Drivers Management

The main objective of creating a digital representation for the driver on the AVL system is to enable full control with all ease. This section allows you to manage drivers by performing various tasks, such as importing new drivers, assigning them to users, creating driver groups, and more.

Importing Drivers

‣

To streamline the process and avoid adding drivers manually one by one, users can import them in bulk by following these steps:

1. Click the icon located in the drivers table header.
2. Select a .csv or .xlsx and press upload.

3. Click Ok.

Accessing Drivers

To manage user access rights to drivers and enable users to utilize AVL capabilities, the admin has two methods:

‣

Access Tab

1. For a new driver, click the + icon, then navigate to the Access tab. For an existing driver, click the icon in the corresponding driver's row and proceed to the Access tab.
2. Select the users to whom you want to grant access.

Extra Icon

‣

Assigning To Users

2. Select the user(s) to whom you want to grant access, then press the Assign Users button.

‣

Unassigning From Users

1. Click the icon located in the table header of the respective tab.
2. Select your desired export format, such as XLS, XLSX, or CSV, depending on your analysis needs.

Force Logout

Deleting Drivers

‣

Users can delete drivers by following these steps:

1. Select the Delete icon in the corresponding driver's row.
2. Click the List Trashed icon in the table header of the respective tab. From there, items can be permanently deleted or restored using the Delete or Restore icons available in the action column of each item.

Users can organize added drivers into groups based on specific criteria. Groups also enable admin users to assign access rights to multiple drivers simultaneously. However, the group creator must have access rights to all drivers included in the group.

Creating Groups

Next to each group name, the number of drivers assigned to it is displayed. To view the list of drivers, click the icon next to the group .

Using Groups

• Driver groups enable more efficient reporting by organizing multiple drivers into logical groups, simplifying data analysis and report generation. By grouping related drivers, you can generate comprehensive reports for an entire group instead of handling individual drivers separately. This feature enhances clarity and saves time when managing large datasets.
• Driver groups also allow you to streamline access management by granting users access to multiple drivers at once, rather than assigning / unassigning drivers individually.
