Badge View is a simplified UI for the Avigilon Alta Open mobile app. With Badge View enabled users will see a digital ID badge with their name, photo, and other organizational information on the home screen of the Avigilon Alta Open app. If they are in proximity of a reader, the entry will appear below their Badge. Users can also view a list of all entries they have access to by tapping View All.

To enable Badge View:

  1. Go to https://control.openpath.com/login and log in. To access the European Alta Access, please go to https://control.eu.openpath.com/login.

  2. Go to Configurations > Mobile App and toggle Enable Badge View.

Note: Users may need to update their Avigilon Alta Open app to the latest version to see the badge in their app.

To customize the badge design:

 

  1. Click on the Badge UI tab to customize the look and feel of the digital badge.

  2. On the Name tab, adjust the size, position, and text formatting.

  3. On the Photo tab, adjust the position of the user’s photo, and select a color for the photo’s border.

Note: A user without a photo will instead display their initials.

4. On the Logo tab, click Select Logo to upload an image, Replace Logo to replace an existing one, or remove the image/leave the image blank to use text instead.

Note: You cannot edit the Text settings if an image is selected.

5. On the Background tab, use the default background or click Replace Background to use your own. You can also remove the background image and use a solid color background instead – click the color tile to select a color using the color picker, or click the arrows to enter your color in HEX, RGBA, or HSLA

6. On the External ID tab, click the slider to enable the optional External ID field and adjust the size, position, and text formatting.

7. On the Custom Fields tabs, select which Custom Field you’d like to use, then adjust the size, position, and text formatting.

8. Custom Fields are only available on the Premium plan and can be edited under Users > Custom Fields.

9. Click Save to publish your changes.

Tips for badge design:

  • You can enable or disable any of the fields using the Enabled Sliders.

  • You can customize the placement of any field by adjusting the Position settings and increasing or decreasing the Center X and Center Y coordinates as desired.

    • Dimensional coordinates are based on the default badge size of 300 x 188px. If you’re trying to center a field, try inputting Center X (px): 150 and Center Y (px): 94.

  • For text fields, you can customize the font family, size, weight, line height, alignment, color, and case (lower, UPPER, or Capitalize Each Word). You can also choose whether first and last names appear on two lines or one.

  • At any point, you can click Restore defaults within a tab to revert changes made to that particular field – clicking Restore defaults will only affect the current field you are customizing.
