Introduction to Card Management
Use programs on the Card Management Menu (17.3) to:
• Create cards for a newly sized loop.
• Regenerate cards for an existing loop when card data has changed.
• Maintain data on existing cards; for example, you can change card status, as well as activate or inactivate cards, or define limited-use cards for special purposes such as building initial supermarket inventory. See
Limited-Use Cards.
• Print new cards, or reprint existing cards when they have been reactivated, lost, or damaged.
• Manage one or more loops by analyzing and optionally implementing system-generated recommendations to bring loops back into conformance with optimum sizing. You can also add or remove a specified number of cards from multiple loops, as well as deleting inactive cards.
