How to track and report multiple businesses

You can easily set this up using our Custom Purpose feature for quick classification and can be done from the mobile app or the MileIQ web dashboard (same email and password as the app).

Below are the walkthroughs to create and add custom purpose classifications to your drives with our Custom Purpose feature using the mobile app and web dashboard, and then, how to create a business-specific report using the web dashboard.

Creating a custom business purpose on the Mobile App

Open the MileIQ app, then tap on Menu > Account Settings > Custom Purposes (under Personalization)

Tap on 'Create New Business Purpose', type the name of your business purpose, and press Enter/Return on your keyboard. The change is automatically saved.

Creating custom business purposes on the Web Dashboard

Log in to the MileIQ Web Dashboard using the same email and password as the mobile app.

Click on “Settings”.

Click “Custom Purposes”.

Click on Add Business Purpose and enter your desired Business name or type such as a ride-share service Lyft or Uber, Real Estate Showing, jobs for a Client named John Smith, or a delivery and then click “+”.

Click “+ when you’ve added all your custom purposes.

Classifying your drives using a custom business purpose on the mobile app

After setting up your custom purposes with business names, now when you long swipe to the right when classifying a drive and releasing, the drive card at this point will bring up the MileIQ Custom Purpose grid (on IOS) or a Custom Purpose list (on Android) with secondary classifications related to the primary category.

To classify a drive from the Mobile App, long swipe to the right to “Add a Purpose”.

Releasing the long swipe to the right will bring up the selection of purposes.

Simply tap on the custom purpose created for the business drive, and the drive is now classified with that specific name. If you have many Custom Purposes, you will need to select the three dots icon to scroll through all your custom purposes.

Once you classify the drive with a custom purpose, it disappears from the Mobile App into your account’s history.

After classifying, you can edit drives or make other changes from the web dashboard.

Classifying your drives using a custom business purpose on the Web Dashboard

After saving your new custom business purposes, you can now classify your past drives on the Web Dashboard using those purposes:

Log in to your web dashboard (same email and password as the app). 

Find the drive you want to classify and select them. Hint: This will be “Business” if it’s been classified already as a business drive.

Click the Business classification icon in the Drive Details pane to the right. Then select the custom purpose you created for these drives.

The classification’s custom purpose is now saved to the selected drives.

Generating a report using one of the custom purposes

To generate a business specific mileage report, please do the following in the Drives tab of the MileIQ Web Dashboard:

Choose the desired date range of your drives.

Click on the Filters tab to view and select your custom purposes and then click on 'Done' at the bottom of the filter screen.

Select all the drives and then click the “Report” button on the right hand side of the Drive Details pane.

Name the report and enter any additional information.

Click “Create report” to generate the report, have it delivered to the email address tied to your account and a copy to any additional email addresses.

Download the report in CSV or PDF formats in the Report tab’s Archived Reports section.

Repeat the steps above to create a purpose-specific report for any of your classification purposes.

Note: You can select multiple drive purpose tiles to filter several purposes for creating a report containing multiple purposes.
