How to import card numbers
With this option, you can add or append new card numbers to the assignno table for use in In-House Cards programs. You need to contact Siriusware Technical Support to purchase a table of new card numbers.
To add or append card numbers to the assignno table in SiriusSQL from SysManager:
1. Go to SysManager > Utilities > Data Maintenance and click Import Card Numbers.
2. Click the Yes button to confirm that you want to import a file of new card numbers. Browse to and select the appropriate File to Import (this is the set of assignno.dbf and assignno.cdx files provided with numbers from Siriusware Technical Support) and click the Import button.
3. If you attempt to import card numbers that already exist in your assignno table, you see a message to that effect and you are prevented from completing the import. This message displays the last card number in your table. Please make a note of this number and create a new run of card numbers with numbers greater than the highest number displayed. If the range of card numbers to be imported is a valid range of numbers and won’t create duplicates, then you are given a chance to confirm the import by viewing a summary of the import including: Total card numbers to import, Number source (bucket), Beginning card number and Ending card number.
4. Click Yes to start the import.
When the import is complete, a message displays showing the total number of card numbers imported.
Note: Access to this functionality is controlled by the following security setting: SysManager > Menu/Utilities > Import Card Numbers.
