You can use the Compliance manager to adjust how Tachogram calculates and checks driving and working time compliance.
It lets you customize the rules behind infringement detection, rest periods, night time, and other key settings, so the analysis better matches your company’s operations and local requirements.
This helps ensure more accurate results, clearer reports, and more reliable compliance monitoring across your fleet.
This can be found in 
Settings -> Compliance Manager.

Driving time
Configure the rules used for driving time compliance calculations.
Night time
Select when should "night time" start, and when should it end.
Set when night time starts and when it ends for driving time calculations.
Infringements
Show or hide severities
Use the checkboxes to choose which severities to show.
This helps you focus on what matters most. For example, you can hide minor issues and only view serious or very serious infringements, making it easier to quickly spot risks, prioritize actions, and avoid getting distracted by less important details.
Ignore short "violations"
Sometimes there are short gaps in data when drivers switch cards or vehicles — and that’s normal. This setting makes sure those small gaps don’t get flagged as violations.
For example, if this is set to 15 minutes, any unknown period shorter than 15 minutes (like during a card change or vehicle switch) will be ignored and won’t be marked as a violation.
What counts as weekly rest
This setting defines how long a rest period must be to count as a weekly rest. If the rest is shorter than this, it won’t be treated as a weekly rest when checking compliance.
For example, if this is set to 20 hours, any rest period shorter than 20 hours will not count as a weekly rest. Only rest periods of 20 hours or more will be considered valid weekly rest.
Rest periods for multi-manning
This setting defines how long a regular rest period should be in crew (multi-manning) driving. If the rest is shorter than this value, it will be treated as a reduced daily rest instead.
For example, if this is set to 11 hours, any rest period shorter than 11 hours (for example, 9 hours) will be counted as a reduced daily rest, not a regular one.
Missing country entry as violation
Drivers need to record the country when they start and end a shift.
Mark this checkbox to check if that information is missing and show it as a violation if it is missing.
For example, if a driver starts a shift but does not enter the country, the system will flag it as a violation so it can be corrected.
Missing card insert as violation
Some systems treat inserting or removing the driver card at the start or end of a shift as a violation.
Mark or unmark this checkbox to choose whether to show those as violations or ignore them if they are part of your normal workflow.
Working time
Infringements
Night time work
This setting controls how nighttime work is shown.
If enabled, nighttime work is displayed across the entire 24-hour period.
If disabled, nighttime work is displayed only from the start time of the last shift.
More than 10 hrs with night work
Normally, daily working time is limited to 10 hours if night work is involved. This setting allows the system to accept longer working days when night work is performed, based on specific national rules or exceptions.
Example:
If a driver works 11 hours in a day and that includes night work:
If enabled: this may be allowed and not flagged as a violation.
If disabled: it will be marked as a violation because it exceeds the 10-hour limit.
Under 15 min breaks
This setting controls how short periods (under 15 minutes) are treated.
If enabled, short breaks or gaps under 15 minutes are counted as working time instead of rest.
Example:
If a driver has a 10-minute break:
If enabled: it will be counted as working time.
If disabled: it will be treated as rest time instead.
Less strict break rules
Allows a working period to be interrupted by a 15-minute break, if the total daily break time reaches at least 30 minutes when working between 6 and 9 hours, or at least 45 minutes when working more than 9 hours.
This setting makes the rules for breaks more flexible. It allows shorter breaks (like 15 minutes) to count as part of the required total break time, as long as the driver takes enough total break time during the day.
Example:
A driver works 8 hours and takes:
one 15-minute break, later another 15-minute break
If enabled: this counts as a valid 30-minute total break, so no violation.
If disabled: the breaks may not be counted correctly, and it would be flagged as a violation.
Daily working time limit
When enabled, daily working time is calculated even if no night work was performed. The calculation is based on each shift rather than the full 24-hour period.
This setting makes sure daily working time is always checked per shift, even if there is no night work. It focuses on each shift separately instead of looking at a full 24-hour window.
Example:
A driver works two shifts in one day:
Shift 1: 06:00 – 12:00 (6 hours)
Shift 2: 14:00 – 20:00 (6 hours)
If enabled: each shift is checked separately, so both are within limits.
If disabled: the system may look at the full 24-hour period and combine them (12 hours), which could be flagged depending on limits.
