The offsets work together with **Prevent Access Until Checked-in** and **Revoke Access on Check-out**.

## Activity logs

**Activity Logs** is a timeline of every interaction with the lock, each with a timestamp.

| Entry                | Meaning                                                                                               |

| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Automatic** | Made by Guestway for a reservation, when the stay is confirmed, and removed when it ends. |
| **Manual**    | Made by a user on the lock, for cleaners, maintenance or long-term access.                |
| **Fallback**  | A backup code for when automatic codes fail or are not available.                         |

| **Upcoming** | The code works in a future window. |
| **Expired**  | The window has ended.              |

The duration of a code is **Always**, or a window from **Valid From** to **Valid To**. For each code, the eye icon shows the PIN, the menu disables, enables, edits or deletes it, and the last-used time shows when it last opened the door. A used code can show *Code has been used & will be revoked soon.* **Schedule Overview** shows the scheduled access per user or guest.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.guestway.io/reservations-and-operations/smart-locks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
