See diagram below for description of Office Project design.

• Accessing a Cloud Project from the ‘More’ icon on the far right side of where Office Project is listed:

• When you first initially set up the Office Project, it will activate the Wizard which will then present a series of prompts:

“ An AKUVOX SmartPlus Office site can be divided into multiple companies, each managed separately. This allows you to distribute management responsibilities among the Administrators of these companies. ”

• You can create Companies, assign management permissions on Doors, and set Holiday Schedules.

• You will then be given the option to create an Admin account for each Company. 

• The Admin can manage the Company's Personnel and Access Groups but cannot view data from other companies.

•  Groups can be considered much like Departments, or Teams within a Company.

•  Personnel refers to the people within a Company, and they can belong to multiple Groups.

• Adding a new device and selecting ‘Indoor monitor’ now gives an option ‘Belongs to’ with a drop-down menu for selecting specific Personnel to be assigned the Device.

• A new feature for Property Manager Portal is the Enhanced Access Control Features.

•  Here you will be given the option to set Anti-passback Rules for Access Control.
