How to create a custom Drive purpose

MileIQ makes it easy to label your drives however you'd like with the Custom Purpose feature. You can set up a custom purpose from within the mobile app, or from the web dashboard (same email and password as the app).

Mobile App

To enable custom purposes in the mobile app, tap on Menu > Account Settings > Custom Purposes.

Once the new purpose is added, you can prioritize your purposes by clicking and dragging the purpose using the 'arrows' to the left of the purpose name.

Any drives classified with a custom purpose will show up on reports when the drives are exported to PDF, CSV or Concur.
