To program the Action scheduler, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Operation tab, and select Action scheduler from the menu.
  2. From the calendar interface, double-click the date you want, or click the Add button on the upper left panel.
  3. In the Action scheduler window, enter a name for the action in the primary or secondary fields.
  4. From the Action list, select the appropriate action, the default action is Unlock door.
    Note: Execute task is a new action that selects an existing task builder as a component, an option to select a specific time zone is available, where the default is based on the location of the local server. When you create a new action schedule by right-clicking a component from the Operation menu, the menu only displays actions appropriate to that component.For wireless door connections, use V3 of the Assa-Abloy firmware with any of the compatible controllers listed in the table, Controller and firmware compatibility.
  5. In the Schedule date and time fields, select the appropriate values. The default day is the current day, and the default time is one hour later than the current time.
    Note: If you select a temporary action, an end time box appears. If an action has a dual function such as Activate and Deactivate, Date and Time fields appears.
  6. In the Action scheduler tag field, create a name to tag the action scheduler. The tag populates a list used to filter all actions. Each new name generates a new tag, 50 tags is the maximum amount possible. If no action uses a tag, it is automatically removed from the list.
  7. Optional: Select the Recurring checkbox if you want the action to repeat. In the Frequency list, choose from Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Annually. Set the counter to the amount of times you want the action to repeat, this is a static setting and 99 is the maximum amount of times available. A dynamic counter is visible in the lower section of the calendar view.
  8. Select the Delete when expired check box to delete the action after the programmed amount of recurrences.
    Note: To ensure different time zones are adhered to, EntraPass deletes actions 24 hours after midnight of the day of execution. For example, an action programmed for Monday 15:00 is deleted the following Wednesday at 00:00.
  9. You must use one of the eight Component fields for an action.
    Note: If you want the action to work in stand-alone mode, use only new generation controllers such as the KT-1, KT-400, KT-400 rev1, or KT-2.
  10. Click the Save button.
