Weekly Rules

Weekly Rules are schedules that control will have access to which doors () during a specified period of time (
WHEN
).
By default, there are three types of weekly rules to choose from:
  • Grant Access
    : provides credential access to Users/User Groups for the specified Device(s) or Device Group(s)
  • Auto-Unlock
    : unlocks the Device(s) or Device Group(s) for the scheduled duration
  • : once a User (with permission) has presented their credential, the Device(s) or Device Group(s) remain unlocked for the scheduled duration
Auto-Unlock rules will not deploy at devices that are in Apartment lock function.
Building weekly rules
In order to visualize your weekly rules better, you may want to map them out using a chart:
  1. A column for the name of the rule (best practice is to be as descriptive as necessary).
  2. A column for those who need access (users and/or User groups).
  3. A column for which doors they will need to access (Devices or Device groups).
  4. A column for the days of the week and times (scheduled times).
Example
Rule Name
Who?
[users/User groups]
Where?
[devices/Device groups]
When?
[scheduled days and times]
Maintenance (Full Access)
Maintenance Crew
All Doors
24/7
Resident Pool Access
All Residents
Pool
9AM to 9PM
Resident Clubhouse Access
All Residents
Clubhouse
8AM to 7PM
You should review every scenario and ensure there is little to no overlap or redundancies. In general, it’s best to keep rules as simple as possible.
We
highly recommend
 utilizing groups (for both users and Devices) when configuring any weekly rule. Assigning individual people or doors to rules may add unnecessary complexities that may make it more difficult to manage.
Generated Weekly Rules
When a new Device is added, a new Grant Access Weekly Rule is automatically generated. This rule is created and added to the automatically generated User group. Users are then granted access simply by adding them to the User group that has the same name as the new Device.
Generated Weekly Rules cannot be changed or deleted. They make a simple way to grant access to users.
Delivering Rules to the Devices
Once the rule is created, edited or deactivated the devices need to be updated in order for those changes to go into effect
