How do I adjust my opening and closing times for Time Access?

Answer:

When initially setting up time blocks, OCS allows for the entry of a common start and end time, as well as a common slot time.  It then applies this start and end time to all groups within the selected site.  Changes for individual days or groups must be made manually. 

To change a start time, end time, or disable a complete day:

Step 1: Run OCS manager 

Step 2: Select the “Manage/Configure Timed Access” button 

Step 3: From the Time Access Menu, select the “Manage Time Blocks” button  

Step 4: Select the “Show All - Active” button to list the currently available slots. 

If No Slots Are Listed:

Step 4a: Select the “Add All – Sites” button 

For User Sessions Minutes, enter the number of minutes for each time slot (e.g. ‘5’ for 5 minute time slots), and enter the start and end time for the sites – this is typically the opening and closing time.  This will assign slots for every day of the week. 

Step 4b: Select ‘OK’, then select the “Show All - Active” button 

Step 5: To change the start and/or end time, select from the list the line item to be changed (i.e. the list is arranged by site, group and day).  Make the changes to the start and end time in the appropriate field, then choose either the “Change Above (single)” button to change the selected line (day) only, or choose the “Change Above (group)” button to change the times for all days for the specified site and group. 

To disable a day (e.g. the site is closed on Sunday), select from the list the line item that corresponds to the correct day, and then choose Disable Day. 

Step 6: Select the “Done” button to save your changes.
