You can investigate events related to elevators, using the Elevator activities report. Events that you can investigate include Floor accessed, Elevator offline: Device is offline, Hardware tamper, and so on.

Procedure

  1. From the homepage, open the Elevator activities task.
  2. Set up the query filters for your report. Choose one or more of the following filters:
    Cardholders
    Restrict the search to specific cardholders, cardholder groups, or visitors.
    Credentials
    Restrict the search to specific credentials.
    NOTE: When you filter on a PIN, the query results don’t include events where that PIN is a supplemental credential.
    Custom fields
    Restrict the search to a predefined custom field for the entity. This filter only appears if custom fields are defined for the entity, and if the custom field was made visible to you when it was created or last configured.
    Elevators
    Select the elevators to investigate.
    Events
    Select the events of interest. The available event types depend on the task you are using.
    Event timestamp
    Define the time range for the query. You can define the time range for a specific period or a relative period, such as the previous week or the previous month.
  3. Click Generate report.
    The elevator events are listed in the report pane.
  4. To show the corresponding video of an event in a tile, double-click or drag the item from the report pane to the canvas.
    If the elevator is not associated to a URL or a map file through a tile plugin, the elevator icon is displayed.
  5. To control the tiles, use the widgets in the Controls pane.

Example

The following are examples of what you can use the Elevator activities report for:
  • See which cardholders or credentials accessed which elevators and floors, for a given time period.
  • Search for Access denied events at an elevator to see who tried to access a floor that they didn’t have permission to enter.
