Before You Run the Software
There are software concepts you should become familiar with, and some initial
planning considerations to think about.
Key Concepts: DriveRights, CarChips, Vehicles & Drivers
Your database is a collection of related tables (relational database) that contain
information about your fleet (drivers, vehicles, DriveRights, CarChips,
addresses, etc.). For example, information about a driver in your fleet will be
stored in a single row in the Drivers table. Each column (or field) in a row
stores an attribute about a given driver.
Depending on your application, some tables in the database may be more
important than others, but the following tables are of key importance: the
Company Locations table, the DriveRights table, the CarChips table, the
Drivers table, the Vehicles table, and the Trips table.
• Every record in the database includes the company location. You can only
view records from one location at a time.
• The DriveRights table contains settings and calibration information about
each DriveRight.
• The CarChips table contains settings information about each CarChip.
• The Vehicles table and Drivers table contain information related to your
vehicles and drivers respectively.
• The Trips table contains driving information for each trip.
• View a table by selecting it in the Database Menu.
