Adding/Editing Log Events in Encompass® ELD for iPhone®/iPad®

 

 

 

 

The ELD Mandate allows drivers the ability to edit today's log, previous days' logs, as well as adding log events. When editing a log, there are two things the driver needs to keep in mind:

  1. If there isn't already a log created for that day, an off duty log will have to be created first before being able to edit the log.
  2. Any automatically recorded driving events are unable to be edited.

 

Tap on the View Log icon from the Encompass® ELD Dashboard.

At the bottom of the screen, tap Edit Log (if this option is not visible, tap on More on the far right)

The driver will then see the edit log screen which will show them their log for that day. 

  • If a previous day needs to have changes made to it, tap the Log Date to change the date.
  • Next to each duty status change, there will be a link to Edit.
  • At the bottom of the list of duty status changes, there will be a link to Add Log Event.

Additionally, the new status will be displayed on the grid in green, denoting that it was an edit made to the log.
