Adding Drive Time to Equipment

Aspire provides the Include Drive Time when Logging Equipment from Crew Mobile application setting that instructs Aspire to add drive time to the time logged for equipment. The setting can be found on the Time Reporting tab of the Application Configuration screen. When the crew leader starts time on a work ticket from the Crew Mobile App, and there is equipment estimated for the work ticket, and the route has the Allow Equipment Time Reporting option enabled, they have the option to also log the time to the equipment. Time allocated to equipment in this manner shows up in the Time Entry screen of the Aspire Desktop. When the Include Drive Time when Logging Equipment from Crew Mobile option is enabled and office staff accepts time, Aspire will update the logged equipment hours value to include drive time calculated for the work ticket. If you go back into the Time Entry screen, they will see that the time allocated for equipment matches the time on the work ticket including drive time.
