   3. No icon: The event cannot be edited.
5. Audit button: If the log entry has been edited, the audit trail icon will appear. Clicking it will expand the entry to show all edits to the entry with the newest edit at the top.

Drivers using ELD have access to the export function on the tablet when in Roadside View. However, it is possible to export logs from the Ground Traffic Control report to aid a roadside inspection or to produce a hardcopy of logs.

There are two options for exporting: Active Drivers and Inactive Drivers. Both produce the same format logs, but selecting a driver is slightly different for each.

Active Driver Exporting

1. In the Driver List, click the name of the driver to be exported.
   
2. Click the Active Driver Export icon in the upper right, then select the output based on country and need. See Export Options below for more details.
   

Inactive Driver Exporting

As inactive drivers are not visible in the driver list, the Inactive Driver Export allows you to select a driver within the export window.

1. Click the Inactive Driver Export icon in the upper right, then select the output based on country and need. See Export Options below for more details.
   
2. When the export window appears, type the inactive driver's name or part of the name in the provided box. When you press Enter, matching names pop up below the box and can be clicked on.
   

Export Options

FMCSA Output

Use this function if a DOT officer is requesting ELD logs and the driver is unable to provide logs on the tablet.

1. Select the date range (typically the previous 8 days).
2. Select whether to export via Email or Web Services.
   • These options will deliver the logs to a pre-configured FMCSA repository. Either may be used, although the DOT officer may request one or the other.
3. The DOT officer may request that a code or other note be added to the logs. This should go in the Additional Comments field.
4. Once the options are selected, click Export. This will automatically transfer the logs to the FMCSA per ELD regulation.

PDF Export (US)

This will generate a PDF of the selected driver's US ELD logs that can be saved to your computer for archival purposes.

Do not use this option for roadside requests.

1. Select the date range of logs to be exported.
2. Check Show violations to display violations on the PDF (optional).
3. Click Export. The PDF will be generated and made available for viewing or saving.

The Unidentified Driving Trips report shows all trips where the identity of the driver cannot be 100% verified due to various reasons, including the driver not being logged in at the start or the tablet being disconnected while the vehicle is in motion. These trips are displayed in this report, listed by asset. Options exist to assign trips to drivers if known, or to excuse them with a "No Driver" reason.

A trip is defined from the moment the vehicle begins moving after the engine is turned on to the next time the engine is turned off. If reading drive events from a Path export, this is the first Motion Start after a Power On to the next Power Off.

1. Trip List: Displays all unidentified driving trips, sorted by date. Click one to view details for that trip.
2. Trip Details: Displays information about the trip, which may be used to determine which driver made the trip. See below for more information.

Trip Details

Assign Unidentified Driving Trip

If the dispatcher knows which driver is responsible for a trip, or if no driver is responsible for a trip (for example, a mechanic drove the truck within the yard without logging into the ELD), this section may be used to assign the trip as needed.

1. Assign to: Select the desired option:
   • Driver: If the trip belongs to a particular driver, select this option, then click on the Driver line. Begin typing the driver's name, and a list containing matching names will appear. Select the desired driver.
   • No Driver Reason: If no driver is responsible for the trip, select this option, then click the Select Reason dropdown. This dropdown will be populated with pre-defined reasons. Select the most appropriate reason.

     You can define custom No Driver Reasons by going to the Manage tab at the top of Ground Traffic Control, then under Drivers select No Driver Reason.

2. Notes: Enter any relevant notes on why this trip is being assigned to the selected driver or reason.

When finished, click the Send to Driver or Assign to No Driver Reason button.

If assigned to a driver, the trip will not appear in the driver's logs until they have accepted the trip.

Some events cannot be included in a complete trip. For example, if a driver turns on a vehicle before logging into the ELD, this is considered an unidentified driving event, but is not part of a trip. These do not need to be assigned to a driver, but may still be visible and accessed during a roadside inspection. Events may optionally be categorized under No Driver Reasons if desired.

1. Event List: Displays all unidentified driving events, sorted by date. Click one to view details for that event.
2. Event Details: Displays information about the event. See below for more information.
3. Assign Event: Displays actions that may be taken to assign the event to a "No Driver" reason. See below for more information.
