Access Card Acknowledgement

The access card acknowledgement records the issue of a swipe or proximity card that opens doors, turnstiles or restricted zones. Unlike an ID card form, it lists the access zones and hours granted and sets rules against tailgating and card sharing, because access logs are used for security and attendance.
