OverviewThe Occupant ID Cards section allows properties to generate and locally print free ID cards for residents. The Occupant ID’s are helpful for identifying residents during employee strikes and other unusual circumstances. The IDs are formatted to be printed on standard 2" x 3.5" cardstock, Avery cardstock numbers 8371, 5376, or equivalent. |

Generating & Printing Occupant ID Card
To create Occupant ID cards for your residents start by clicking the Other tab and select ID Cards and Labels. Next, choose Occupant ID Cards. You will be prompted to select the occupant types for which you wish to print ID cards. By default, all occupants are selected but if you don't wish to print cards for a specific type of occupant (Ex. offsite owners) you can uncheck that occupant type.
Once you have selected who you would like to print ID Cards for, the next step is to decide what information you would like on the card. It's a good idea to include the name and resident photo at a bare minimum. (Note: Be sure occupants have a photo saved in the Official Resident Photo section of their profile. To add one, pull up the unit in the Quick Search field and click here for further instructions.) Unfortunately, additional fields or information cannot be added to the Occupant ID cards.
When you are finished customizing your ID cards, simply click the Generate PDF button and a printable PDF will generate in the lower right corner of your BuildingLink screen.
