Month, Year, Title (1)

This defines the name of your form. If you have multiple forms for a month you can use the title to differentiate them.

Header Information (2)

Prefillable in Travel Settings.

Totals (3)

A breakdown of the Totals for your reimbursement.

Travel information (4)

Each row in the Travel Information section represents travel between two destinations.

Adding Rows (5)

When you add a row you can put in the departure, destination, and whether the trip is one way or round trip to get it to auto-calculate mileage for you.

Locations

When entering a location you can type in an address or use one of the pre-filled addresses (org wide and any you have added yourself). You can start typing to filter the list if it is too long.

Saving and Submitting your Miles (6)

After you have made changes you need to make sure you save your document.

When you have completed your form and are ready to turn it in to your supervisor for approval you can use the 'Get PDF' button to download a PDF version to sign and turn in.

Personal Information (1)

This section provides your personal information that fills out the head of the travel forms.

Commute Miles (2)

Here you can put in the distance you travel to work in case you need to use the 'Less Commute' option when calculating miles.

Custom Locations (3)

Create and maintain a list of addresses to be included in your prefilled selection of addresses.

Custom Purposes (4)

This generates a list of trackable purposes used in filling out your travel forms.

Clearing your cache (5)

If you're having trouble with distance calculations you can clear your cache here to force the site to re-calculate distances next time you enter them.

Distances are NOT re-calculated every time you open a form, so you may need to change the departure, destination, or whether the trip is round trip or one way to force it to check again.
