Mobile App

• Mileage is calculated for mileage based punches created via the mobile app, i.e. Client Transportation and Drive.

• • Please note: The button called Drive is the mobile app is associated with the Account Type called Mileage in the Web Portal and Mobile Web.

• DCI uses the addresses from the start and end locations in conjunction with Google Maps to find the quickest route between the two points.

1. 1. When creating punches via the mobile app, the map will show two pins
      1. Green Pin = Start Location
      2. Red Pin = End Location

• This creates a route that records the miles as the Estimated Miles and the Actual Amount for the punch.

• The Estimated Miles and Actual Amount listed on the punch may be different from your odometer reading entered if you deviated from the quickest route.

• When entering in punches for Client Transportation and Drive, use point to point trips. Do not enter round trip punches, the system will calculate the punch as zero miles because the start and end address are the same.

• Optionally verify the mileage by entering the start and end address into Google Maps and select the quickest route.

• The quickest route may not always be the shortest route (least amount of miles), as Google Maps takes into account traffic, construction, accidents, etc.

Web Portal or Mobile Web

• When entering a mileage based punch (client transportation or mileage) via the web portal or mobile web, enter the starting and ending odometer readings into the Add New Entry form wizard.

• DCI calculates the difference between the starting and ending odometer readings to calculate the mileage amount.
