Our powerful CardExchange® Designer is based on the WYSIWYG "What You See Is What You Get” principle. Just easy drag and drop functionality and double sided card layout support, this new designer brings easy card designer at hand.

Besides of the normal designing tools, CardExchange® Designer has more advanced and powerful functionality. Both the front and back of the card are presented in the object tree-view window where every object of the card layout can be select. You will have no more problems with moving objects and it is very easy to make small corrections. All standard Windows fonts are supported. You set variables and functions for objects like concatenating and formulas.

CardExchange® Designer is also included in our Entry, Plus and Premium versions of our software, which means that it is easy to upgrade to higher levels and use your existing card layouts / templates without modifications

Starting from CardExchange® Plus edition offers advanced three-level filter technology. The first level can be used to hide data completely from any CardExchange® user and offers functionality to show only the information that is valid for the select card layout. The second level is a series of named filters defined by the administrator and presented as buttons in the short-cut bar. By pressing one of those buttons, the user can limit the visible names to, for example, employees of a specific department or students whose identity
card has not been printed yet. The third level always prompts the user to enter filter data. It is designed to avoid loading the entire name list while only a single record is needed and enables you to search directly on the connected database Server. This powerful and flexible filter technology ensures that CardExchange® can be configured in conformity whit your requirements with respect to performance and protection of your data.

CardExchange® Premium allows you to use our powerful database modules for DB2, MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle. These database modules offer high speed and secure database connections and you can load large amounts of card-holder data to your computer within a very short time. The new Multiple Database Server connection module enables you to connect unlimited databases to one card layout and you can exchange information between all connected databases.

Do you need to have the MIFARE chip serial number available in all your connected databases? Or need to store the picture in all connected databases? No problem if you use this module.\; it includes the functionality to create internal queries/views, 100% flexibility is guaranteed.

Starting with the CardExchange® Entry edition we offer the world's most intuitive user-interface available in any software.

Just by four simple clicks you are starting your card production; Select the card-layout, select the cardholders name, take a picture and print a card. If you are creating powerful database connections, or configuring MIFARE encoding, or using External Functions; you are only Four Clicks away from
producing your card.

The CardExchange® Four Clicking Interface offers you the possibility to manage an unlimited number of different card layouts, where every card layout can have their own specific database connection, printer selection, etc. Just by simply selecting the card layout, all the required setting are loaded and managed by CardExchange®. In combination with our External Functions there are almost no limitations to the kind of functionality we can offer.

Another unique feature of our software is the CardExchange® Guru “Peedy” which is powered by Microsoft Agent 2.0 character data file (.acs format). Microsoft Agent is a software technology that enables an enriched form of user interaction that can make using and learning to use a computer, easier
and more natural. When you need assistance with any software function such as creating or loading a card layout our CardExchange® Guru to provide step-by-step instructions and help you accomplish the task.

CardExchange® offers a power plug-in module for encoding MIFARE cards. This plug-in module allows you to create a read and write definition and process them at the same time. In combination with our External Functions the possibilities are unlimited. For example, you can create a read definition that reads the MIFARE chip serial number then the External Functions calculates, based on the chip serial number, the new data and the write definition writes the this new data to the MIFARE chip. The MIFARE functionality is available through our fully integrated MifareExchange® SDK. It offers a straightforward wizard to define precisely how data is to be written to the MIFARE chip and how sectors are to be protected with keys. It
supports MIFARE 1K and 4K as well as the MIFARE Application Directory (MAD). All settings are stored in a portable, encrypted MIFARE-definition file that can be reused for as many cards as you want.

With the CardExchange® External-Functions module offers the utmost flexibility for the implementation of client-specific logic. Any non-standard functionality can be encapsulated in a dynamic-link library that can be called from CardExchange®. In the card-item properties window, its output variables can be linked to card items, while its input variables are linked to standard data sources

You can, for example, combine a manually entered site code, with a cardissue number that is retrieved from the database and a global counter that serves as card number into a 46-bit Wiegand code to be written to the MIFARE chip. External Functions are easy to implement and there are virtually no limitations to the functionality we support.
