Transport handles school trips from request to completion. Staff submit transport requests, approvers assign a vehicle and driver, drivers complete the trip, and requesters rate the experience.
Transport must be turned on for your organization. You need read access to transport requests to open it. To get there, click the Transport Requests tile on the home screen.

Tabs

The Requests tab shows a badge with the number of pending requests.

Request statuses

How a trip works

  1. A staff member submits a transport request with the purpose, route, and times.
  2. If Requires Approval is on, the request stays Pending. An approver clicks Approve & Assign and selects a vehicle and, optionally, a driver.
  3. After the trip, the driver or an admin clicks Complete Trip and can record start and end odometer readings.
  4. The requester gets an email with a link to rate the trip from one to five stars. Ratings appear on the Reviews tab.
Requesters can cancel their own request while it’s still Pending.

Settings

Admins configure Transport under Settings > Transport:
  • Transportation Asset Categories — asset categories whose assets count as vehicles
  • Who can be a driver? — roles that can be picked as drivers; leave empty to allow everyone
  • Default Departure Location — the starting point filled in on new requests
  • Custom Request Fields — extra fields people must fill in when creating a request
  • Requires Approval — hold new requests as pending until an admin approves them
  • Driver Conflict Warning — warn when a driver already has an overlapping trip
  • Minimum Notice — how many hours before departure a request must be submitted
  • Request Number Prefix — the prefix for reference numbers, such as TR-0001
Completed trips also appear in Reports > Transport, which shows trips, distance, fees, and cost per kilometer by vehicle and driver.
