Configuring Trip Events

The Trip Events Setup Table categorizes each Trip Event into a specific Trip Type. A different Mileage Rate Per Mile and Driver Rate can be set at the Trip Event level. You can select a Trip Event as the default for Trip Types.


Example: A Basketball Trip Event would fall into the Athletic Trip Type category.

Configuring a Trip Event

To configure an existing trip event, its mileage rate per mile, or driver rate, click in the top right-hand corner of your webpage, where you see the half-person icon. From the dropdown menu, select “Setup Tables.”  



On the left-hand side of the Setup Tables page, use the dropdown menu to select "Trip Events."

 

Editing an Existing Trip Event

To edit an existing Trip Event, click on the name and make your edits in the panel on the right.



Creating a New Trip Event

To create a new Trip Event, click "Create Trip Event" toward the top right of the Trip Events page.



Name your Trip Event and assign it to the appropriate Trip Type.



Default Event

Setting an event as the "Default Event" for a Trip Type will cause the Trip Request Form to auto-populate with that specific Trip Event when the corresponding Trip Type is selected.

Requestors can still select a different Trip Event even if a Default Event is set.



Mileage Rate Per Mile:

You can charge different rates for each Trip Event. This setting allows you to override the Cost Per Mile set at the Trip Type level.



Override the Driver Rate:

If you want to override the Driver Rate for a trip event, check the box to the left of "Override the Driver Rate" and fill out the appropriate rate.

This will override the rate set at the Driver level in the Driver Setup Table.




Once you make the necessary changes, be sure to click save.



Deleting a Trip Event

To delete a Trip Event, check the box to the left of the Trip Event name on the Trip Event list. A red "Delete Trip Event Button will appear at the top of the screen. Click this button.

Trip Events can only be deleted if no active trips are assigned to the Event.



The system will prompt you to confirm the deletion. Click "yes" if you want to delete the Trip Event.
