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.
