Administrators have the ability to add expiration dates to ID cards. Expiration dates can be added in several ways. ID cards can expire at a specific date and time, expire after a fixed duration, or expire at a specific date that’s added through a data import.
The process to Set Expiration Dates
Step 1: Log in to your IDMS account and from the Card Templates page, click on the “Edit” option below the template you want to set an expiration date for. This will bring you to the Card Template Builder page.
Step 2: On the Card Template Builder page, click on the “Expiration” tab at the top of the page.
Step 3: Once on the Expiration page, you can turn on the “Show Expiration on Card” feature if you’d like the expiration dates to be displayed on your user’s ID cards. Then you also need to activate the expiration feature by clicking to enable the “Add Expiration date at issuance” feature. Once the “Add Expiration date at issuance” feature is enabled, you will be able to define the parameters for expiration.
Step 4: You will need to choose the data source for your expiration dates:
Option 1: If you select the data source “Expire at a Specific Date and Time,” enter the specific date, time, and time zone that all cards in the template will expire at. On this date and time, all cards in that template will be automatically revoked from your users’ devices.
Option 2: If you select the data source “Expire After Fixed Days,” enter the specific time in days that all cards in the template will expire. Once this set day has been reached, all cards in that template will be automatically revoked from your users’ devices.
Option 3: If you select the data source “Expire After Fixed Hours,” enter the specific time in days that all cards in the template will expire. Once this set hour has been reached, all cards in that template will be automatically revoked from your users’ devices.
Option 4: If you select the data source “Expire at a Specific Date at midnight,” enter the specific time in month, day, and year that all cards in the template will expire at midnight on the specified date. Once this set date has been reached, all cards in that template will be automatically revoked from your users’ devices.
Option 5: If you select the data source “Import Expiration Dates,” expiration dates for individual cards will need to be imported through a CSV file.
