The Start - Finish feature now has changed its name to Start Trip - End Trip Feature.
If “Start Trip - End Trip” Permission is On
When the Start Trip - End Trip permission is enabled, the user’s location on the MileApp Field is tracked only if the Start Trip - End Trip feature is active. The coordinate history will be available on the Tracking Page. This feature also ensures that MileApp Field users start their trip within a specified radius around the hub to access their tasks, and their location is tracked once they start the trip. The same applies to finish the trip, where users are restricted to finish the trip only within the designated radius around the hub. If Start Trip - End Trip is active, there are three tracking modes available, each with different intervals and distances between recorded points:- Power Saving (Saves battery life): Updates location every 10 minutes, with a minimum distance of 10 meters between points.
- Balance (Optimizes accuracy and battery usage): Updates location every 3 minutes, with a minimum distance of 20 meters between points.
- High Accuracy (Consumes battery quickly): Updates location every 1 minute, with a minimum distance of 10 meters between points.
If “Start Trip - End Trip” Permission is Off
When the Start Trip - End Trip permission is disabled, only task coordinates are recorded, and the user’s location on the MileApp Field is not tracked. Users can access tasks on the MileApp Field without starting a trip.Configuring the Feature
You could find the Start Finish feature at the Permission Page of the MileApp web, the location is under the “Advanced” setting on the Permission. This is where you set up the “Start Trip - End Trip” feature:- Toggle to enable or disable.
- Coordinate recording interval: Set how frequently the app logs the user’s coordinates (e.g., every 5 minutes).
- Start Radius: Defines the maximum distance from the hub to start the trip.
- Finish Radius: Defines the maximum distance from the hub to end the trip and stop the coordinate recording.
Usage Examples
- Setting Coordinate Recording Interval: If set to 5 minutes, the app logs coordinates every 5 minutes during the trip.
- Setting Start and Finish Radius:
- If the Start Radius is 500 meters, users can start tasks if they initiate the trip within 500 meters of the hub.
- Similarly, with a Finish Radius of 500 meters, users can end the trip only if within 500 meters of the hub.
- If both radii are set to 0 meters, users can start and end the trip from any location, allowing unrestricted access and tracking.
