TripLog Updates

New Feature: Notification System!

2023-06-30T16:51:00Z

We're thrilled to announce a new feature that brings TripLog’s communication capabilities to a new level: notifications!

As a part of our continued efforts to improve your experience with TripLog, we've implemented a feature that allows TripLog admins to send notifications to their teams! Hopefully, this will make coordinating more streamlined and efficient, saving you time and eliminating potential communication roadblocks.

This also allows us at TripLog to keep our valued customers informed about important updates, offers, and features directly within our platform. No more missing out on crucial information, or having to hunt for it on our website or in your email inbox!

Notifications can be viewed both in the TripLog app and on our web dashboard. In the app, drivers will find the notifications near the top of the main menu. On the web, simply hover over the “Info” tab and select “Notifications”. From here, you can view notifications that were sent to you, or compose notifications of your own (assuming you have the appropriate system privileges).

TripLog Notifications: Feature-rich, Convenient, and Easy-to-use!

When composing, you’re able to send notifications to all of your TripLog users within your organization, specific segments (such as TripLog app users only), or even to specific company-defined departments.

There are additional features that provide you with the flexibility you need, such as setting certain notifications to be recurring, scheduled, or to additionally send an email notification.

We believe our new notification system is a huge step towards making TripLog an even more interconnected and user-friendly experience. As always, if you have any questions about this new feature or need help with anything else, [email protected]" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">our support team is here for you.

As always, thank you for using TripLog!

In-app Approval Management

2023-02-28T17:10:55.905Z

We’re pleased to announce that administrators in our Enterprise plan can now approve their drivers’ mileage reports and time cards right in the TripLog app! Admins are able to quickly review and approve their team’s reports anywhere, at any time.

In the TripLog app (iOS or Android download), open the main menu by swiping from the left side of your screen, or by pressing the hamburger menu at the top left. Admins will see an option for “Approval Management” under the ADMIN section.

Tap it, and you’ll see all of your team’s submitted mileage reports. By tapping the various drop-down menus, you are able to change whether you’re managing mileage, expense, or time reports, change the submission status you’re looking at, and apply additional filters.

Just select the trips you want to manage and tap the Approve or Reject button! If there’s an issue such as over-reported mileage, you will need to resolve the issue before you can approve. Simply tap on the trip to review its details.

For any questions or support with using this new feature, please contact us at [email protected]">[email protected]. Thank you for using TripLog!

iOS 16 Widgets + Press & Hold Quick Menu

2022-09-20T22:22:10.230Z

With iOS 16, iPhone users can now place a TripLog widget on their Home Screen, giving you quick access to essential information, such as the trip category, trip length in miles and time, and addresses. You can also start and stop a trip with a dedicated button.

This new widget is available in two sizes, with the larger size offering a trip classification button, as well as the ability to see the addresses of your most recent starting location and destination.

To use the new TripLog widgets, simply press and hold in an open spot of your Home Screen until the plus sign appears in the top left. Click it, and then search for or find TripLog from the app list. You can then choose the size of the widget you want, and then arrange your widgets and apps as you see fit.

With this same update, we added a quick menu when you press and hold the TripLog app icon. From there, you can also start a trip, as well as scan a receipt or clock in and out. To use these new features, make sure you are using the most recent TripLog update and that your phone has been updated to iOS 16.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank you for continuing to use TripLog!

Pull down to sync

2022-09-02T22:57:24.242Z

In our most recent update, we made it easier than ever to sync your data between you or your driver’s TripLog app and the cloud/our web dashboard.

On the “Trips” screen, simply pull down with your finger and release. The app will then sync automatically.

Previously, you would need to go to the main menu in the top left of the app, click on your email address, click “Data Backup” in the top right, and then click “Sync Data between Device and Cloud”. You can still do this if you want to choose a specific sync method (Merge, Push, or Pull).

Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank you for continuing to use TripLog!

Spending Limits For Approval Management

2022-01-05T18:38:13.977Z

With TripLog’s most recent update, administrators are now able to set custom spending limit rules for their company. For example, if your team members regularly use hotels, you can set how much they’re allowed to spend on a given hotel stay. Admins can also adjust the scope (per transaction, per day, per week, etc.), as well as manage additional options such as whether or not to require receipts.

To set spending limit rules for your company, login to the TripLog dashboard, hover over "Expenses”, and click “Spending Limits”. When your team submits their expense reports via the TripLog app, admins can see which reports were flagged for exceeding their spending limits.

Smart Scan Expense Receipts With OCR Text Recognition

2021-12-17T16:00:00Z

TripLog has expanded its OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities! Where the app’s OCR features were previously limited to gas and fuel receipts, drivers can now scan virtually any receipt and TripLog will automatically grab and fill in the necessary details.

Simply go to the “Transactions” tab on the TripLog app and hit the plus button. Press “Auto Scan Expense Receipt” and you will be given the option to take a photo or upload an image of a receipt. Once your photo is cropped the way you want it, hit done, and TripLog will automatically scan your receipt and extract the necessary information.

When that’s done, hit “Save”. In the final screen, you can add more details, such as location, tags, and tax information, as well as set the appropriate expense category and activity type.

In order to use the new OCR function, be sure your app is updated to the most recent version.

Add a Phone Number to Saved Locations

2021-09-03T19:03:00Z

With our most recent update, TripLog has introduced the ability to add phone numbers to saved locations! Whether adding a new location or updating an old one, there is now a field to add a phone number.

To add a new location, swipe left on the main screen or use the hamburger menu in the top left and hit “Locations”. Then, hit “Add Location” in the top right. You can then add a phone number, and you can call it simply by tapping the phone icon. Easy as that!

To edit a previous location, go back to the “Locations” screen and tap the location you want to add a phone number to and hit “Edit”. This can also be done on the main trips menu by tapping a name or location and then clicking the three dots on a name or location and then hitting “Adjust details”. You can also make a call from that three dot menu.

Thank you for using TripLog!

Shift Schedules

2021-06-02T17:55:16.597Z

With TripLog’s powerful time and scheduling tool, now you can easily plan and schedule jobs for your entire team, publish tasks and notify assignees, and set up multiple ways of reminders. Users can view their assignments on the TripLog app with an intuitive calendar view, respond with their acceptance, and communicate with managers.

The Shift Schedule feature is available in the “Premium + Time” or “Enterprise + Time” pricing plan.

TripLog Drive™ New Tracking Mode - Record Offline and Download Later

2020-11-20T19:58:00.001Z

Introducing a new dedicated Offline Tracking Mode for TripLog Drive™. Now you can let the GPS Drive™ device record location data on its flash storage and at a later time, download to the mobile app. More secure, more privacy, detached from the mobile phone, so the TripLog app is not required to grant location permissions or stay alive in the background.

To turn on this option, open TripLog app > main menu > Auto start settings > Tracking Mode > select "Record offline and download later". Once you are ready to download the data, go to TripLog app main screen > the green Start button > Download > follow the instruction.

Note, it takes about 1 minute to download 1 hour of driving records. So don’t wait too long to download. We recommend no more than one week.
