How to add a New Host and Access Card
NB - It is easier to add a card number to a record if you copy it from the event log BEFORE opening the add/edit Visitor record screen!
- Open Semieta Software Suite and login.
- Click on ‘Staff’ in the top left-hand corner.
- Click ‘Add’ on the bottom-left of the window and enter the needed details for your new host / staff member in the ‘Add New Staff’ window.
- To add 'Company', click on the green arrow next to 'Company' and type the company name into the search bar. Click 'search', click on the company to highlight in blue and then 'Select' in the bottom-right hand corner of the window.
- The fields in bold are the mandatory fields.
- Click Capture for a photo (if needed), or import a file from a folder.
6. Set the ‘Badge Style’ from the drop-down in the ‘Badge’ area on the lower left-hand side. The default for this is 'STAFF.crd'.
7. Click the second tab 'Access Control', and then swipe their new card over the usb take-on reader (that is, the desktop card reader) if you have one, or if you know the number you can enter in manually by typing into the field. This number can be found by swiping the card at a door reader and looking at the Event Log in the 'Access Control' section, and can be copied in advance from the event log by right-clicking on the token number and selecting 'Copy Selected Cell Text'.
8. From the drop-down on the right-hand side, select the access control group that you wish the cardholder to be added to, and then click 'Save and Close' at the bottom-right of the window.
9. Test the card to check that it works on the nearest (authorised) reader. You should see 'Access Granted' in the event log, and the name of the person who the card has been assigned to in the 'Visitor' column.
