Automate purpose is useful when you automatically want to set a purpose for a trip. It is a great way to stay tax compliant and saves your drivers manually adding the purpose in their Driver app. Additionally, filtering trips based on purpose is a great way of getting the data you need when it is time to invoice your customers.
Geofence areas are managed through the ‘Map’, open the ‘Map’ menu: https://abax.cloud/central/map/
Your existing geofences are listed in the left-hand banner under the “Geofences” tab.
The icon
will show if notifications are enabled for the geofence and the icon
will show if automatic purposes or address override is enabled.
You can use the free text field to search for a specific geofence, narrow with a filter or scroll through the list.
Clicking on any geofence will show the area on the map.
Click the ‘Edit’ button by ‘Automate purpose’ and enter the desired purpose on trips that starts or ends in this area – top tip, we often see that our customers add project numbers or the name of their customer as the automatic purpose to a specific site.
Click ‘update’ to save.
Now any time an asset start or stops in this area the purpose will be automatically changed in your reports.
