– USER’S GUIDE USING WAMS TRANSACTIONS Each time a user accesses the system, WAMS collects a transaction from the reader/portal gateway network. Once the system is signed on and users begin accessing the system, transactions begin including any alarm activity. You can monitor all this activity in WAMS Transactions.
