Planning lists

As you prepare for an installation, make a list of the hardware, software, licenses, names and codes you need. Print out these pages and keep the actual list secure as you work on the system.

The interview

The interview you have with the customer should identify:

  • Which door(s) employees use to routinely enter the building
  • On what days of the week they routinely enter the building
  • During what hours of the day they routinely enter the building
  • Person types
  • Departments
  • Names of supervisor personnel
  • Card formats
  • Facility codes
  • Access rights

You will use this information in advance to prepare the system and create a blank template file in Excel, which the customer can use to provide comma-delimited personnel records. This guide documents how to set up the system and import the collected personnel data.
