Overview of activity

About

Activity details different types of events that are taking place within your installation. In this section of Homelok, you can see when a user was created or who unlocked a door, for example.

Information shown

The activity screen shows a list of events ordered by the day and time at which they occurred. You can use the Filter button to search for events within a specific time frame or apply other filters like Access granted, Access denied, Door closed or System.

Activity details different events that happen in your installation, like a door being unlocked, for example

Event details

Each event type in the activity section provides specific details relevant to that event. For example, Door unlocked will specify which user unlocked which door and the type of key used. An Access denied event will provide reasons for the denial, such as an expired key or lack of access rights.

To view more details about a specific event, you can click on the individual event. When you hover over, an arrow displays on the event entry in the activity list.

Types of activity

Activity is broadly composed of two types of events: system and device events.

System events

System events are generally events that are triggered by user actions within the software. The users who trigger these events have management roles in Homelok, like other property managers. System events can also be automatically triggered by the system without user intervention.

These events include information about who performed the action - for example, which property manager created a user or assigned a key. This provides an audit trail of administrative changes made to your system.

Here are some examples:

• User created/updated/deleted/blocked
• User's access modified
• User assigned a type of key
• Access created/updated/deleted
• Number of doors added to/removed from an access

Device events

Device events are events that take place within your installation and are generally produced by electronic locks and their associated doors. These events are produced on the whole by users who are holders of keys and using those keys to gain access to your installation.

Unlike system events, device events do not include information about who performed administrative actions, as they represent physical access attempts and door status changes made by users in the installation.

Here are some examples:

• Door unlocked by a user
• User denied access to a door (with specific reasons such as expired key, insufficient access rights, or outside permitted schedule)
• Door left open (requires a contact sensor to be fitted)
• Door forced open (requires a contact sensor to be fitted)
• Door closed (requires a contact sensor to be fitted)
• Access granted by controllers

Unit activity

As a property manager, you can see activity that corresponds to an individual unit in the Activity tab within that specific unit. You can also see installation events relating to unit activity in the main activity section of Homelok. Here are some examples of the types of unit events that are displayed in the main installation activity section:

• Unit created
• Unit moved in
• Unit moved out
• Unit deleted

These types of events are not reflected in the unit-specific activity section. See also the section on unit activity for more details.

All activity

See the activity event list page for a full list of all the possible event types that can display in Homelok.
