Access Card Tracker
Track who has building and suite access — credentials issued, active, and returned — so nobody's stuck in the lobby on day one.
Access Card Tracker
Access problems feel small until the first person is stuck on the sidewalk. The test for opening day is simple: if an employee shows up with no context, can they get from the sidewalk to their seat? This tracker is how you make the answer yes.
What it’s for
To keep tabs on every credential — building cards, suite access, mobile credentials, after-hours rights — so issuance doesn’t slip through the cracks and you’re not improvising lobby access on opening morning.
How to use it
- Get the issuance process from your property manager early — cards often have lead time.
- One row per person or group; mark what level of access each needs.
- Confirm active, not just “ordered,” before opening day.
- Reuse it at offboarding to make sure credentials come back.
The structure
| Person / group | Building access | Suite access | After-hours | Credential issued | Active | Returned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All employees | Card | Card | No | Jun 12 | ✓ | — |
| Workplace lead | Card | Card | Yes | Jun 10 | ✓ | — |
| Cleaning vendor | Building | Suite (after-hours) | Yes | Jun 13 | Pending | — |
Tips
- Active beats issued. A card that exists but isn’t provisioned won’t open a door.
- Plan the lobby for day one. If cards aren’t ready, arrange a staffed check-in so no one’s stranded.
- Close the loop on exits. A “Returned” column turns this into your offboarding record too.
