Review history of formatted cards in the Card Formatter log

Card Formatter creates a log in CSV format for each job file. You can find the log at the path specified when ordering the job file. If you didn't specify a path, the log is created in the same folder as the job file.

The log contains an entry for each formatted card. Entries consist of the following comma-separated values:

  • Timestamp: Date and time of formatting in your local format
  • Number: Programmed card number (PCN) in decimal format
  • UID: Card's serial number in hexadecimal format
  • Version: Job file version
  • Cardformatter: Card Formatter version

To process the log content further, you can import the CSV file into a spreadsheet application such as MS Excel. For more details on how the import works, please refer to this MS Office help article.
