  1. Go to ConsoleSecurityVehiclesKnown and barred and select Add a vehicle.

  2. Enter the Plate, and add the Make and model and Colour if you like.
  3. Under Known or barred, choose Known: let it in or Barred: stop it.
  4. For a known vehicle, say Whose it is: The person (optional) from your directory, or Or in words (optional), such as "Company van".

  5. For a barred vehicle, give Why it's barred.
  6. Choose its Sites (none ticked means every site) and select Add it, or Bar this plate for a barred one.

Good to Know

  • When a barred plate comes to the gate, the guard sees it in red and security is told at once.
  • If someone in charge says let it in anyway, the guard records their name and role, and the audit trail keeps it.
  • Under At the gate, choose A photo of each vehicle: No photo, Offer a photo or Always a photo.
  • To stop a person rather than a car, use the watchlist.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • A barred vehicle should be allowed again. Open it and select Unbar. The gate lets it in like any other vehicle from then on.
  • A known vehicle isn't recognised. Check the plate was typed exactly, and that the gate's site is ticked.
  • A vehicle is no longer yours to know. Select Remove. Its past entries stay in the log.
