Add Users with the Global Users Screen
Overview
The
Global Users
screen is used to enter all User information.
Users can be assigned to specific locks and assigned to Groups
within locks. All Basic Users are entered here as well as the Level
Assignment for DL3000/2800 locks. User lists can be imported from
other DL-Windows Accounts or from comma delimited formatted lists.
Administrative Users can be accessed through the
Global Users
screen via the
Add Administrative Users
button. Please see page
29 for the
Global Users
screen layout and field descriptions.
Add Users and User Codes
As shown in the image below, type the first and last name of a User
in the
User Information Fields
, and enter the remaining personal
information as needed. Note that the names entered in the
First
Name
and
Last Name
fields also appear in the
User Name
list.
Note:
A specific PIN Number ("User Code") may be typed in the
Pin
No.
field for each User --or-- random User Codes may be auto-
generated for one or many Users by right-clicking in the
User Name
list. In addition, a
Custom Field
(located under the
Pin No.
field)
allows a customized field of up to 15 characters. This field is set in the
Options
screen (click the
Opt
button) and once changed remains
identical for all locks in all Accounts.
Note:
The
ID
column in the
User Name
list is used for identifying
Users
in this screen only
and is NOT associated with positions in
the
Lock Data
screen. For this reason, if displaying these
numbers is confusing, this column may be hidden using the
Options
screen (see page 41 for more information).
The
LockID Grid
displays LockID numbers and is color-coded to
describe the state of the selected User:
•
Green = User entered in the lock and enabled
•
Red = User entered in the lock but disabled
•
White = User not in the lock
Double-click on a
LockID Grid
number
to cycle through the colors of the
LockID number (from
white
to
green
to
red
and back to
white
) thus adding,
disabling or removing a User as
needed. In this way, the
LockID Grid
can be used to add a User to any lock
in an Account. One or multiple Users
can also be added to one or more locks
via the right-click menu in the
User
Name
list.
Select a Range of Users
To select a range of Users, click to select the first User, press and hold
the
SHIFT
key, then click the last User in the range (you can also
press
CTRL
and click individual Users). Within the range of Users
highlighted, right-click in the highlighted area to display the menu
shown above. Click a selected action in the menu to perform the
action for the selected Users.
Random User Code Generation
Random User Codes may be generated for one or many Users.
(
Note:
To avoid User Number conflicts, it is recommended to first
assign specific User Codes to Users before selecting random User
Code generation). To generate random Codes, press and hold the
CTRL
key, click the right arrow ("
►
") located to the left of the
User
Name
to select each User(s), then right-click and select “
Generate
Selected New Codes
”. You can select a range of Users (as
described above) and click
Generate All New Codes
to create new
codes for all Users.
Adding a User to a Group/Level
In the Global Users Screen, select a range of Users or click individual
Users as described in the section "
Select a Range of Users
" (above),
then click the
Set Group Assignment
button to display this screen:
In the above dialog, rows represent Groups and columns represent
locks (the number above each column is the LockID number).
Double-click in the grid to add the User to a Group in a single lock
(hold down the
Ctrl
key to allow single-click entry). To save time,
check the appropriate check box to add the User to the same Group
in all locks. When finished, click
Add Selected Users to These
Groups
to add the selected Users to the Groups highlighted in
green. The same procedures apply to the
Set Level Assignment
button and
Set Level Assignment For User
screen (note that
Levels
are only associated with the DL3000 and DL2800 locks).

The
