Enabling Zones

This section describes how to enable zones in iLOQ 5 Series Manager.

Proceed as follows.

  1. Select Administration > Edit locking system information.

  2. In the Views area, select Zone settings.
  3. From tn the Zone functionality drop-down menu, choose:
    • Not in use — Zones are not enabled.
    • In use, excluding persons and keys — Zones are enabled, but not for persons and keys. This means that person and key data is commonly available to all users.

    • In use, including persons and keys — The zone feature also covers persons and keys.

      Note:

      Carefully consider, plan and provide internal instructions on how the zones will be used for persons and keys. If the zone structure for persons and keys is too restrictive, other users may not see the necessary keys/persons when trying to grant them access rights. This may lead to unwanted situations, where:

      • One person has several keys
      • One person appears in the system several times
  4. In the Default zone for new objects drop-down menu, choose the zone that new objects, excluding persons and keys, will be assigned to by default (provided that the user has access to the zone).
  5. In the Default zone for new keys and persons drop-down menu, choose the zone that new persons and keys will be assigned to by default, (provided that the user has access to the zone).
  6. Click Save and close.
  7. A summary window is displayed.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Add the Right to edit zones, Right to browse zones and Show zone functions usage rights to the desired users.
  10. Log out of iLOQ 5 Series Manager.
  11. Log into iLOQ 5 Series Manager.
  12. You can now add zones.
