💡 This function is an add-on. It is therefore only available if it is included in the scope of functions of your employee app.

With the new employee card feature, each employee can display up to 10 discount or employee cards directly in the Flip app. Temporary entrance cards or individual vouchers can also be shown here.

What is needed to store employee cards?

1. Access to the employee card feature
   Access data can be requested via the contact person at Flip.
2. CSV file
   In order to display the employee or discount cards in Flip, a CSV file is required, which must contain the following fields:
   1. The external_id, which is assigned when users are imported via our API or the internal Flip user_id.
   2. A barcode format
   3. The barcodeas a number. We take the barcode display from the information in the CSV file.
   4. The optional description displays a name for the barcode.

How does the CSV file need to be filled in?

CSV example:

A template for filling out the CSV file is available in the appendix of this article. If you need to create multiple employee cards for one employee, you can easily add several entries using the same external_id or user_id. You can create up to 10 employee cards for a single employee.

1. External ID and/or User ID
   The External ID is available when using the User and Group API.
   If you don't use the API, you can find out the User ID of the users from the Excel file that you can download in your Admin Dashboard of the app.
   ❗️Caution! Please enter each in the external_id field. The user_id column should be left blank.
2. Barcode format
   Possible barcode formats:

• • CODE128
  • CODE39
  • EAN13, UPC, EAN8, EAN5, EAN2
  • ITF14
  • MSI,MSI10,MSI11, MSI1010, MSI1110
  • pharmacode
  • codabar

3. Select "Select file" and upload the completed CSV file.
   Attention: A new CSV upload always overwrites all existing data.
