What is the purpose of the Unidentified Driver Resolution page?

When a driver forgets to sign in as the primary driver/vehicle operator before beginning a trip, periods of vehicle motion are recorded as Unidentified Driver events. The Unidentified Driver Resolution page displays these events for a given log date, and allows the user to compare these driving periods to a selected driver's daily log for the same date.
