To access Driver Management:
1 From the main menu, select: Data > Assets > Drivers.
The following screen appears.
2 Right-click on a selected Driver record and select one of the management options: New, Edit, or Delete. It is also possible to double-click a specific data value record to directly edit that record.

3 Enter information in the fields as needed.

Driver Name: A unique name for this record.
