Create a Transport
Open More > Transports and click Add Transport. The dedicated form page is divided into five sections.
Transport Information
- Service Name (required).
- From Location and To Location (required).
- Driver (required).
- Transport Method: Ground Transport or Air Transport (required).
The From field starts with the organization's saved address when one exists. Location fields use address suggestions when Google Maps is available. Only active drivers are offered for new assignments; if no driver exists, the form links to Add Driver.
Schedule
Enter any of:
- Estimated departure.
- Estimated arrival.
- Actual departure.
- Actual arrival.
All four are dates. Estimated dates support planning. Actual departure and arrival determine whether the list and profile show Scheduled, In transit, or Completed, so they can't be later than today; use the estimated dates for a planned run.
Cost and Distance
Record what the whole run costs and the miles covered. Use the calculator button beside Miles Covered after both route locations are present, or enter the mileage manually.
Pets
Search for each transported pet, add it to the list, and optionally enter that pet's cost share. A transport can include multiple pets.
Internal Notes
Use notes for handling instructions, contact arrangements, vehicle requirements, access details, or other staff-only context.
Save and Edit
Click Add Transport to create the record and open its profile. From a transport profile, choose Edit Transport to open the same fields in a dialog, then save.
Saving an edit sends only the fields you changed, so a driver, notes, or dates a teammate changed while your edit was open are kept. If you both changed the same field, the later save wins.
A driver's Transports panel also has Add Transport. That action opens a side panel with the same fields and preselects the current driver; existing transport rows there can be edited in the same panel.
