Create Schedule
See here for more information about schedule creation.
A schedule is a pre-set plan that automatically downloads tachograph data from your vehicles or drivers at specified times and intervals. By setting a start date, time, and frequency (such as daily), the schedule ensures that data is consistently collected without the need for manual actions.
Click “Get started” to begin.
Vehicle schedules are located on the Vehicles page, while driver schedules are located on the Drivers page.
Since the process is similar on both pages, for this tutorial, select the highlighted “Vehicles” page.
A schedule can be created and edited in the Schedules window at any time, regardless of whether any vehicles or drivers have been added.
Click the highlighted “Schedules” button to continue.
In this screen, you can create, edit, pause, or remove schedules. The first spot is always reserved for the Global schedule, which cannot be removed.
Once a schedule is created, it needs to be applied to selected vehicles or drivers. See the “Apply schedule” tutorial on how to apply schedules.
Click “Next” to continue.
Congratulations, you have successfully learned how to create a schedule.
Next, learn how to apply a schedule to selected items.
