Automatically Generate Card/ID Numbers

This page applies to:

PaperCut NG/MF can generate random Card/ID Numbers for users. If you don’t already have ID numbers assigned for other purposes, this might be the ideal solution. PaperCut NG/MF provides a number of options allowing you to choose whether to centrally administer the Card/ID Numbers or to allow users to generate and manage their own numbers.

After PaperCut NG/MF generates the users’ Card/ID Numbers, it offers two methods to share the numbers with users:

  • Send an email to each user with their new number. This is set up in Options > Notifications > Card/ID Number Notification. See Card/ID number notification for more information.
  • Allow users to view their number in the User web portal. To enable this feature, go to Options > General > User Features and select Allow users to view their Card/ID Numbers. Specify whether you want users to view their primary or secondary Card/ID number.
