When you change a value that the Mobile App auto-generates — such as the start time or location — the change is noted as a modification in your logbook.
How does it work?
When you save an entry with a modified auto-generated value, the shift record shows a MODIFICATIONS section at the bottom.
Each modification shows:
The entry that was changed
What was changed (time or location)
The original auto-generated value (FROM)
The new value you entered (TO)
Who can see modifications?
Anyone who views the shift can see modifications. This includes:
You (the driver)
Your approved TSL Holders
Enforcement officers (via an export)
Why are modifications recorded?
NZ work-time rules require an accurate logbook. Modifications create a transparent record of changes. This protects both drivers and operators by showing exactly what was changed and when.
