Setting a Guest's Entry Schedule

Setting a Guest's Entry Schedule

A guest's or vendor's access is defined on the Access step of the creation wizard — and can be changed later by editing them (see "Editing or Removing a Guest"). This article covers the access period and the optional day-and-hour schedule.

Dated or permanent

First, decide how long the access lasts:

• Dated access — set a Start Date and End Date. Once the end date passes, the guest can no longer enter. If your guest is staying longer than planned, come back and extend the end date.
• Permanent access — tick "This is a permanent guest" (or vendor) for ongoing access with no start or end date. See "Making a Guest or Vendor Permanent" for details.

The advanced schedule

Open "Advanced schedule (optional)" on the Access step to narrow access within the period:

• Allowed days — choose which days of the week the guest may enter.
• Daily hours (optional) — additionally limit entry to a time window on those days.

A schedule is useful for recurring visitors — for example, a house cleaner allowed only on weekdays, or help that comes during business hours.

What happens outside the schedule

A guest outside their schedule isn't removed from your list — instead, gate staff can see they're outside their allowed times:

• At a staffed gate, guests outside their schedule are flagged and grayed out for gate staff.
• When a guest's entry QR code is scanned in Mission Control, an out-of-schedule guest produces a warning for the attendant instead of being selected automatically.

If a guest's plans change, edit their schedule rather than leaving notes only — the schedule is what gate staff see flagged at the gate.
