How to Create a Driver
Drivers Panel
iFleet platform provides a possibility to create and manage the list of drivers working for you. One click of a mouse can assign driver to a vehicle. Then in the reports on this unit, a driver will be indicated. It is particularly useful when several drivers work with the same unit (it is reasonable with long-distance truck drivers and truckers). There is also a possibility to detect drivers automatically with the help of RFID or BLE Tag system. Moreover, created drivers can be formed into groups.
How to Create a Driver
In the corresponding monitoring panel choose the Drivers Panel, click the 'New' button, and indicate required parameters.
Parameter | Description |
Name | Give driver a name that will be visible during the tracking process and in reports. |
Code | Enter unique driver code needed to identify the driver if an automatic method of binding through RFID and BLE Tag will be used. Codes of different drivers should be different. |
Description | Type any comments (optional). It is shown in driver's tooltip. |
Phone Number | Enter driver's phone number. It will be shown in driver's tooltip and can be used to send SMS messages to the driver and make calls. Note that drivers with the same phone numbers cannot exist in the system. If you attempt to create a driver with a phone number that is already reserved to another driver or unit, a special alert will be displayed, and this phone number will not be saved. |
Mobile Key | Password for mobile authorization. |
Exclusive | If this is enabled, this driver can be the only one assigned to a unit. In case you bind this driver to a unit (in real time) which already has one or more assigned drivers, those drivers will reset automatically. |
Photo | To quickly identify a driver, you can attach their photo or any other image. To do this, press the Browse button and find and load an image from the disk. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, GIF, and SVG. In the driver's editing dialog you can delete an image used. To do so, point a cursor on it, and click the appeared delete button. Click OK to save changes, or Cancel to dismiss them. |
Custom Fields | Create driver's card adding any information as custom fields (information may include external links). They are shown in driver's tooltip and can be summoned in reports. Note that custom fields with the same name cannot coexist within one particular driver. |
At the end click OK. The new driver appears in the list.
