What is Secondary Group?
Resolution
Secondary Group can be used as a secondary schedule or temporary schedule for an Individual. This application works best for users who utilizes Shift Rotation. The following information describes how it needs to be set up.
I/NET displays this editor when you select the Secondary Group Add or Modify from the Individuals - Group Selection Summary. Use this editor to assign a secondary group to an individual. Any group defined for the current tenant can be assigned to an Individual as a Secondary Group.
Note: The Secondary Group feature is supported only on the DPU 7920 fitted with a DPU 48K add-on board.
Overview
Secondary Group schedules supplement the schedules that are already assigned to the individual. For example, if an individual is assigned a group that allows access through a door Monday through Friday, you can assign the individual a Secondary Group that allows Saturday and Sunday access. The individual will then have 7-day-a-week access as long as the Secondary Group assignment is in effect.
When assigning a Secondary Group, define a beginning and ending date and time. The Secondary Group schedules will be active only within the dates and times you specify.
Assigning a Secondary Group to an Individual
Use the following steps to assign a Secondary Group to an individual:
- Use the Group drop-down list to select a group.
- Enter the Begin date and Begin time. Use the mm/dd/yy format to define the Begin date. Use the 24-hour (military format) to define the Begin time. These parameters determine when the Secondary Group assignment will become active.
- Enter the End date and End time. Use the mm/dd/yy format to define the End date. Use the 24-hour (military format) to define the End time. These parameters determine when the Secondary Group assignment will no longer be active.
- Select OK to accept these settings.
Note: Because of DPU memory constraints, no more than 100 concurrent users per door can utilize Secondary Group schedules.
