2. Planning a locking system

<<1.Glossary

3.Downloading, setting up and accessing Manager>>

Planning is the master key to an efficient and working locking system! Good locking system design happens from top to bottom. This means starting from the big picture and moving down to the details. Here is an example of a rundown of what to do and in which order so that every step is as easy as possible.

  1. Think about if and what kinds of zones and estates are necessary and create them if needed 
    • These are not necessary, especially in a small locking system, but they help in organizing a larger locking system
  2. Upload floor plans that match those found in the premises of the locking system 
    • With the floor plans, it is easy to visualize the necessary access rights that give everyone just the rights they need. 
  3. Plan and create access rights
    • Make sure the access rights give access to only where the people need it.
  4. Create the locks and set them on the floor plans. 
  5. Create persons and person roles if needed.
  6. Create the keys
    • It is easy to create new persons and keys later

When you have created everything, it is easy to calculate the number of locks and keys needed. You can do this by selecting "Basic data" > "Browse locks/keys", grabbing a column, and dragging it on the empty space above the column titles. The grid view, then, shows the keys or the locks arranged by the column name, along with the amounts needed, as shown below:
