Here's a quick
description of the loading feature of the Card Manager. Previously, the
Card Manager would only let you clear a card if it was already loaded onto the
unit. The idea being, if they clear the card accidentally then at least
they can create a new one.
Knecht is worried
that oddball cards from previous elections might end up out at the polling
place. He doesn't want poll workers confused by the "Load/Reload" prompts,
which they should never see. So, I have changed the behaviour so that
cards can only be loaded as part of administrator setup. The unit will now
prompts "Ready To Load Keys" after the "Reload Keys" is selected with the
manager card. The user can then load keys until the unit is next turned
off. Once turned off, the keys are locked with the cards that have been
loaded. Free keys can no longer be selected once the keys are
loaded. If an unknown card is inserted into a loaded unit, then the key
number will change to "?" (ie, no key), the card identifier is displayed with a
"Clear?" prompt. The user can then clear the card.
Hope this improves
things.
