Template Settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Template Name | The name of the template. This name displays in the Badge Printing tool. |
| Badge Type | The type of badge, either Student or Staff. Note: Changing the badge type with existing ad hoc fields removes all existing fields on the badge. |
| Background Image (<2 MB) | Adds a background image to the badge. The size of this image is 54mm by 86mm. For an image to fit, the aspect ratio should be 17:27. The image will be stretched to fit the badge if it is not that size. |

| Show Grid | Adds a grid to the badge only visible in this view. Elements can snap to the grid for ease of design. |

Preview Student
The Preview Student function allows the user to view what the badge template will look like using a person ID number. The example badge is generated as a PDF.
