This can be any column from the Students database.

At the same time you may wish to change the header for the specified entry. To change the Username header, edit the key in the Translation file named "StudentNumberHeader"

Student backside

By using our Custom Terms and Localization module, we've added a backside to the Student Card

By adding a translation entry in your localization file with the following key, you can add whatever custom text you want to show on the backside of the Student card:

• Key: "StudentCardBacksideText"

FAQ

• I've taken a new photo and it's showing in Your Information, but not on my Student/Employee Card

When you take a new photo with Your Information, it's stored with a 'Pending'-tag. To ensure only valid photos are used for user IDs, the student and employee cards only uses photos that has been marked as Approved.

See UMS Photo for more info on this module.

• The student card backside isn't showing

By default the translated entry is empty, and as a result the student card backside is disabled. It will only become enabled once you have added a translated entry for the specified key.

• How do I get the student card backside to show?

Tap the student card to flip between front and back side.
