Door log: 30 days, not an attendance record
Every door action is logged, but the link to a person drops after 30 days. The log serves security, not attendance control.
Selfdesk logs every door action in your space: opening and locking, successes and failures. After 30 days the link to the person is removed automatically. Door, time and outcome remain as anonymous statistics. The log is a security log and explicitly not a record of attendance.
| What | How it is logged |
|---|---|
| Door opened | with person, door, time and outcome |
| Door locked | the same, under the same rules |
| Failed attempt | yes, failures are the part with security value |
| Lock state read | no, that touches the lock, not the person |
| Repeat within seconds | no, a held button would otherwise flood the log |
What you do not get from it:
- No filter by person. There is no view called "every opening by X".
- No CSV export of door events. The booking list has one, the door log does not.
- No view further back than 30 days. In Activity, the Doors filter reaches exactly as far as the link to a person exists.
Further cases:
- Remove a member from the space and their door rows stay. The name drops away after 30 days, as for everyone. That way an incident can still be cleared up after the person has left.
- Door log at a door shows the events of that door only, also no more than 30 days back.
- A member keeps their own full history.
- A nightly run removes the links to persons. See What is stored, and for how long.
- When a company takes its employees along as co-users, a permanently named door log would be an employer watching their staff. That is another reason it does not exist.
