Drivers

Plan driver availability

Record work, rest, holiday and sick time as timeslots, repeat them on a schedule, remove them and see each driver’s activity timeline.

Updated October 5, 2026

Who can do this: Access to drivers. Creating timeslots from the driver list needs the drivers planner feature.

A timeslot tells planners what a driver is doing or whether they are available in a period. Timeslots appear in the drivers planner and on the driver's Driver activity timeline. Activities received from a tachograph or board computer also appear there.

Timeslot types

Choose one of: Work, Driving, Available, Day off, Rest, Vacation, Holiday, Sick or Unavailable. By default vacation, holiday, sick and unavailable make the driver unavailable for planning; your platform can configure this differently.

Create a timeslot for one driver

  1. Open the side menu (☰) and choose Drivers.
  2. Click + Create timeslot on the driver's row (or right-click the row and choose Plan).
  3. Choose the Timeslot type.
  4. Set the Start date and time and End date and time. The form shows the duration and marks an end on the next day with End is next day (+1).
  5. Optionally add a Description.
  6. To repeat the timeslot, turn on Repetitive and choose a pattern in Select recurrence pattern.
  7. Click Save.

Repeat patterns are Daily, Weekly (with Select days of week), Monthly (with Day of month), Yearly and Rotation (weeks on/off) with Weeks on and Weeks off.

You can also create a timeslot in the drivers planner with Create activity. See Use the drivers planner.

Set availability for many drivers at once

  1. Right-click a driver and choose Set availability, or choose Bulk availability from the options menu in the drivers planner.
  2. Under What should be created, choose Chauffeur timeslot, Recurring calendar event or Todo.
  3. Enter a Title, the Start date & time and the End date & time, and the repeat pattern.
  4. For a timeslot, choose the Activity type. For a calendar event, decide whether it Blocks availability.
  5. Add drivers in Search chauffeur..., or click Filter chauffeurs to select them by type, language, ADR certificate or driver license.
  6. Check the Matched targets preview.
  7. Click Save.

Change or remove a timeslot

  1. Open the drivers planner.
  2. Click the timeslot on the driver's lane.
  3. Change the type, times or repeat pattern in Update timeslot.
  4. Click Save.

To delete the timeslot instead, click Remove at the bottom of Update timeslot and confirm the question Are you sure you want to delete this timeslot?. The button is only shown when your role may delete timeslots.

Timeslots that come from the tachograph show a lock icon. They follow the recorded data and cannot be edited.

The driver activity timeline

Open a driver to see the Driver activity timeline: one day, with lanes for driving, work, available and rest. Use the arrows to move a day back or forward and Today to return to the current day.
