Add New Driver Page (ACE and ACI eManifest)
| This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The Add New Driver Page is used to create a driver profile in BorderConnect eManifest software. Driver profiles can then be selected on ACE and ACI eManifests instead of re-entering the same driver information each time.
The page can be opened from:
- The Manage Data menu by clicking Create Driver.
- The Driver Search Page by clicking Create Driver.
- The Add Driver/Crew page on an ACE or ACI eManifest by clicking Create Driver.
Page Controls
- Save
- Creates the driver profile after all required fields are complete, then opens the Driver Details Page.
- Cancel
- Discards the entered information and returns to the Driver Search Page.
- Clear
- Clears the form so different driver information can be entered.
