ID types

Each ID must belong to an ID type. An ID type can specify a category, purpose, or other distinctive characteristics of IDs that you consider useful for your business.

ID types are consistent for the IDs in the IDs directory as well as for those referring to stock items and menu items.

To manage ID types, please refer to the ID types directory. The developers of Tillypad XL have included some system ID types into this directory:

  • MC (magnetic card),

  • Barcode (barcode),

  • iButton (Dallas key),

  • Proximity (proximity card),

  • Mobile number (mobile phone call).
