Driver Identification Retain Policy

If historical reports show your current driver's name instead of who actually drove, set the Driver Identification Retain Policy — it controls whether a driver's name resets or carries forward across trips.

Cause and fix

My historical fleet reports display my current drivers name. How could I resolve this?

Driver identification retain policy is a feature in the platform that helps to retain the driver name in historical data and reports.

There are 3 modes for setting driver identification retain policy viz.,

a) None: The previous driver’s name will be reset (with new) once a new trip is started (with or without ibutton).

*Newly assigned driver’s name for swiped id will be displayed if the swipe is received within 20 secs

b) Reset on ignition off: In this mode, the driver name will be reset once the vehicle’s ignition is switched off.

*Driver name will reflect only if the next trip is started with an ibutton swipe

c) Always carry forward: In this case, the driver name is reset each time a new ibutton swipe is detected.

*Ignition on/off will not affect driver name in reports
