Access control

Relay list

Start from the relay list to find the correct relay and understand its current status before opening its detail tabs.

Last updated 2026-03-28

The relay list is the starting point for all work in the Access control module. It shows every relay configured for your organisation and lets you quickly identify which relay to open for further action.

What you see on this page

The relay list displays one row per relay. Each row shows:

  • Relay name -- the descriptive label assigned to the relay, such as "Main hangar door" or "South apron gate"
  • Active status -- whether the relay is currently enabled for use by pilots

An active relay can be triggered from the Pilot App. An inactive relay is visible to administrators but will not respond to trigger attempts.

How to use the relay list

Finding the correct relay

  1. Open Access control from the admin platform.
  2. Scan the list for the relay you need. Use the relay name to identify the correct physical access point.
  3. If you have many relays, look for keywords that match the location or resource you are working with.

Checking relay status

  1. Look at the active status column for the relay in question.
  2. If the relay shows as active, it is available for pilots to trigger from the Pilot App.
  3. If the relay shows as inactive, pilots will not be able to use it. To change this, open the relay and go to the Configuration tab.

Opening a relay for detailed work

  1. Select the relay from the list.
  2. The relay detail view opens, giving you access to the following tabs:
  3. Choose the tab that matches the task you need to complete.

Common tasks

  • Confirm a relay is operational -- find the relay in the list and verify its active status is on. If a pilot reports problems despite the relay being active, continue to the Access log for more detail.
  • Identify which relay controls a specific door or gate -- scan the relay names in the list. If names are unclear, update them through Configuration to prevent confusion in the future.
  • Decide where to go next -- the relay list is a navigation aid. Once you have identified the correct relay, open it and move to the appropriate tab for your task.

Good practice

  • Keep relay names clear, specific, and operationally meaningful. Names like "Gate 3 - North apron" are far more useful than "Relay A" when multiple people manage access.
  • Use the relay list as your starting point every time. Jumping directly to a relay detail page without confirming you have the right relay can lead to changes on the wrong access point.
  • Periodically review the full list to confirm that all relays reflect your current facility layout. Remove or deactivate relays that no longer correspond to physical access points.
  • When onboarding new administrators, walk through the relay list together so they understand which relay maps to which physical location.
