Modes switch optional parts of WasteBolt on or off for your whole account. Turn one on and it appears in the menu for your team, with its own settings. Leave it off and nobody sees it.
Open Settings → Modes (under Operations).
Only the account owner can change Modes. Other admins can see the page, with the switches locked: “Modes are account-wide settings — only the account owner can turn them on or off.” Drivers can’t open it.
The Modes
| Mode | What it turns on | Starts |
|---|---|---|
| Operational Dockets | Internal site load records, separate from WTNs and DWT: Log Docket on Gate, Docket Products, the Dockets list and the Products view in Reports | Off |
| Tasks | Assign and track team tasks against loads and dockets. Admins get the Task Manager, drivers get My Tasks. | Off |
| Car Breaker Mode | End-of-life vehicle intake in Gate (Log ELV): vehicle details, the de-pollution checklist and photos, kept separately for ATF records, plus ELV Records | Off |
| Fleet | Your own vehicles, plant and containers: daily checks, key dates, defects, events and documents, for admins and drivers. An add-on. | Off |
| Contractor Compliance | Request documents from contractors, and Site Inductions with sign-off and expiry reminders. An add-on. | On |
Enable Signatures on Dockets
When Operational Dockets is on, a second switch appears: Enable Signatures on Dockets. After a docket is saved, a signature screen lets the producer, haulier and receiver each sign or skip. Signatures are kept on the docket and printed on its PDF.
Turning a Mode On
Flip the switch, then refresh the page to see the new items in the menu. Each mode then has its own guide:
Fleet Management and Contractor Compliance are add-ons. They’re not part of the standard WasteBolt plans. Talk to us about adding them.
Turning a Mode Off
Turning a mode off hides it from the menu for everyone. Nothing is deleted. Turn it back on and your records are where you left them.
- Fleet: your fleet records are kept, and reminder emails stop.
- Contractor Compliance: your packs, inductions and records are kept, and links you’ve already sent still work.
Refresh to update the menu.
Modes and Drivers
Several modes change what drivers see:
- Operational Dockets adds Log Docket to their Gate menu.
- Tasks adds My Tasks.
- Car Breaker Mode adds Log ELV.
- Fleet adds Checks (replacing Notes in their menu bar), plus Defects and Events.
See Adding Drivers and Team Members for everything a driver account can see.
Frequently Asked Questions
I turned a mode on but can’t see it
Refresh the page. If someone else on your team still can’t see it, ask them to refresh too.
Why can’t I change Modes?
Only the account owner (primary admin) can. Ask them to make the change, or contact us if the owner has left the business.
Where are the other settings, like Hot Picks and signatures on transfers?
Those are in Settings → Gate Settings. See Is Your Gate Workflow Set Up Right?.
