Schedule

A schedule indicates when the system executes certain operations, for example:

•  Automatically unlocking doors

•  Permitting access to employees

•  Running automatic reports

•  Monitoring inputs

It also determines when the system acknowledges events, or when to activate relays controlling different functions, for example lighting and heat. A schedule can have up to 20 intervals. Each interval has a start and end time. You can select each of these intervals for seven days of the week, and for four holidays. You can program 99 schedules per site, and an unlimited number of system schedules.

EntraPass web supports two types of schedule:

•  System schedules: for global functions that are not loaded in controllers.

•  Site schedules: for sites, define up to 99 schedules per site. You must enable the advance schedule for site schedules in EntraPass workstation. Go to Options, click System parameters configuration, and click Schedule.

If you assign or define schedules, make sure you select the proper category for the schedule. For example, if you assign or define a system schedule, the schedule is available for components in this category. If you select a schedule for hardware components, the system groups the schedules by site. If you define two sites in the system, the system creates two separate groups of schedules for each site.

The top section of the Schedule tab contains the following field and buttons:

•  System

•  Add

•  Edit

•  Duplicate

•  Delete
