Operational differences between DriveRight 3.0 and earlier versions
The operation of DriveRight 3.0 is very similar to 2.x, but there are some fundamental changes
that you should be aware of.
 In 2.x the vehicle table contained all the information about a particular DriveRight, in
addition to information on the vehicle. However, in 3.0 a new table was introduced, the
DriveRights table, which stores DriveRight console information. Vehicle information is
stored in the vehicle table, and DriveRight information is stored in the new DriveRights
table. In 3.0 , a DriveRight must be ”r;assigned” to a vehicle. When your old data is
converted, for each vehicle in 2.x a new DriveRight and vehicle is created in the 3.0
database.
Note: A DriveRight is identified using it’s DriveRight ID, and a particular vehicle is identified
using it’s Vehicle ID.
Note: A ”r;relationship” report was added to the program to help clarify the relationship
between vehicles, DriveRights, and drivers.
 The ”r;Set DriveRight” option in 2.06/2.6.1 appears as ”r;View/Set” in the
”r;DriveRight/DriveRight Settings” menu. Unlike 2.06/2.6.1, when changes are made to a
DriveRight using this option, they are also stored in the DriveRight table.
 Adding a new DriveRight to the program can now be done more easily using the Add
New DriveRight wizard which steps you through the process and helps clarify where you
stand with respect to the calibration of the DriveRight.
 You will also notice that every table now has a ”r;location” field. The location field was
added to facilitate ”r;rolling up” of data from many locations so they can be managed in
one database.
