Companies

What Is a Company Used For?

Within one installation, divide the 2N® Access Commander settings into companies to prevent the managers of one company from seeing the users of the other company. This method also enables common building facilities to be shared by multiple companies (entrances, lifts, restaurants, meeting/conference rooms, etc.). 

Company Creation

  1. Select the Company card.
  2. Select Companies – Create (Add button).
  3. Enter Company name and click Create.


Company Card

 

General Settings

  • Company name – edit the company name.
  • Attendance user count (licensed)–  display and modify the count of licences assigned to a company. Thus, you assign all the Attendance licences to the companies.  The assignment is necessary for you to monitor the user attendance in the selected company.
  • Count of available Attendance Monitoring licences – display how many users have active Attendance Monitoring licences.
  • Default language – set the default application language for all of the company users. A new user can change the default language in its profile (if login is created).

Holidays

  • Holidays – set the company holidays for monthly balance computation. The hours worked on holidays are counted as hours worked on weekends (i.e. above the common working hours).
  • Copy holidays – copy holidays from another company. Go to the company to which holidays are to be copied. Copy holidays from another company and select the company from which holidays are to be copied. Just click Save. Holidays are copied including dates and names. You can copy holidays repeatedly, but only the name is rewritten if the holiday to be copied is already listed. If unlisted, the holiday is not added.

Attendance Mode

  • Working days – display a list of working days. 
  • Common working hours – set the common working hours (from - to) for company user attendance balance computation. If you set from 8 a.m. to 4,30 p.m., the working hours include 8 hours plus a 30-minute lunch break. If a user works less than 8 hours and 30 minutes per day, its account will show a negative balance for that day.  

Zones

  • Company zones – assign zones to a company to define the set of facilities to be used by the company users (e.g. the Common space and 4th floor zones, which include the reception entrance door and all 4th floor entrances). One zone can be assigned to multiple companies and one company can be assigned more zones.

Data Import

  • Import of HPROJ file settings – import the basic user/device configuration from earlier 2N® Helios IP Manager versions.
  • User import from device – import users from a selected device. 
  • User import from CSV file – import users and groups from a CSV file.
  • Download sample CSV file – download a sample CSV file for user import. 

 LDAP

LDAP is used for downloading users from an external Active Directory system. Refer to LDAP for more information on how to set up LDAP in 2N® Access Commander.
