Understanding the Scheduled Door Mode

Door schedules define exceptions to the default door mode during specific days and times. For example, if the default door mode is Secure, the door will be in secure mode at all times except during the days and hours defined by a door schedule. To create and apply a door schedule, do the following:

  1. Create the schedule using the Schedule Manager.

  2. Select the schedule in the Door Properties window using the Door Enable Schedule menu.

  3. Select the door mode used during the schedule using the Scheduled door mode menu.

Door schedules are optional: if a door schedule is not configured, the door remains in Default mode at all times. See Configuring the Default and Scheduled Door Modes for instructions to create a schedule and apply it to a door.

Door schedules change the door mode at the days and times included in the schedule. If a door is set to open every workday at 8 am, the door opens even if it is a holiday and no one is physically present. See Understanding First Unlock Impact on the Scheduled Mode to avoid this situation.

To override a door schedule, see Manually Override the Door Mode Using Commands.
