Configure List Fields

List fields allow you to store multiple pieces of unique data within a single field. List fields in Enrollment Designs can be mapped to one or more Credential Designs or to a Variable Graphic field in a Credential Design.

Note: If an Enrollment Design contains a List field with data driven values generated from one or more Credential Designs, the Enrollment Design should be field connected to all the Credential Designs selected in the Data Driven panel of the List field in Credential Designer. The Credential Design field properties will set the font for printing. If a List field value is to be printed on Credential Design, it should be field connected to a field on one or more Credential Designs. Users can then set the fonts on the credential design field connected to list field. For more information, refer to Field Connections.

Note: Instant ID as a Service supports a maximum of 255 characters in a list field. Duplicate values are not permitted. Special characters ">", "<", and ";" are not allowed.
