Edit a driver safely

Follow this guide to update driver details without losing document or assignment history. The guide then takes you through the correct route, the checks to complete before making changes, the workflow in order, and the evidence to review afterwards.

What you’ll accomplish

Update driver details without losing document or assignment history. The instructions below follow the supplied module’s controller, form and model rules, including server-side validation and downstream effects.

Follow these steps

1. Go to Drivers.
2. Search and open the driver.
3. Change only verified details.
4. Save.
5. Reopen the record and confirm pay, status, availability and compliance values.

Fields and options to review

This action uses the values already stored on the selected source record. Review that record before continuing.

Rules the system enforces

• Changing sensitive fields re-encrypts the stored value.
• Changing compliance inputs can recalculate eligibility.
• Do not set availability to available while the driver is still assigned to an active job.

How to confirm it worked

• The source record, status/history and any downstream notification, provider, POD or finance record should agree after the action.

Security, audit and operational checks

• Use the exact record and least-privilege role before changing any state.
• Verify the saved record after every action; a browser message alone is not evidence that every downstream step completed.
• Use protected document and image routes rather than exposing server filesystem paths.
• Keep customer, driver, provider, financial and credential data within the authorised workflow.
• For provider, finance, employment, transport and compliance decisions, follow the organisation’s authorised professional process.
