CONFIGURATIONS OF TIME ZONES
Every time a fingerprint is captured and sent to FRIS for verification, the process occurs
as below,
A time zone consists of a Start time and an End time. If the user’s clocking time falls in
between the Start time and End time, FRIS considers this is as a “valid time period”.
Example, time zone 1 = 08:00 – 20:00, any time that fall between 8:00am and 8:00pm
is consider as a valid time period. Other than that, it is considered as an“invalid time
period”
If you would like to allow all day access to your
users, you must use a free access time zone,
which is 00:00 to 2:59.
If you would like to block a user from accessing all days, you must use the forbidden
time zone, which is 2:59 to 00:00.
FRIS, offers a total of 50 time zones. The default time zone is 00:00 to 2:59
After configuring time zones, a time zone group is required. A time zone group can sup-
port up to time zones. This is applicable if users have multiple time zones.
For example, a cleaner can enter a premise to
do cleaning during office hours, but she is not
allowed to enter before or after working hours
and lunch break. Therefore there are time
zones assigned,
Therefore time zone group = (Time zone 1,
Time zone 2, Time zone )
FRIS, offers a total of 5 time zones groups. Each new enrolled user is added into Default
Time Zone 1 by default, Time Zone Group 1 = free access time zone, time zone 1.
In short, if you would like to use time zones, you need to perform the following
Configure time zone
Assign time zone into time zone group
Assign users into time zone group.
