To set up the double card swipe feature, follow these steps:

1. Go to the specific door details page where you want to activate the double card swipe feature. Edit the door access mode and scroll down to 'Double Swipe' option.
​
​

2. Turn on the "Double Card Swipe" toggle switch and then click on the save button.

Activating this feature allows the door to recognize a double card swipe within a 5-second interval. This action creates a double card event, which can be utilized for IO rule configurations. Note that for the Classroom and Office extended modes to work correctly, this option must be enabled.
​


3. After saving the setting for the reader, navigate to the IO rules page to define the specific actions that should occur when a double card swipe is detected.
