In the module Administration / Cylinders, you have access to the cylinders of the current facility. Here you can create new cylinders, edit existing cylinder data, or delete cylinders.
Please note:The more carefully you work here, the more reporting options you will have later.
Attention:Only works when "Facility" is active (not Building).
In the moduleADMINISTRATION / CYLINDERS click on the toolbar buttonADD RECORD.
The windowCYLINDER
Now you can enter the data for the new cylinder.
The sorting comes from the manufacturer and corresponds to the former row in the locking plan. New sortings are purely numeric, such as 1.00, 2.00 etc. You can change them at any time.
Note:The key number is sometimes also called the locking number or lock and key number.
The total number shows the quantity of individual keys delivered with this cylinder; portier®VISION totals all keys from all deliveries.
The cylinder data in the right section describes the technical cylinder and is always provided by the manufacturer. Some manufacturers, such as ASSA ABLOY, automatically supply this data during XML import.
The installation data is recorded in the lower part of the form.
The tabs at the very bottom are updated automatically by portier during ongoing operations.
In the moduleAdministration / Cylinders display all recorded cylinders of the current facility by clicking the buttonStart Search.
Since this list can become quite long, you can also search specifically for a particular cylinder by entering the first characters of theKEY NUMBER. Perform the search by clicking the buttonSTART SEARCH. Alternatively, you can use the ENTER key. The corresponding cylinders are displayed. Select the desired cylinder and click the buttonEDIT.
Alternatively, you can also double-click on the cylinder;
in both cases, the windowCYLINDER opens. Here click the buttonEDIT. Now you can edit the existing cylinder data
portier VISION allows you to use building plans. You assign a building plan to the cylinder once and portier VISION displays the position of each cylinder in the building plan.
Please note:
You can only use the DXF and DWG formats to assign cylinders to a CAD plan. These formats are supported by all AutoCAD programs.Supported versions can be found here.
