# Access Control Schedule Management

A door access schedule lets you decide who can open the door and when. It applies to both individuals and groups, ensuring that users within the schedule can only open the door using the authorized method during designated time periods.

## Create a Door Access Schedule

To configure the schedule, navigate to the web **Setting > Schedule** interface. Click +Add. You can add 500 schedules or more.

You can also set up the schedule on the **Setting > Basic Setting > Schedule** screen.

- **Mode**:
  - **Normal**: Set the schedule based on the month, week, and day. It is used for a long-term schedule.
  - **Weekly**: Set the schedule based on the week.
  - **Daily**: Set the schedule based on 24 hours a day.
- **Name**: Name the schedule.
- **Holiday Exemption**: The [holiday schedule](/v1/docs/door-access-schedule-management-11#holiday-schedule) has higher priority over the access schedule, which limits users from opening doors. If users want to open doors during holidays within the access schedule, you need to check this option.

Set it up on the **Setting > Schedule** interface. The import/export file is in .xml format.
