Patrol routes define the recurring schedule, checkpoint order, and guard assignments for a guard patrol. Once you create a route, assigned guards see scheduled instances in the Gate Ops mobile app and scan each checkpoint in order.
Your facility must have the Guard Patrol module enabled, and your account needs the patrol:create permission. The Security Admin system role has full patrol permissions; Estate Manager has full administrative access.

​
Create a patrol route

1

Open Patrol Routes

Go to Security > Patrol Routes and click New route.
2

Enter basic details

Enter a Route name (1 to 255 characters). Then set the schedule and timing fields (see table below for defaults and ranges).
3

Add checkpoints

Add checkpoints in the order guards must scan them. Click Add checkpoint to add more; you cannot delete the last remaining checkpoint. Each checkpoint has a Name (1 to 255 characters), an optional Link to gate, and optional location fields (Latitude, Longitude, Geofence (m)). A geofence is applied only when both latitude and longitude are set; the default radius is 75 meters (range 10 to 2,000). Blank checkpoints are dropped when you save.
4

Assign guards

Use the Assigned guards picker to choose who runs this route. Only active guards are searchable. Remove a guard by clicking the pill next to their name.
5

Save

Click Create route. On success you see Patrol route created. On failure you see Failed to save patrol route.

​
Schedule and timing fields

The route list shows each route’s schedule as Every {interval}m · {active from}–{active until} and its status as Active or Inactive. Each route row has a QR action showing the checkpoint’s QR code. Click Copy payload to copy the QR string. Print and mount the code at the physical checkpoint so guards can scan it during a patrol.
QR payloads use the rekkeh-patrol: prefix. Editing a route keeps existing checkpoint QR tokens, so printed codes stay valid. New checkpoints get new tokens.

​
Edit or delete a route

Use Edit on a route row to change its fields, checkpoints, or guards, then click Save changes. To remove a route, use the delete action and confirm Delete patrol route? — the route and its checkpoint schedule are permanently removed.
Deleting a patrol route permanently removes the route and all its scheduled checkpoint data.
