CompanyMileage will be providing the tools to help you manage your trips and/or expenses for reimbursement by your company. This

manual will help cover all aspects of using the system. Depending on your company’s setup and policies, certain sections or features may

not apply or be available to you. If that’s the case, feel free to ignore and skip these sections.

https://login.companymileage.com/

Some companies may have a unique domain, such as https://mycompany.companymileage.com. In these cases, simply visiting your company’s unique URL will get

you to the login page. You will be notified by your supervisors if this applies to you, otherwise use the link in the box above. You can login in to the program by en-

tering the username and password provided to you by your company and clicking Sign In.

Logging In

You can access CompanyMileage by visiting:

Validating Addresses

* This section only applies to companies using home and work addresses, and which allow their employees to change these addresses.

In many cases, your employer will have your work and home addresses imported into the system before you login. If you are allowed to

change these addresses, the system will ask you to validate their accuracy the first time you login, beginning with your Home Address. If the

address is correct and the map shows the correct location, simply click Validate then Save. If the address is incorrect, type your correct home

address in the appropriate fields and click Validate then Save. If the system cannot validate your address, you will receive the message

“Cannot determine the geographical coordinates of this address. You can pinpoint home address on the map.” You can then click on the map

marker, drag it to the approximate location of your home, and click Save. The process for validating your work address is the same as your

home address, so follow the same steps to complete the address validation process.

Changing Email and Password

* This section only applies to companies which use an email associated with users, and allow users to change their email and password.

Just as your employer will often import your work and home addresses before you login, your employer will also provide an email and setup

password which you used to initially login. Depending on your company’s settings, you may be prompted to confirm your email and set a new

password. Password reset requests are often sent to a user’s email, so confirming your email correct is important. Password must be a mini-

mum of 6 characters with at least one number or symbol . You can leave your password unchanged if the default password meets require-

ments, but this is not recommended. Once you have confirmed your email and password in the appropriate fields, click the Save & Continue

Login button. This will take you to the Personal Dashboard page, covered in the next section.

Password Recovery

If at any time you forget your password, you will need to go through the password recovery process to log back in to the system. You can ac-

cess this page by clicking on the Forgot Password link on the Login page.

This will take you to the Password Recovery page. If you have an email associated with

your username, and your company allows you to change your password, you will need

to enter your user name and click Reset Password. After doing so, you will receive an

email with a temporary password. After you login with this new password, you will be

prompted to change your password before accessing the system. Otherwise, your su-

pervisor will receive a request to reset your password after you enter your user name

and click Reset Password. Your password will not be changed until your supervisor up-

dates it in the system, so you will need to coordinate with them.

Control PanelControl PanelControl Panel

Located on the navigation bar at the top of the page, Control Panel contains your Personal Dashboard, My Profile Settings, and Address

Book, all of which are covered in this section.

Personal Dashboard

The Personal Dashboard page appears after clicking the

Control Panel button on the navigation bar. If your compa-

ny is using the system to log trips, the number of trips

awaiting approval, payment, and rejected will appear here.

Companies which also use the system to log expenses will

have the number of trips awaiting posting, approval, pay-

ment, and rejected will appear here. Clicking on the links

will take you to the appropriate Expense Items page. These

details will be covered in a later section, so ignore them for

now. The Personal Dashboard also contains a link to any

available training videos, and a suggestion box for any ideas

or concerns you’d like to share with CompanyMileage.

My Profile Settings Control Panel > My Profile Settings

Located under the Control Panel, the My Profile Settings page displays all the information associated with your user. Depending on your

company’s settings, you may not be able to update certain fields, like your name, email, password, and home/work addresses. If your

home and work addresses are in the system, this page will show your Miles to Work. Depending on how your company handles your

home commute, this number may be subtracted against your daily mileage total. Check with your supervisor to confirm. After changing

any information in your My Profile Settings page, you will need to click the Save Changes button.

My Profile Settings Control Panel > My Profile Settings

If you have permission to change your home and work address, you will need to validate any address you enter. The validation process is

similar to the first-time login address confirmation. You must first enter an address, then click Validate Home Address or Validate Work

Address, depending on which address you are updating. If the addresses is properly validated, then a green checkmark will appear below

the button. If the address cannot be validated after using Mapquest and Yahoo, then a red “X” will appear below the button, and you will

need to use the appropriate Work or Home map and marker to approximate the location of the address. After doing so, there will be a yel-

low “!” below the validate button, signifying that you have provided a manual override for the location of the address.

My Profile Settings Control Panel > My Profile Settings

If your company is using the Approval Groups hierarchy, a listing of Approval Groups to which you belong will be listed on your My Profile

Settings page. This is simply for your reference, and does not affect your use of the program. Each group is separated by a comma.

If you are allowed to manage your own Address Book access, which will be discussed in the next section, you can also add Address Books

belonging to other divisions or department in your company to your account. Select the desired Division and/or Department you want ac-

cess to from the drop-down menus, then click Assign. These addresses will now be available in the Address Book page under Company. If

you wish to remove access to the Address Book of a Division and/or Department you have selected in the past, click the Unassign button

next to the respective entry.

Address Book Control Panel > Address Book

The Address Book page contains all addresses accessible to your user. Depending on your company’s settings, you may only have access to

addresses assigned to your division and/or department, and/or you may not be able to create or edit addresses in the Company Address

Book or your Personal Address Book.

Addresses are divided into two Address Books, your Personal Address Book and Company Address Book. Addresses entered into your Per-

sonal Address Book are private to you, while any addresses in the Company Address Book are available to your company, division, or de-

partment, depending on your company’s settings. You can filter between addresses in each Address Book by clicking the All, Company, or

Personal button. All will display addresses in both Address Books, while Company and Personal will only display addresses in the respec-

tive Address Book.

After filtering, you can search for a particular address by typing in the name or street address of the address in the search bar, and clicking

Refresh List. The results will only be for the active filter, so make sure the proper one is selected. Addresses in your personal Address Book

can be deleted by clicking the Delete button.

Add / Edit Address Control Panel > Address Book > Add New Address / Edit

Adding and editing addresses is also done on Address Book page. Click the Add New Address button or the Edit button next to the Address

you wish to edit.. The following fields can be defined on address—

Company/Personal—Sets the address to your Company or Personal Address Book.

Company/Client Name—Name associated with address. Mandatory field.

Phone Number / Contact First, Last Name—Contact information associated with address. Non-mandatory.

Custom Fields—Your company may use custom fields not defined in these manual. They may or may not be mandatory. Check with your supervisor regarding

questions about these fields.

After entering an address in the Address 1 and ZIP fields, you will need to click the Validate Address button.

Add / Edit Address, cont. Control Panel > Address Book > Add New Address / Edit

After clicking the Validate Address button, the system will either succeed or fail in validating the address. If the validation succeeds, the

system will locate the address on the map and display a green checkmark. If the address fails to validate through two sources, the system

will show a red “X”. If the address cannot be validated, you can drag the map marker to the approximate location of the address, and a yel-

low “!” will appear. This is a manual override, and its geo-coordinates will be used when issuing reimbursements.

When finished, click the Save button.

Importing Addresses Control Panel > Address Book > Import to Personal Address Book

* Only applies to companies which use Personal Address Books and allow user imports.

From the Address Book page, you can click on the Import to Personal Address Book button to begin the import process. Click the Choose

File button, select the appropriate data file from your computer, then click the Import button. Note that files must be in .csv format and

start on row 1. The following columns map to the following fields by default, but be sure to follow the listed order when creating your im-

port file.

Importing Addresses, cont. Control Panel > Address Book > Import to Personal Address Book

After importing, click the Imported Addresses—Edit, Locate and Post button to finish the importing process. On this page, you can filter

imports via the Status drop-down, or searching and clicking Refresh. Once you find the import batch, click the checkbox next to the batch

or the column to select it. The Import Status field will tell you if the address is ready for posting, or errors need to be corrected. To correct

errors, look at the Errors column and change the respective fields in the address after clicking the Edit button. This will take you to the Edit

Address page, and after correcting any errors you can click the Update Address button.

After correcting any errors, click the Post to Personal Address Book button to post the address to your Personal Address Book. You can

also delete the address by clicking the Delete button.
