Manual Operations on Areas

This feature is used to empty cards that are in an area to the unknown area and/or move selected cards to a specific area. The Area dialog can only be used with Global Gateways.

Icon	Definition
	Get card list: will list all the cards in the selected area, after the filter and sorting criteria have been defined.
	Empty area: Will move the cards in the selected area into the unknown area.
	Move only selected card: will move the selected cards to a specific area.

You can also display supervisor cards, invalid cards or all the cards located in a specific area.

1 - From the Gateway list, select a gateway to view an area.

2 - Select an area from the left-hand pane (for example, Cards in area), the system will automatically display:

•  The number of cards that are currently located in the selected area (all cards, supervisors and invalid).

•  The number of supervisor cards that are currently located in the selected area (assigned with a supervisor level).

•  The number of invalid cards that are currently located in the selected area. A card is invalid because the schedule assigned to the cardholder's access level does not authorize the cardholder to remain inside the selected area.

3 - From the Filter drop down list select an item, then click the Refresh button to display detailed information on the selected item.

•  Cards in Area : If selected, the system will display all the cards located in the selected area. The card total will be displayed under the “gateway list” field.

•  Supervisor Cards in Areas : If selected, the system will display all the supervisor cards (assigned with a supervisor level) located in the selected area. The card total will be displayed under the “gateway list” field.

•  Invalid Cards in Area : If selected, the system will display all the cards located in the selected area. The card total will be displayed on the top left-hand of the window (all cards, supervisors and invalid). When a card is invalid, it means that the card access level is no longer good. If for example, a user remains in an area longer than the period of time he is allowed, his card will become invalid and he will no longer be able to exit the area.
