Once a special day is added, it can be programmed to be a part of a schedule.
Controlled Areas
In general, Freedom has two different types of Controlled Areas - Door and Floor Areas.
Door Areas are areas that has readers, in this case the Door Area represents the in-cab reader. Floor Areas contains relay outputs that activates elevator access (e.g. button in the cab).
The administrator needs to first "link" a Door Area to its associated Floor Area(s). That means all floors that are accessible by the elevator needs to be linked to the Door; in this particular case the Door is simply the in-cab reader.
Floor Controlled Area is an Access Control Object that represents a floor. It contains the Freedom Bridge output ports that are typically connecting to elevator control modules in the building. Floor areas can be linked to door areas in such a way that when Freedom server grants access to a door, its associated floor area outputs can be activated. The card holder’s floor access rights then determines which floor area should be activated.

How to set up
First, the administrator needs to create Door Areas to hold the elevator readers. Then for each controlled area, “link” the corresponding Floor Areas to it. In the above example, a Door Area called Elevator A is created that hosts “Cab A Reader”. This door needs to have linked Floor Areas “Cab A - FL 1”, “Cab A – FL 2” and “Cab A - FL3” that contain relays to elevator A’s control:
...
Elevator B would follow the same idea except that it is using Elevator B reader, Floor Area Cab B – FL 1 through to FL 3.
Freedom offers two ways to handle Floor Access:
1) Use separate Floor Access Groups
This is the original method implemented in 9.2 up to 10.1. The user will need to be assigned to a User Access Group that allows access to the various elevators. Floor Access Groups are then assigned to the user to give access to his floor.
This is how the User Access Group would look like for the above example:
...
This is how the Floor Access Group looks like for 1st Floor:
...
For the card holder that have access to the 1st Floor, this is how his User and Floor Access Groups look like:
...
2.) No separate Floor Access Group
This is a new option implemented in later versions of 10.1 and 9.2c. It reduces database migration effort from older systems such as 9.1, 8.7 and below.
To switch to this mode, in siteEngine.ini, set property “UseFloorAccessGroups” to “no”. Restart the server after update (please note that once this mode is chosen, returning to the old method may require some database clean up).
Once this mode is set, the “Floor Access Group” menu item will disappear from the Access tab:
...
In the above example instead of having one Resident User Access Group and 3 Floor Access Groups; we need 3 Resident user groups, each one covers elevator door access and one floor
...
Each Residents group would have access to Elevator A and Elevator B controlled area:
...
Floor Access is immersed into User Access Group in the second tab labeled “Floor Access and Schedules”. In the “Resident FL 1” User Access Group, it includes access to the first floor for both elevators:
...
When assigning Access Group, the administrator will select a group that will give the card holder access to both elevators and his corresponding floor. Note that in this mode, the Floor Access Group select box is not present.

For more information on Risk Levels see the Alert Level Managementsection.Select a Controlled Area for this group.
Select a Schedule for the Controlled Area. If that controlled area is not going to be accessed by that User Access Group, leave the schedule as Always Off.
If you need an additional line for extra Controlled Areas and/or Schedules, click the + button beside the current line. To delete a line, click the x button.
Click Save.
