Getting Started

If you have just installed the Akiles system in your first property, it is highly recommended that you follow the steps shown in our first video tutorial. In it we show you how to open doors remotely from the Administration Panel and how to create your first access permission for yourself, with unlimited access to all your assets, without time or geolocation restrictions.

For more advanced features, you have the following video. In it we review all the sections of the Administration Panel and explore all its functionalities:

Below, we explain the basic concepts of Akiles.

• Members. From here you can create digital keys and send them to whoever you want so that your employees, customers, family members or friends can access the spaces you wish. You can choose between sending the invitation by email or through “Magic Link”. Additionally, you can also configure the start and end date of the digital key, so that its use will only be valid during those dates.

  In the following section you will find more details about Members.

• Groups. From here you can create sets of access permissions that will be shared by all Members that belong to a certain group. You can associate Gadgets (mechanism that can be activated with an Akiles device), Schedules and even Geolocation restrictions to the group. This functionality is very useful when you have groups of people with different access permissions for the same space (such as cleaning staff, guests, or employees of different categories, among others).

  In the following section you will find more details about Groups.

• Sites. In this section you can edit the information of all the sites where you have Akiles installed for access and limit opening by geolocation. You can also add additional information, such as an email or phone number, so that it appears in the App or Web App to all Members who have access to the site.

  In the following section you will find more details about Sites.

• Devices. Here you can view all the Akiles devices you have installed in the different sites of your organization. From this section you can perform remote openings, check the battery status of the devices, as well as their connectivity status (Online or Offline). If the device appears as Offline, it means it cannot connect to the Akiles Cloud due to lack of Internet or batteries.

  In the following section you will find more details about Devices.

• Alerts: In this section you can check the active Alerts in your organization. These alerts can be due to Low battery (-15% battery) or Device offline. In the case of a low battery alert, an immediate battery change is recommended. In the case of Device offline, clicking on the alert will show you why it is disconnected and instructions on how to fix it.

• Schedules. From here you can create as many access time slots as you want. Once you have created these schedules, you can associate them with a certain Group. For example, in a Group created for cleaning staff, you can limit access to the Schedule that you have previously configured.

  In the following section you will find more details about Schedules.

• Logs. In this section you can check who, when and where a member has accessed. The information will always be updated in real time, and you can filter by Member, Date and Time and Site, among others. In this section you can also see all the edits made by administrators.

  In the following section you will find more details about Logs.

• API. Through our public API you can implement the functionalities of all the services that Akiles offers you in your own applications or in third-party applications.

  All API documentation is available at API Documentation.

• Administrators. In this section you can manage the different roles available for users of the Administration Panel.

  If you want to know more about how to manage roles, go to Administrators.
