Managing Driver List

Managing Driver List

Drivers are listed in the alphabetic order. To quickly find a certain driver, use the dynamic filter above the list. There are also filters to display drivers belonging to a certain resource or group or display drivers according to their status (loose/bound). Those filters are presented in the form of dropdown menus above the list.

To display a driver on the map, tick the checkbox on their left. As drivers do not have their own coordinates, they borrow their location from units to which they are assigned. Click on driver's name on the list to center the map on their position. An assigned driver is represented by a small icon at the bottom right corner of unit's icon. If a driver is not attached to any unit at the moment, their last known position is shown (with a bigger icon). If there is no data about driver's location (for example, if they have never been bound to any unit), such a driver is not shown on the map.

 Note that in order drivers to be displayed on the map you should check if the corresponding layer is active.


DDD files received from tachograph contain driver's activity information. Such files can be uploaded automatically (due to the corresponding settings of an equipment), or manually (using 'TachoManager' application). Received information on driver's activity helps to control whether a driver follows the AETR standards or not. Driver's activity is displayed in the tooltip of each driver, and contains the following data:

  • current state (driving, work, availability, rest), and its duration;
  • uninterrupted driving info (time left for driving/exceeded driving time/missed rest beginning, and also the necessary rest duration);
  • driving info for the current shift (time left for driving/exceeded driving time/missed rest beginning, and also the necessary rest duration);
  • week's driving info (time left for driving/exceeded driving time/missed rest beginning, and also the necessary rest duration);
  • two-weeks driving info (time left for driving/exceeded driving time/missed rest beginning, and also the necessary rest duration).

 If there is less than 1 hour left for driving in the current shift or less than 3 hours left for driving in the week or two weeks, the tooltip will contain a warning.

Moreover, the tooltip shows driver's name, phone number, enlarged photo, resource (if there are several), description, and custom fields (if any were set). Moreover a unit name can be shown in a tooltip is a driver is bound to it. You can call a phone number shown in the tooltip by Skype if you have 'Click to Call' plugin downloaded and enabled on your computer. To do so, click a necessary phone number in the tooltip.

If you have Skype on your computer, the phone number is highlighted, and you can make a call if clicking on it.

If a driver is bound to a unit, unit icon is displayed on the right of trailer's name. If you place the cursor over this icon, the unit's tooltip is displayed (the same as in the Monitoring panel).

Several actions can be performed over drivers:
orbind/unbind driver to/from a unit as well as delete incorrect bindings (disabled if not enough access);
 — send SMS to driver (the button is not displayed if the current user does not have enough rights; if the button is dimmed, it means there is no phone number in driver's properties);
or — edit or view driver's properties;
  — create a new driver using this one as a basis;
 — delete driver (the button is dimmed if you have not enough rights).
