Adding doors to areas

2024-08-07Last updated

Before you can submit access requests or invite visitors, you must add the doors to the associated areas that Genetec ClearID™ automatically created in Security Center SaaS.

Before you begin

Create your areas.

What you should know

Only Genetec™ Configuration desktop users with the View door properties privilege can add doors to areas in Security Center SaaS that are associated with areas in ClearID.
  • When an area is created in ClearID, areas are automatically created in Security Center SaaS.
  • Doors must then be added to the associated areas that are automatically created in Security Center SaaS.
Doors that are members of an area can be configured as Captive or Perimeter doors:
  • Perimeter doors are used to enter and exit an area, and help to control access.
  • Captive doors are used within an area.
Set the door sides correctly to ensure that People counting and antipassback are properly tracked. A door’s Entrance and Exit sides are relative to the area being configured.

Procedure

  1. In Genetec Configuration desktop, open the Area view task.
  2. Select an area and then click the Properties tab.
  3. In the Doors section, click Add an item () and select the doors that you want to link to your area.
  4. For all doors in the Doors section, configure the door type:
    • If the door is used to enter or exit the area, set the slider to Perimeter.
    • If the door is located inside the area, set the slider to Captive.
      Note: If a smaller area is nested inside a larger area, you don’t need to add the perimeter doors of the smaller area as captive doors of the larger area. The system automatically organizes nested areas when calculating people counts and applying antipassback rules.
    • To swap the door sides, select the door and click Swap door side.
  5. Click Apply.
Your doors are now added to the areas in Security Center SaaS that are associated with ClearID areas.

After you finish

In ClearID, you can now submit access requests or invite visitors.
