Dashboard Guide¶

The DFACS web dashboard is your control center for monitoring access, reviewing logs, and configuring the system.

Access the dashboard from any browser on your local network: https://<dfacs-device-ip>

Dashboard Overview¶

The main dashboard shows the current system state at a glance:

Panel	What It Shows
System Status	API connection, sync status, offline/online indicator
Relay Status	Current lock state (LOCKED / UNLOCKED), door sensor state
Occupancy	Real-time count (if RTE sensors are installed)
Recent Activity	Last few access events (granted / denied)
Member Count	Total members in local database

Access Logs¶

Dashboard → Access Logs

Shows every scan event with:

Timestamp — date and time of the scan
Barcode — the scanned barcode value
Result — GRANTED or DENIED
Reason — why access was denied (if applicable): expired membership, unknown barcode, suspended account, etc.
API Response — confirmation that the check-in was sent to your gym software

Filtering Logs¶

Use the filter controls to narrow results by:

Date range
Result (Granted / Denied)
Reason code

Exporting Logs¶

Click Export to download access logs as a CSV or Excel file for reporting.

Check-in Queue¶

Dashboard → Check-in Queue

Shows check-ins that are queued to be sent to your gym software. In normal operation this is empty — check-ins are sent immediately. When DFACS is offline, pending check-ins accumulate here and are processed when connectivity is restored.

Statistics¶

Dashboard → Statistics

Visual charts showing access patterns over time. Available time ranges:

Last 24 hours
Last 7 days
Last 30 days
Last 12 months
Year to date

Charts include total scans, grant rate, denial breakdown by reason, and peak access times.

Barcode Database¶

Dashboard → Barcode Database

Browse the locally cached member database. Shows all barcodes DFACS knows about, their current status, and the last sync time.

Note

This is a read-only view of the local cache. To add or remove members, make the change in your gym management software — DFACS will sync the change on the next sync interval.

Denied Barcodes¶

Dashboard → Denied Barcodes

A list of barcodes that have been denied access and the reason. Useful for identifying members with account issues or unknown barcodes that may need to be added.

Access Schedules¶

Dashboard → Access Schedules

Create and manage timed door schedules. See Managing Schedules for full details.

Configuration¶

Dashboard → Configuration

All system settings. Protected by a password (default: admin — change this on first setup).

System Tray Console¶

The DFACS system tray icon (DragonFly logo in the Windows taskbar) provides quick access to:

Show/Hide Console — a live log window with color-coded messages
Open Web GUI — launches the dashboard in your browser
Open Logs — opens the log file directory
Exit — stops DFACS (members will not be able to scan in)

The console log can be filtered by severity level (DEBUG / INFO / WARNING / ERROR / CRITICAL) using the checkboxes at the top of the window.
