Setup Time Schedules

Setup Time Schedules

1.0 Introduction

The Borealis system uses Time Schedules in access rights – to determine when cardholders are able to gain access. They are also assigned to doors as auto-unlock time schedules – to determine when doors will automatically unlock and re-lock. This setup guide will explain how to setup a time schedule for Monday to Friday between the hours of 06:00 and 18:59.

A time schedule can consist of multiple intervals.


2.0 Add a Time Schedule

  1. From the main menu on the left, select Schedules. For a new system you will see two default schedules (Always and Never) - these two schedules are non-editable.
  2. Click the CREATE button on the right side of the screen.
  3. The Create Schedule form will appear.
  4. Enter a description for the new schedule.
  5. Select the site that the schedule will apply to.
  6. The schedule mode will default to 'Scan' - this will ensure the schedule uses the schedule intervals to determine when it should activate and de-activate.
  7. Place a checkmark in the Enable checkbox to enable the schedule.




3.0 Add a Time Interval

The next step explains how to add an interval to the schedule. The interval determines a time of day and day of the week that the schedule will be active and inactive.

Note: a maximum of 12 intervals can be assigned to a schedule.

  1. On the create schedule form, click the ADD INTERVAL button. The interval settings will appear on the schedule form.
  2. Use the clock icon to select a start time for the interval (this determines when the interval will become active). For example 07:00. Or you can click Now to begin the schedule at the time that is set on the client PC.
  3. Click the SET button to set the start time.
  4. The end time will default to 23:59... use the clock to set a different end time (this determines when the interval will become inactive). For example 18:00.
  5. Click the SET button to set the end time.
  6. Click inside the Day of Week field and you will see a list of all the days of the week. Place a checkmark against all the days that you wish the interval to be active. The selected days of the week will appear as a list inside the Day of Week field.
  7. Click inside the Holidays field and you will see a list of 8 available holiday types. Select the holiday types that will be active on this time interval.

    Notes:
    - The holidays must already be setup and configured.
    - When a holiday is active for an interval that means the interval will be ACTIVE on the holiday date that is selected for the holiday.

  8. Click the SAVE button to save and create the schedule and interval.



  9. The schedule form will close and the new schedule will appear in the schedule list.
  10. If you require more than one interval for the schedule, place a checkmark against the schedule name, select Edit from the Action drop-down list on the right and then click the ADD INTERVAL button again (located at the bottom of the create schedule form).
