Mobile Page

mobile tab

The Mobile page lets you enter configuration information for drivers who are equipped with the Verizon Connect® WorkPlan™ mobile application. This information must be entered before you can take advantage of hours-of-service reports or mobile messaging. All or some of the following driver mobile options might be available, depending upon your account configuration.

Note that many of the features below include the option "Use Account Default (Default Value)"; for example, Use Account Default (English - US). This option selects the global default value configured for that setting by the account administrator (specified by clicking the signed-in account name in the upper right corner of the platform interface to open the settings menu, clicking Settings, then selecting the Mobile Defaults tab).

If the global value is changed at any time, the individual driver accounts that use these default values are updated to reflect this new setting when the drivers sign in again.

If your account includes support for the Hierarchy, mobile settings for drivers who have been assigned to a vehicle can also be configured from the Hierarchy interface. Select the node that contains the driver, choose the Drivers tab from the right panel, highlight the driver in the list and click Edit. The Edit Driver dialog box opens, allowing you to edit their account settings.

If the "driver" you are editing is actually a mechanic, you also need to assign the driver a tag with the name "mechanic" and ensure that the driver's base location (on the details page) is the same as the base location for the vehicles this mechanic is servicing.

GPS Tracking

Specify whether location tracking using the mobile web device (for example, smart phone or tablet) is on or off. Turn this setting off, if the mobile user is using WorkPlan as an ELD, or if the vehicle is equipped with a tracking hardware unit, so that the GPS points do not interfere with the points saved from the hardware unit.

Show Vehicle Selection At Login

Specify if drivers will be asked to select a vehicle immediately after signing in to their device, if not already assigned. If set to "Off", the Show Vehicle Selection On Home Screen option should be turned "On".

Show Vehicle Selection On Home Screen

Must Unassign Vehicle At Logout

When set to "Off", the vehicle is not unassigned, which is useful when drivers use features that do not involve driving or Job-related activities, such as reviewing scores in Verizon Connect® Coach™.

Jobs

Specify whether Jobs are enabled or disabled in the application for this driver. When enabled, the Jobs menu option is available from the Home screen.

Driver Initiated Status

Use this control to select how much time before the violation occurs the warning should be displayed. Available range is 5 minutes to 180 minutes.

Show Time Remaining on Status Change

Enable or disable a warning popup that opens when an HOS status is changed, indicating the time remaining in the new status before a violation occurs.

Allow Switch from Off Duty to Driving

Show Sensor Failures

Enable or disable the display of a sensor status message. When set to "On", a Sensor indicator is displayed in the lower right corner of the Hours of Service home screen. Following initialization, the background of this indicator text changes to reflect a pass/fail device sensor status (green background color for a pass, red background color if a fault is detected). Currently this check is for GPS quality/lock for vehicles not equipped with VaaH, or poor data quality for vehicles equipped with VaaH.

Can Use Non-CDL Short-Haul Exemption

Enable or disable the ability to use the non-CDL short-haul exemption within WorkPlan. If enabled, the driver can enable or disable the non-CDL short-haul exemption, which applies different HOS rules, if drivers drive a vehicle that does not require a commercial drivers license, stay within a 150 air-mile radius of a specific location and return to that location after each shift.

Can Use General Exemption

Enable or disable the ability to use the general exemption within WorkPlan. If this is enabled, you must provide a General Exemption Reason.
