IPAC Server Administrator's Manual Page 65 of 334 What are Schedules? A schedule is an editable, reusable time template that can be used to control such things as when a door is accessible or when a device is activated. A user's access privileges are the result of a three-way relationship that is created between: (1) a group of users, (2) a secured device, and (3) a schedule. A group of users is permitted access to a device, such as a door, according to a predefined schedule. This access is granted on the Edit Group page. (Refer to the section on Creating a Group.) This page lets you define access to single door or device differently for individual groups of users. For example, the group "Staff" may have access to the "Front Door" according to the schedule "Work Day," which allows them to access the door, using a valid credential, between the hours of 7:00AM and 6:00PM. At the same door, the group "Cleaning Crew" may have access according to the "Night Shift" schedule, permitting them access only during the hours of 8:00PM and midnight. Schedules also allow one-time active or inactive blocks to be defined. For example, if a training session will be taking place at 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM on the 1st of the month, the "Work Day" schedule can add a one-time change to the schedule allowing the "Staff" group to have access to the facility until 10:00 PM on that day. Additionally, monthly recurring schedule blocks can be defined as well, for example, if the training session were to become a monthly occurrence. A door can also be assigned an Unlock Schedule, which specifies a period of time during which no credential is required to access the door; all users have free access during the Door Unlock Schedule period. Likewise, a device may be assigned an Active Schedule, a period during which the device is in operation. Before any of these devices are created, you must first define the schedule according to which they will operate. (For more information on devices, see the section on Managing Devices.) 65
