOW.  The size of each picture should be no larger than 75kb.

  3. Use a white or plain colored background.

  4. Take the pictures very close to the person.  You ONLY want their head and face.

  5. Take about 10 pictures at a time and carry a note pad to list who is number 1, 2, 3 and so on.

  6. Plug the camera into your computer via USB port or take the disk from the camera and put it in the A: drive.

  7. Open your Member Tracking and go to the Members or Staff screen and find the first person on your list.

  8. Click on the Photo tab.

  9. Click on the New button below the stick figure.

  10. In the Choose a Picture window, click on the Look In dropdown and find your camera or floppy disk drive.

  11. Find the first picture and double click on it.

  12. The person's picture will appear in place of the stick figure.

  13. Find the next person on your list and repeat steps 9-12.

  14. After you have selected all of the pictures they can be removed from your camera.

  15. To apply the pictures to your ID Cards - go to the ID Cards screen from Members or Staff and click on the Edit Card Layout button.

  16. Choose Persons Picture from the Object List and click on the Add Object to Layout button.

  17. Click on the stick figure in the top left corner and move it with the Arrow keys and size it with the Shift and Arrow keys on your keyboard.
