General Tips for Modifying Trips

  • Refueling/Charging as a Trip Purpose: Refueling or charging trips are neutral. If a refueling/charging trip is recorded between two business trips, it will be considered a business trip. If it occurs between personal trips, it will be considered personal. The type of trip before and after will determine its classification.

  • Recurring Daily Trips: If you need to update recurring trips, you can reload previously set recurring trips in the Trips menu to ensure they align with changes made in the system.

  • Transfer/Copy Entire Day: This feature can also be accessed from the Useful Tools drop-down menu, so you don’t have to enter Day View.
