Managing the Dashboard

Practically speaking, the Dashboard page is intended to give Administrators more immediate
control over their installation environment. The Pulse feature provides a standard remote
"buzz-through" access on doors for authorized users who may have forgotten their
credential, entered a PIN incorrectly several times, or attempted entry out-of-schedule. The
Latch/Unlatch toggle feature allows Administrators to intentionally latch or unlatch a
programmable device that is configured for that output behavior. The Lock Early/Unlock
Early/Follow Schedule feature allows Administrators to manually override a door locking
schedule to allow/disallow access under certain special circumstances.
