Overview
The Elevator Access Levels are used to determine when a person can access certain floors. Floors can be assigned scheduled access within the Elevator Access Level to determine what floors a person has permissions to gain access to.
Elevator Access Levels
Elevator Access Levels use the same Schedules as other aspects of the Keep system. Floors can be added by individual numbers or by groups of numbers with a “-“ between them.
It is important to note that People are not added to the Elevator Access Level. People are added to the Access Level for either traditional reader-controlled points such as doors or gates while at the same time being granted access to the reader controlling elevator access. This approach means that management of where and when a person can go places can all be controlled from one page.
