Every employee in Essal Access has a digital business card — a clean, shareable page showing their professional details and contact information. The business card is designed to be shared like a physical card: via a link, a QR code, or a vCard file that can be saved directly to a phone’s contacts. Business Card Editor

​
Business Card vs. Public Profile

Essal Access has two different public-facing views: The business card is the lightweight, privacy-friendly view. The full public profile is the access-control-oriented view.

​
What Appears on the Card

A business card shows:
  • Cover strip — your organization’s primary color, with optional cover photo and company logo
  • Profile photo — employee’s photo, or initials if no photo is set
  • Name, role, and department
  • Social media icons — LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook (linked)
  • Save Contact button — downloads a vCard (.vcf) file for saving to phone contacts
  • Email and Call buttons — quick-action links (if contact details are shared)
  • Website and custom links — any additional links configured by the admin or employee
  • Bio — employee’s bio text
  • Contact section — email and phone with icons

​
Who Can Edit the Card

  • Administrators configure the template (colors, cover photo, which fields are shown, and organization-wide links) in the Business Card Editor.
  • Employees can add their own custom links from the Employee Portal.

​
Enabling Business Card Mode

To route all badge scans to the business card instead of the full profile:
  1. Go to Settings → General.
  2. Disable Allow public badge verification.
  3. Enable Business card mode.
With this configuration, scanning any employee badge shows the business card rather than a blocked/restricted screen.
