In older versions of CardExchange® Producer, configuration was done through the Card-Definition Wizard. Although this wizard seemed logical, a lot of our customers found it very hard to work with. Most of the functionality that is and was available via this wizard should now be configured in the Card Designer but not all options are available . For more advanced features like external plug ins, this wizard is still needed. But you also still need it when you still use old version 6 layouts and have not converted them.
At this moment, when you are not using External Plug In's, you should not need this wizard anymore. When you are using Plug Ins you still need to use the Card-Definition wizard and Advanced Mappings Window. Along the way, more and more functionality will be embedded into the Designer so at the end, this Card-Definition wizard will become obsolete.
The Card-Definition wizard contains two pages. The first page contains all the information about the layout, database connections, contactless encoding, and plug in's. Both pages are explained in the sections Card Definition Wizard and Advanced Mappings.
By default the Edit card definition button is hidden to avoid confusion, you can enable it by checking the box for "Show advanced mappings" under the advanced options in the Configuration tab.
