Muster reports

Muster reporting in EntraPass allows roll call reporting that is used mostly in emergency situations where the location of all personnel is required at once. When an input (an emergency alarm, for example) is triggered, a muster report can automatically list all the people currently present in a pre-defined area. Muster reports can be sent through email and directed to up to 32 printers. EntraPass will send the reports to the printers first, then to the pre-configured email addresses. Muster reports come in Sybase format when printed and in a CSV format through email.

Note: If a report cannot be printed or an email cannot reach its destination, a message displays on the workstation where the report was issued from.

Graphic desktops display area groups statuses. Icons indicate when the area is active and when the area is empty.

Certain conditions must be defined to trigger a muster report:

  • A muster area must be defined where there is a badging station and where employees gather during the emergency procedure.
  • Area groups must be configured to contain the areas that need to be monitored during an emergency situation. If only one area needs to be monitored, an area group must be created to contain that area. For instructions on configuring area groups, see Area Group Creation.
  • Doors with anti-passback that are part of muster area groups must have their “Area before” parameter set to “Unknown area” in order for employees to gain access to their working area after the emergency situation is over. For instructions on configuring door anti-passback, see Defining a door under a Global/KT-NCC Gateway.
  • An input must be defined to trigger the muster report. For instructions on configuring inputs, see Input Configuration.
  • Graphics on graphics desktops may contain the area groups buttons that are monitored during an emergency period.
