Common questions

Q. I have a workplace that I no longer want to log trips on. 

You can archive any workplaces that you no longer require tracking or logging trips on. Have a look at our guide on archiving workplaces.

Q. I want to delete a workplace. What can I do? 

Deleting a workplace is irreversible. We suggest instead to archive a workplace. This will allow you to restore it if you ever need to access it again. If you want to delete a workplace, you must first delete all trips then archive it before you can permanently delete the workplace. 

Q: I have several workplaces, can I add multiple? 

Yes, you can add as many workplaces as you need to. Just remember to select the correct workplace when you are tracking or logging your trip.

Q: I have created a new workplace but it has a different reimbursement rate than my other one. Can I change it?

Yes, you can have separate reimbursement rates to each workplace. Check out our article: Manage reimbursement rates
