Access Schedules is a cost option that is used within TrakaWEB to impose time restrictions on iFobs/items over and above the normal access rights needed to access them.
Before it can be used, it will need to be enabled on your Traka Touch system by installing a configuration file. This is usually carried out by Traka during production but if need be, you can add the configuration file to your own existing system. Please contact Traka or your distributor for further details.
The functionality of Access Schedules is based on the following requirements:
To grant/restrict access, any users who are included in a schedule will only be allowed access to iFobs/items when the schedule is active. Outside of this time, they will have access to no iFobs/items at all
The access restrictions will not prevent a user from returning an item, only taking it.
Locking receptor strips on key cabinets and locker doors will physically restrict access to items however, non-locking receptor strips are unable to enforce this.
If an Item is physically removed outside of the allowed access schedule (e.g., on a non-locking system) then an ‘Item Removed outside Schedule’ event will be recorded.
A schedule restriction can be overridden on an Item (not a user) by a special role called ‘Item Access Schedule Override’.
Software permissions will control who can administer the access
schedules.
NOTE:
The best practice would be to keep users and item/iFobs in separate
Access Schedules to avoid potential confusion.
