How Frequent Trip Rules Work

How Frequent Trip Rules Work Frequent Trip Rules let you save a route so that future trips between the same start and end locations are classified automatically. How it works When you classify a trip, SmartMiles may offer to create a rule for that route. If you accept, any future trip that starts and ends near the same locations will be classified with the same purpose — no action needed from you. For example, if you classify a trip from Home to Office as "Business" and save it as a rule, every future trip from Home to Office will automatically be classified as Business. Creating a rule 1. Classify a trip in the Trips tab. 2. If the start and end locations match a pattern SmartMiles recognizes, you will see an option to "Always classify this route." 3. Tap to create the rule. You can also create rules manually from Settings > Frequent Trip Rules. How matching works SmartMiles matches trips to rules based on proximity — not exact GPS coordinates. If a trip starts within about 400 meters of a rule's start location and ends within 400 meters of the rule's end location, the rule applies. This means you do not need to park in the exact same spot each time. Driving to the same general area (like an office building or neighborhood) is close enough. Managing your rules Go to Settings > Frequent Trip Rules to see all your saved rules. From there you can: - Enable or disable a rule without deleting it. - Delete a rule you no longer need. - See how many times a rule has been applied. Priority Frequent Trip Rules take priority over Work Hours auto-classification. If a trip matches both a Frequent Trip Rule and falls within your work hours, the Frequent Trip Rule wins. If no rule matches, Work Hours classification is applied next (if configured). Trips that do not match either remain unclassified until you classify them manually.

Setting Up Work Hours

Setting Up Work Hours Work Hours let you define your typical work schedule so SmartMiles can auto-classify trips based on when they happen. How it works You set the days and times you usually work. Then: - Trips during work hours can be auto-classified as Business. - Trips outside work hours can be auto-classified as Personal. Both options are toggles — you can enable one, both, or neither. Setting up your schedule 1. Go to Settings > Work Hours. 2. Add the days you work by tapping each day (Monday through Sunday). 3. For each day, set your start time and end time. 4. Toggle Auto-classify trips during work hours as Business on or off. 5. Toggle Auto-classify trips outside work hours as Personal on or off. Examples Standard office worker (Mon–Fri, 9 AM to 6 PM): - Add Monday through Friday, each set to 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. - Turn on "Classify during work hours as Business." - A trip at 10 AM on Tuesday → automatically classified as Business. - A trip at 8 PM on Saturday → stays unclassified (or Personal, if that toggle is on). Part-time schedule (Mon, Wed, Fri): - Add only Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. - Trips on Tuesday and Thursday are treated as "outside work hours." Days with no schedule Days that you do not add to your schedule count as "outside work hours." If you have the outside-hours toggle turned on, trips on those days will be classified as Personal. Timezone Work Hours use your timezone (set in Account Settings). A trip at 5 PM is evaluated as 5 PM in your local time, regardless of where the SmartMiles server is located. Priority Work Hours classification only applies to trips that were not already classified by a Frequent Trip Rule. The priority order is: 1. Frequent Trip Rules (highest priority) 2. Work Hours 3. Manual classification (you classify it yourself) Limitations - Each day supports a single time window. Split shifts (e.g., morning and evening) are not supported yet. - Overnight shifts that span midnight (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM) are not supported yet.
