Item Usage
Another useful feature for troubleshooting and commissioning is the Usage tab.
This tab shows how a particular item links to other items. For example, the usage tab on a door will show which
reader expander the door is linked to, and which door groups the door currently belongs to.
 Use the usage tab on an area to show
 Which inputs are in an area
 Which doors are associated with an area
 Which area groups an area belongs to
 Use the usage tab on a schedule to show which items follow that particular schedule.
 Use the usage tab on an access level to show which users are currently assigned that access Level.
 Use the usage tab on an output to show items that can potentially control the output.
Loading Events
When testing or troubleshooting a particular item, it is quite common to want to see what it has been doing
recently. Every device that can generate an Event has an Events tab. Clicking on the Load Events button will
load the most recent events that were generated by the selected item.
 Use this on a user to quickly see what that user has been doing recently.
 Use this on a door to quickly see what caused that door to open.
 Use this on an input to see when and how often it opened.
 Use this on an area to find out when and who armed or disarmed it.
 Use this on an output to find out what and when it was turned on or off.
