Access Schedule Types

There are two types of access schedules:

Addition schedule – Regular access schedules that define when doors can be accessed. Typical addition schedules are office hours, business hours, after hours, or night time hours.

Subtraction schedule – Exceptions to regular access schedules. They are generally used to restrict access during a specific time period that occurs within the time period of a regular schedule (addition schedule). For example, subtraction schedules can be used to deny users access to the building during public holidays that occur on weekdays.

Both types of access schedules can be used at two levels:

Identification type schedules – Determine when and how readers grant users access to a door. Each identification type must be connected to an access schedule that tells the system when to grant users access with that particular identification type. Multiple addition schedules and subtraction schedules can be added to each identification type. For information about identification types, see page 28.

Group schedules – Determine when, but not how, members of a group are granted access to a door. Each group must be connected to one or more access schedules that tell the system when to grant its members access. Multiple addition schedules and subtraction schedules can be added to each group. For information about groups, see page 27.
