About Group Trips

The Group Functionality enables a driver to perform multiple events at the same time if the events are at the same location and meet the time condition.

With grouping enabled, when trips are displayed on the manifest, DriverMate automatically checks if the next event is part of a group. When it detects a group, the trips in the group are displayed in one line on the manifest. The grouping indicator replaces the client name.

To view details of a trip within the group, tap the line of group trips. The list of trips is shown.
