Manage Door Schedules

You can set door schedules to automatically lock and unlock doors based on time periods. Configure lock and unlock times, and utilize advanced options such as open after first authentication to set up secure and controlled access.

Info
  • Schedules apply only to doors and devices that are connected to the internet.

  • Holiday groups ignore unlock schedules unless they are configured separately.

  • Keep at least one administrator with unrestricted access for emergencies.

Configure unlock schedules

An unlock schedule is the period when a door remains open without authentication. Configure an unlock schedule as instructed below.

  1. Click Door ManagementRegistered Doors in the left sidebar.

  2. In the list, click the checkbox for the door to configure its unlock schedule.

  3. Click Schedule Settings at the top of the door list.

  4. When the Lock/Unlock Schedule Settings window appears, select a predefined schedule or create a new one in the Unlock tab.

  5. Click OK to apply the unlock schedule.

Info
  • When Unlock after the first authentication is enabled, the door stays unlocked according to the selected schedule after the first user authenticates. This option is useful for offices and retail stores where the door must remain locked until the first employee arrives.
