You can use the Mustering task without a connection to the Directory. All credentials badged while the task is disconnected are in an offline status, and their associated cardholders are not moved to any area until the task connects.
If you open the Mustering task without logging on to a Security Center Client, the task opens in a separate
window. To do this, you must first enable the Mustering task for
offline use.
Offline mustering without local entity storage
If the Mustering task is not connected to the Directory the first
time you open it, the list of cardholders, credentials, and areas is unavailable. Manual
mustering is therefore unavailable, and new entries created by card reads only contain
the credential raw data and timestamp. These entries have an offline status (
), and their
associated cardholders are not moved to any area.
To move badged cardholders to the mustering area after you connect to the Directory, you
must select the mustering area and confirm the selection.
Offline mustering with local entity storage
If the task loses connection with the Directory, the last known information associated
with credentials, cardholders, and areas is stored in a local cache. Manual mustering is
therefore unavailable, and new entries created from card reads include all the
information associated to the credential. All cardholders badged while the task was
disconnected are automatically moved to the mustering area when connection is re-established.
