Roll Call
Roll Call quickly generates a personnel list based on entry records within a specific time and place. When an emergency occurs, the system can determine whether a user has arrived at the roll call location by authenticating through the entry or exit device at a predesignated location.
Can be used for emergency response, safety checks, and providing rescue team information. This allows for efficient management of personnel status utilizing entry and exit records.
Roll call settings can be used through an add-on option with an Essential license or higher. For more information on licensing policies, see License Policy.

Setting options guide
The details for roll call settings are as follows.
-
Mode: You can check the scope of application. Roll call settings are supported only in Global mode, and can be configured for all devices registered in BioStar X.
-
Enabled/Disabled: You can activate or temporarily deactivate the settings.
-
Include On-Site Users Only: Set to Use. The system locks roll call targets to users who last authenticated at an on-site entry device when roll call starts. The default is Not Use. In this case, all configured users (user groups and individual users) become roll call targets.
The system determines whether each user is on site based on authentication records from on-site entry or exit devices within the last 7 days. If the most recent authentication before roll call starts occurred at an on-site entry device, the system considers the user on site. If it occurred at an on-site exit device, the system considers the user off site. The system considers users without authentication records within the last 7 days off site and excludes them from the target list.
The target list is finalized only once when roll call starts, and it does not change if users enter or exit while roll call is in progress.
The following options are available when Include On-Site Users Only is set to Use.
