Traffio allows you to record current odometer and run-hour readings for vehicles, as well as run-hour readings for equipment. You can set up Traffio to automatically update these values based on responses from form submissions by field workers.

Please be aware you must:

  • Link the form to a vehicle or equipment resource by setting the availability options on the form

  • Include a 'Measurement' question in the form.

  • Set the 'Action' of the 'Measurement' question to either:

    • 'Update vehicle odometer'

    • 'Update vehicle or equipment run-hours'.

To get started, ensure you have the 'Create forms' and 'Update forms' permissions. If you do not have access, please reach out to your administrator.


Configuring the Form

Navigate to Forms on the sidebar and choose the form you would like to use to update a vehicle or equipment's odometer or run-hours reading.

Alternatively, you can create a new form.

Setting Form Availability

In the form overview, ensure the form availability is set to either 'Bookings with specific resources' or 'Anytime with a specific resource.'

Next, under the "One submission per" section, select the vehicle or equipment resources you want to add.

When this setting is applied, the person submitting the form will be prompted to choose which vehicle or piece of equipment they are using from the list of selected resources.

Note: Ensure you select all the vehicle resources you want to include. If a resource is not selected, the system will not be able to update the ODO.

Adding the Form Question

  1. Create a New Revision

  2. Add Measurement form element

  3. Type in the question you would like to add and the unit

  4. Select the 'Update vehicle odometer' or 'Update vehicle or equipment run-hours' option (This determines which field, odometer or run-hours, on the corresponding vehicle or piece of equipment is updated when the form is submitted)

  5. Click Save

  6. Click Publish and Activate (If you would like to activate the form)
