Maps/Floorplans
Maps/Floorplans are imported images representing an area, for example, a building
floorplan, business campus, or an individual office. Maps can have icons placed on them to
represent devices, and maps can be detailed with regions linking them to other
maps/floorplans.
Muster Report
A feature that allows administrators to use the normal antipassback functionality to track
the presence of users in a facility.
Output Behavior
The behavior a device exhibits when it is activated.
Output Behavior, Follow
When the device is activated, the outputs are activated until the state that is being followed
terminates and the delay period elapses. This behavior is only valid for devices that have
state, such as switches, timers, or event trackers when Door Ajar is the selected event.
Example: If you have an Event Track device set to watch Door Ajar messages, you can set
the output to follow the input, and it will engage its output when the door is left ajar.
Likewise, when the Door Ajar condition is cleared, the Event Track device will disengage its
output.
Output Behavior, Latch
When the device is activated, it causes the device's outputs to latch. Example: A buzzer is
activated when a switch is turned on to call a service person.
Output Behavior, Pulse
When the device is activated, its outputs are activated for the amount of time defined in the
second(s) delay field. Example: If a Valid Credential device controls access to a Copy
Machine, the machine is only accessible, once a credential is verified, for the amount of time
specified in the seconds(s) delay field.
Output Behavior, Toggle
When the device is activated, it causes the device's output to change to the opposite state.
Example: A switch linked to the burglar alarm is toggled to deactivate during office hours,
but after hours, the switch toggles back to being activated.
Output Behavior, Unlatch
When the device is activated, it causes the device's outputs to unlatch. Example: A buzzer is
silenced when the switch is turned off by a service person.
Request-to-Exit (REX) Switch
A button or motion sensor that causes a Door latch to disengage, allowing a person to exit.
Relations
Relations are the data that you want to report on, and related data. For example, users
have groups, which have permissions and thus are tied to devices. When building a report
listing all users and the groups those users are in, you can start with the Users relation then
select Groups. This makes various properties of Users as well as Groups available for both
report criteria and outputs.
Rule
A set of conditions for routing email notifications.
Schedule
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 Schedule has a descriptive name
such as "Mon-Fri 7AM-7PM."
