View the access log for Smart Access at a particular site. This report allows you to understand which users are accessing which doors, when, and if those users are experiencing Denial of access.

Note: There are a number of logs associated with Smart Access. For information about these other report types, see: Smart Access - Doors.

Opening the access log

From Smart Access > Access log:

  1. Select the site that you want to see accesses for.

  2. Filter your report to show those details you are interested in:

    1. Use the calendar tools to select the time period you are interested in.
      The report reflects the local time at the site. This means that, if your site is in the UK, the reported access times will be in Greenwich mean time (GMT).

    2. Optionally, filter the search to show accesses with particular details.

Filters are applied on selection. For more information about the report, see Report details.

Use the two calendar tools to filter the log to show only those accesses between the selected dates.

  • Move between the pages, including skipping to the first and last pages.

  • Go directly to a specific page.

Show all:
