Additional Information

Drivers and Their Role

Drivers in GSatTrack are asset operators. The feature set caters primarily to vehicle-related operations, supporting regulatory compliance and facilitating accounting practices for freelancers. Drivers can be assigned to assets and log into them, creating logs that tie their activities to asset operations. This integration allows for advanced reporting and performance monitoring.

Driver Fields

Username and Password: Used for logging in on supported devices.
Duress Password: A unique password allowing drivers to signal emergencies discreetly.
iButton ID and Phone Number: Additional identification and contact information.

Managing Drivers and Status Templates

The Manage Module provides the interface for viewing and managing driver profiles. Administrators can create, edit, and delete drivers and manage their status templates, which streamlines the logging process for drivers.

Driver Status Templates

Templates simplify logging by allowing drivers to select predefined statuses with a single click. Common statuses include active, off duty, resting, delivering, and in distress. Each template can have multiple statuses, and drivers can log their activities against these templates.

Assigning Drivers and Templates

To enable logging, drivers and their status templates need to be assigned to assets. This process involves selecting the desired asset, assigning drivers, and selecting a status template. This setup ensures that all driver activities are accurately logged and reported.

Driver Logging

Once assigned, drivers can log into assets to record their activities. These logs provide a comprehensive view of driver operations, including trip details, duration, and associated notes. Users can view logs and replay trips from the Driver Log within the Asset Details panel.
