Web application users with the appropriate role can correct driving time. indicates there was a system or sensor failure requiring the driver to keep paper logs. You'll see one of three identifiers in the header: Driver Not Logged In - the log edits will be approved only after the driver logs in and reviews them, AOBRD - the logs are automatically approved when downloaded to the in-cab device, or ELD - the driver must review and approve the changes you make.
