Exporting Events
The Import/Export Wizard can be used to export events that provide an historical record of activity
tracked by the System, including:
• Individuals that were granted or denied access,
• Anti-passback violations,
• Users that logged into the System,
• System and device status messages, and
• Alarms, such as door tampering, doors forced open, etc.
Events can also be backed up either manually or on a schedule using the
