EVVA has upgraded its electronic access control system Xesar. "The EVVA developers have given Xesar 3.0 a total upgrade and equipped it with Service Pack 1,” said Erich Gärtner, Head of the Xesar Product Management department.

With Service Pack 1, it is now even easier for EVVA partners and Xesar users to manage their facilities. It equips Xesar with a huge range of new features, while also making the system considerably more intuitive to use.

User-friendly features

"The new upgrades are all based on our principle of simple and intuitive operation. Our main objective was to make the new features as simple as possible for the user," according to Gärtner. One of the most important new features is, for example, that software updates can be run while the system is being serviced, saving time.Filter settings that need to be used repeatedly can be saved as presets in the user data

The help messages are also new. They are displayed by clicking on question marks that are highlighted in yellow and can be hidden again with a click, without completing disappearing. They can answer questions about operating the device and explain particular input boxes, lists or fields.

It is also now even easier to manage lists in the system: "For me, the filter preset function is one of the most user-friendly innovations," Gärtner said. Filter settings that need to be used repeatedly can be saved as presets in the user data. The number of presets is unlimited and they can be changed at any time.

Automatic backups

"There will now be automatic backups when you start and stop the system in the installation manager," Gärtner explained. You can specify a time for a backup to be performed every dayYou can, however, also specify a time for a backup to be performed every day or you can still run a backup manually. An automatic backup is performed before every update, which makes data loss almost impossible. It is especially easy to organise user groups.

With Xesar 3.0, user groups can now be organised easily and can be customised according to your requirements. Existing user groups can be copied, altered and assigned either only read permission or full write permission. "All in all, top-notch service! The more than 25 other functions, which I could not list here, are proof of this," said Gärtner.
