Reporting on Previous
Guard-Tours
Guard Tour Reports
Guard tour reports allow viewing or printing a
listing of events pertaining to previous guard
tours for a specific account. A date/time range
can be specified, and the report can also be
limited to specific items such as guard tour
alarms, or the guard arriving early or late.
TechTip: Reports pertaining to past events are based
on the present event list, plus any archived data that
has been re-imported using the archive feature.
See: "Exporting or Importing Activity or Audit Logs".
Active Guard Tours
: For details on monitoring a guard-
tour, refer to "Guard Tours".
As well, guard tour reports can be viewed
and/or printed right away, saved for future
reference, or exported for manipulation with
another program.
For better performance, activity and guard-tour reports
cover only the latest 5000 messages in the activity log.
For even faster execution, keep the activity log to a
suitable size via regular use of the Archive and/or
Purge features.
See: "Exporting or Importing Activity or Audit Logs",
and "Removing old Activity or Audit Logs".
