The Airport Badging Solution (ABS) plugin adds new custom fields to your Security Center system. You must remember to grant access to these new custom fields to your badge officers.
Custom fields created by default
Installing the ABS plugin creates one custom data type and three custom fields in your Security Center system. They are used to track the status of the airport badges you manage. All three custom fields are created for the credential entity. This is because there is a one-to-one relationship between an airport badge and a credential in Security Center.
The added custom fiels described in the following table.
| Entity type | Name | Data type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Credential | Badge revoke state | Revoke state type | Track the reason why a badge has been revoked. The possible reasons are defined in the custom data type Revoke state type. |
| Credential | Returned | Boolean | Whether or not the badge has been returned. |
| Credential | Suspended | Boolean | Whether or not the badge has been suspended. |
Custom fields that you might need to create yourself
There are custom fields that you might need to create yourself if you want to print certain badge properties on the badges, such as badge number and employee privileges. You need to create custom fields and map them to the badge-specific properties because only custom fields can be printed on badges.
