How can I view the Lockbox Access Log?

Agents can view their access log via the SentriLock app, there is a button on the home page to select the access log and it shows the access logs across all of their listings on a day by day basis. To look at a specific log for a specific lockbox, you would view that from the website.
*If no activity is showing in the access log for a lockbox, it could be that the showing agent accessed the lockbox with poor cellular connection and it did not get reported due to low data connectivity. However, any access after the initial one would pull previous accesses.

*An agent can add their cell phone number under homeowner notifications to receive a notification after a showing via the message center in the app or via email depending on the settings.

When you release a shackle and it steps you through the wizard to assign the Lockbox to a listing, after it is assigned, there is an option for more settings. In the more settings section, it asks you to enter homeowner notifications. Alternatively, if you already have a property assigned to a listing, you can go to My Lockboxes in the app and select Property Access Settings and enter it there as well.
