1. Keys in LivionKey Register

Efficient key management is an essential feature in LivionKey Register. In our system, a "Key" represents the digital counterpart of a physical key.

Keys can be distributed and collected through two methods:

  • Manual Handover: Keys are physically handed over at a designated location.

  • Automated Distribution: Keys are dispensed and returned through LivionKey Automats.

Each key in LivionKey Register has the following properties:

  • Building: The building or location associated with the key.

  • Name: A descriptive name or label for the key (optional).

  • KeyID: A unique identifier for the key within the system.

  • RFID / NFC Hex identifier: Used if the key has an RFID or NFC tag/chip for additional tracking and identification

  • Key storage: Indicates whether the key is stored manually or in a LivionKey Automat.

2. Operate with keys

The "Keys" -view is your central hub for key management. You can enter the view by clicking "Keys" from the menu in the left-side of the page.

2.1 Search for a Key

  • Free text search:

    Search using keywords that match the ID, name of the key, name of the building or the address of the building. Enter the keyword to "Search" -field in top of the page.

  • Filters:

    The search has the following filters which you can use to narrow the search results:

    • Building

    • Contract

    • Status

    • Storage

    • Key automats

    • Keyring

    The filters are below the "Search" -field. Activate the desired filter by clicking it and selecting for the correct option from the drop-down menu. You can search for the options by entering key word to field (e.g. contract ID or building name to corresponding filters).

  • Filter by organization unit:

    You can filter the keys also by selecting the desired organization unit from the "Filter by organization unit" -section.

2.2 Create a new Key

  1. Click "+ Create" in the top right corner of the "Keys" -view

  2. Provide the following mandatory information:

    • Organization unit or building

    • Unique ID for the key

    • Selected storage type and details:

      • "Manual storage" requires a description and current status

      • "LivionKey automat" requires an automat ID and if the key is shared key (can have overlapping contracts)

  3. Optionally provide:

    • A logical name for the key

    • An RFID/NFC identifier if the key has one

  4. Once you have entered information, press “Create”.

2.3 Update the Key

  1. Right-click the Key which you want to modify and select "Update key"

  2. Modify the desired fields (Building, Name, RFID / NFC hex identifier, key storage options)

  3. Once you have done all the changes, click "Save"

2.4 Delete the Key

  1. Right-click the Key which you want to modify and select "Delete key"

  2. Confirm that you want to delete the key.

Important!

  • Once you delete the key, it will be removed permanently and cannot be restored!

  • If the key has active contracts, system asks if you want to delete also the contracts (the contracts will be deleted also permanently)!
