Case study:
As an example, let's assume that a Food & Beverage company ABC Foods is planning a business expansion scheme and needs to introduce a comprehensive Time & Attendance Management System to monitor Employee attendance and costs.
If they install a range of Networked NITGEN Terminals at offices & factories, all Staff attendance may be securely monitored from a central source by the appropriate Departmental Administrator and the data collected may be sorted by Employee, by Group, by Department, by Terminal, by User ID etc;
Prohibitive Time Zones (Public / Bank Holidays etc) can be easily set up to restrict un-authorised access by selective employees under the control of the HR Department.

"What is a Time-zone?"
A Time Zone is a pre defined period of time (which can be split up into Minutes/Hours/Days) to control or enable Access for Individuals (and Terminals). The time-zone function consists of User time-zone and Terminal time-zone.
- User time-zone: Designates Access privileges for each individual user.
- Terminal time-zone: Designates access privilege via each terminal and has a special time-zone which designates
multi-authentication types hourly at each terminal.
|
|
Preconditions
- ACM Professional supports a terminal time-zone function and user time-zone function to limit the access time via
our reader (terminal).
- "Terminal time-zone" takes priority over "User time-zone".

Setting General Time-Zone criteria
|
|
|
It includes [Timezone Setting] and [Modify Holiday List].
|
|
1. Timezone Setting
|
|
|
1) It includes 3 functions - specifically - [Access Denied], [Access Allowed], and [Opened].
- [Access Denied]: No one can access via the terminal during set-times chosen
- [Access Allowed]: Is the standard default setting and anyone can access via the terminal in this Time frame
- [Opened]: Door is always in
"open" or "unlocked" mode during this selected Time Frame
|
|
2) You can generate a maximum of 16 controlled time-zones.
|
|
3) You can define a Time Zone detail down to "minute" settings as illustrated above figure by
"right clicking" your mouse button on specified time and scrolling up or down to the selected minute setting.
|
[Minutes Time-zone]
|
|
2. Modify Holiday List
|
|
|
1) You can set a maximum of 16 holiday lists - configurations as above.
|
|
|
2) [Holiday Setting] : Click the date you want and "select" or double click, it will be saved in "Holiday List". If you wish
to delete, click any one on the "Holiday list" and click "Delete" button.
|
|
Using above tips, you can set up unique code for time-zone & holiday based on daytime shift, nighttime shift, possible authentication on time for each user for day of the week & holidays. This unique code may be applied to group, each user & each terminal.
