How can we help?
Answers for school owners, teachers and students. Type a word or two to search.
Getting started
How do I set up my school?Owners
- Go to eldt.systems and fill in Set up your school: your name, school name, email and the web name you want (for example
yourschool). - Type the 6-number code we email you.
- We review each new school. When it is approved, you get an email saying your school is ready, with your link:
eldt.systems/yourschool/. - Open the link. You are the school's first admin.
What is my school's "web name"?
It is the last part of your school's link. If your link is eldt.systems/redrivervalleycdl/, the web name is redrivervalleycdl. Type it in the app's Open your school box, or paste the whole link.
Don't know it? Students and teachers: it is in your invitation email, or ask your school. School owners: use Email me my link on the app's start screen.
How do I add my trainers?Admins
- Open Menu → School setup → Trainers.
- Tap Add a trainer. Enter their name and email, and leave Email them an invitation checked.
- Pick their Job (Trainer, or Office for staff who don't teach) and Access (Instructor, or Admin to manage the school).
They get an email with their username and a link to pick their PIN. You can resend it or reset their PIN with the ✉ Invite / Resend / Reset button.
How do I add students?Admins
- On the Dashboard, tap Add student.
- Fill in their details. When you type an email, you can check Email this student a login invitation when I save.
- Tap Save.
If your school uses Moodle and has connected it, use ⇩ Import from Moodle on the Dashboard instead.
You choose how students get their login under School settings → How students get their login: email invitation, in person, or both.
Can I use one phone for more than one school?
Yes. On the sign-in screen, tap Wrong school? Open a different school. The start screen lists every school opened on that phone, so you can switch with one tap. Each school's records stay separate on the phone.
Signing in
How do I sign in?
Open the app, then tap Teacher sign-in or Student sign-in. Type your username and your 4-number PIN.
Your username comes from your school (it is in your invitation email). It is not your name or email.
I'm signing in for the first time
From an invitation email: tap the link in the email and pick your 4-number PIN. Teacher and student invitation links work for 7 days.
Teachers without an email invite: type your username and the PIN you want. The first PIN you type becomes yours.
Students set up in person: your school gives you a temporary PIN. Sign in with it and pick your own PIN.
I forgot my PIN
Students: on Student sign-in, type your username and tap Forgot your PIN?. We email a reset link to the address your school has on file. It works for 24 hours.
Teachers: ask your school admin to tap Reset next to your name on the Trainers screen. You will get a new link by email.
After too many wrong tries, sign-in pauses for 15 minutes.
My invitation link expired
Open the link anyway and tap Email me a new link. A fresh link goes to the email address your school has on file. If that doesn't work, ask your school to resend it.
It says "There is no school at this address"
The web name is mistyped, or the school's account is paused. Check the link in your invitation email and try again, or ask your school for the right link.
Teaching and scoring
How do I score a lesson?Teachers
- Open the student from the Dashboard (or open a lesson from the Day Board).
- Pick the trainer who taught and the truck.
- Score each skill. Tap Start beside a minutes box to run the clock, then Stop when you are done.
- Tap Save. Then collect signatures if your school signs together.
How do signatures work?
Your school picks one of three ways in School settings: sign together right after the lesson, students sign later from their own login, or no signatures.
Students see any unsigned lesson under Please sign when they sign in. A red ✍ Sign button marks unsigned days for trainers.
What does "Change not saved yet" mean?
You changed a box that saves as you go. Press Enter or tap Save on that bar. You will see a green ✓ Saved when it is in.
Can I work with no signal?
Yes. Keep scoring. A yellow bar shows how many changes are saved on this device. They go in when the phone is back online, or tap Send now.
With the app installed, you can even open it with no signal, as long as you signed in on that phone before.
A red bar says a change was not saved
The server turned that change down and the bar says why (for example, a username already in use). Fix the problem and tap Try again, or tap Discard to drop that change and reload your school's records.
How do I book lessons on the Day Board?Teachers
Open Menu → Day Board. Add a lesson with the student, trainer, truck and time. The board warns you about double bookings, a trainer who doesn't meet the federal behind-the-wheel instructor rules, expired credentials and expired permits. From a lesson, tap Score to start scoring with the date, trainer and truck filled in.
For students
What can I do in the app?Students
See your scores and running averages, your upcoming lessons and skills test, sign your lessons (under Please sign), and upload documents your school asks for (under My documents). What you can see depends on your school's settings.
How do I upload a document?Students
Sign in, go to My documents, give it a name, then take a photo or pick a picture from your phone. You can upload up to 10 pictures a day.
I see the wrong scores, or something is missingStudents
Your school enters and manages your training records. Please ask your trainer or school office first. They can fix it right away.
Records, printing and reports
How do I make an audit binder?Admins
Open the student and tap 📁 Audit binder. It builds one printable file with the checklist, state rules, hours, theory scores, federal sign-offs, every session with signatures, and the documents list. Tap Print / save as PDF.
How do I print or save a PDF on my phone?
Android app: tap the print button. Android's print screen opens. Pick a printer, or choose Save as PDF.
iPhone: tap the print button, or use Share → Print. To save a PDF, pinch outward on the preview, then share it.
Long reports are easier to print from a computer.
How do I download all scores to a spreadsheet?Admins
Open Menu → Results → Download scores. It saves a CSV file that opens in Excel or Google Sheets, with the trainer, start date, substitute and signed columns.
How do I connect Moodle?Admins
Open Menu → School setup → Connect your LMS and follow the steps. ELDT Systems only reads from Moodle (students and theory scores). It never changes anything in Moodle. See the Moodle connector page.
The app itself
How do I install the app?
See Download for Android, iPhone, iPad and computer steps.
How do I update the app?
New features show up on their own the next time you open the app. If the Android app itself needs an update, it tells you when it opens. Tap Download the update, then Install.
The app won't open or shows a blank screen
- Check that you have internet (or that you signed in on this phone before).
- Close the app fully and open it again.
- Android: make sure Google Chrome is installed and up to date in the Play Store. The app runs inside Chrome.
- Check System status.
- Still stuck? Contact support and tell us your phone model.
Can I get it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store?
Not yet. For now, Android phones download it from this site, and iPhones add it to the Home Screen from Safari. Both get the same features. We will post store links here if that changes.
Does the app track my location or read my contacts?
No. The app asks for no special permissions. The camera opens only when you choose to take a photo for an upload. See our privacy policy.
