Area Access Manager

OnGuard Area Access Manager is a business productivity solution that enables authorized managers to control cardholder access to specific physical areas. A manager need only log in to the Area Access Manager application using a standard desktop PC or browser. OnGuard Area Access Manager displays a list of areas over which the manager has control, as well as a list of all personnel who have access to those areas. The manager can then assign or remove the access rights of employees to areas within his or her operational domain.

OnGuard DataExchange

OnGuard DataExchange is an advanced data import/export application. DataExchange can be utilized in several ways. At initial population of the cardholder database, DataExchange facilitates database-to-database (ODBC) or flat-file data import from a human resources database (such as Oracle, PeopleSoft, or SAP) . DataExchange can be configured to handle continual updates to/from these systems, reducing input time and allowing OnGuard to adhere to predefined corporate business rules. Export scripts can also be configured to communicate from OnGuard to other third-party systems, such as time & attendance and meal systems.

Using DataExchange you can import data into the OnGuard database or export data from the database. Data can either be in the form of database tables or a variety of text files including fixed length or delimited ASCII, Unicode and Big Endian text files.

Different options under the DataExchange menu allow you to configure a variety of actions, expressions and conditions to execute during data exchange.

A minimum of sixteen pages are supported to design cardholder screens with standard and custom fields.
