Configure schedules

CURRENTLY APPLIES TO ELEVATORS FLOORS ONLY (CHANGE DOOR SCHEDULES TO BE MIGRATED JULY 2025.

Access Control Schedules are simplified to reduce the need for them to be maintained or frequently changed.  An Access Control Schedule can be set by your technician which specifies the hours each day that the schedule will be applied. Access control schedules can be allocated to both doors and elevator floors.

• Access Control Schedules are configured by the Technician in the SMB Installer Portal.

• One Door Schedule per door or floor.

• Each day of the week can be configured differently.

• Two options available: 'Locked 24 Hours' or 'Customized'.

Creating an Access Schedule

1. Select the SCHEDULE tab.

2. Click ADD NEW

3. Enter a name for the Schedule - this will appear in the Door & Floor schedule dropdown options.

4. To keep the door or floor locked until a user presents a valid credential, regardless of its schedule, select the First access unlock check box.

• With this option selected, even when the door or floor is scheduled to unlock, it will remain locked until there is a successful access request.

• If this option is not selected, the door or floor will unlock immediately at the time its schedule states it will become unlocked, even when its Area is armed.

1. Schedule when the door or floor will be unlocked and locked for each day of the week.

2. Once finished configuring the schedules, click OK to close and save your changes.

NOTES:

• When a door or floor is locked or unlocked according to its schedule, this cancels any overrides that were on the door or floor.

• If you have enabled the 'First access unlock' check box, the door or floor will not unlock (when it is scheduled to unlock) until a user presents a valid credential to the reader. It then stays unlocked by default until the scheduled 'Locked' time.

• On public holidays, the door or floor is secured by two means. The site should be armed, which prevents all access, and the 'First access unlock' feature can prevent the door or floor being unlocked until someone accesses it, even when it is scheduled to unlock.

• Users with Site Manager or Site Admin privileges can remotely lock and unlock doors they have privilege to, from the Gallagher SMB app.
