By activating the access schedule, you can control when a certain unit or user has access to the building. This is an optional function, please contact support to activate it.
Once it has been activated, this is how you set it up:
Access schedule is administered on door level, and can be different for each door. Once the function has been activated, you will find it by first choosing your building, click “Access”, choose which door you want to set up an access schedule for:
Once you have chosen the door you want to add an access schedule for, you will find “Access Schedule” in the top menu. You activate it by clicking “Allow by schedule access”, and add your schedule by clicking “Add schedule”.
This is where you configure the access schedule for your door.
It’s important to know that once you have activated an access schedule, the door will always be closed for everyone that is not included in an access schedule. That is why best practice is to start by adding a standard schedule for all, or most of the units.
Choose the time you want to allow access, and whether or not the schedule should be repeating or not. Once you have chosen the schedule to repeat weekly, you will get the option to choose the weekdays.
Here we have chosen a schedule that allow entrance between 08.30- 17.30 Monday-Friday. Click Continue to choose your units.
In this case we are setting up the basic access schedule, and there are no units that should have less access than this, so we will add this schedule for all units, and then click “Continue”.
In the final step we will choose which door opening methods to apply to the schedule.
Digital key means that they can open the door for themselves in the app
Access card means that they can open the door via the card reader with a keyfob or some other type of access card,
Visitor means that they will have a visible doorbell that visitors can press, and then the users can open the door via the app, and
Opening from 3rd party systems means that they can open the door via for instance an external card reader that is connected to the Defigo systems.
Since this is the regular basic access that everyone should have, we’re choosing all of the options and then Create in order to save and create the access schedule.
This is the way the new access schedule will look:
We will click the pen to choose a name for the schedule, and the arrow down to see the details:
We will now give the new access schedule a name, then press the check-symbol to save. If we need to make any changes to the schedule we can always come back here and make changes by clicking the pen-symbol. We will then click the + symbol to add a new schedule:
We will now create a schedule for those who should always have access, so we will add the time from 00:00 - 23:59. Since this schedule will be valid for every day we will not choose a repeating schedule.
Now we choose the groups we want to grant full access to, and then press “Continue”
We will grant access to all door opening-methods, and click Create.
It’s possible to configure both Scheduled Opening and Access Schedule for the same door.
Please be aware the door will remain unlocked during Scheduled Opening periods, regardless of access restrictions.
