- Aktionen (Actions): open icon to edit, trash icon to delete (with a confirmation prompt, requires
penalties.edit).

Determining the driver via appointments
To the right of the input fields, FMWeb shows the appointments/reservations of the selected vehicle (start, end, driver). This lets you see at a glance who had the vehicle at the time of the offence: a click on the appointment row transfers the driver directly into the penalty notice.
Frequently asked questions

Why is "Anschreiben" greyed out? The cover letter is only available after the penalty notice has been saved for the first time.
