# Configure schedules

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. Select the **Set as default Access Schedule** checkbox, if required.  If set as default it will appear in all dropdown schedules boxes.
5. Schedule when the door or floor will be unlocked and locked for each day of the week.
6. 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/smb/site-configuration/configure-schedules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
