Two ways to add one
- Invite Driver from /admin/drivers — emails them a link to set their own password, phone, and licence number. The link is good for seven days. This is the tidier option.
- New driver from /admin/drivers/new — you fill in everything, including a temporary password you then pass to them. Use this when you are entering an existing roster.
What to set on a driver
- Profile: name, photo, phone, licence number and expiry.
- Weekly shifts: the hours they normally work. Dispatch uses these to warn you when you assign outside them.
- Pay rate, or leave it to fall back on the rates at /admin/pricing/pay-rates.
- A default vehicle, if they always drive the same car.
Day to day
- Drivers request time off from their own app; blocks also appear on their profile for you to add directly.
- Their trip history is on the driver's profile, sortable by date, status, distance, or fare.
- You can generate a temporary password from their profile if they are locked out.
- Deactivating a driver asks for a reason and keeps their history intact. Use it instead of deleting.
