To begin a commute analysis, click the More button in the top right hand corner of your survey. Then click "Commute Analysis".

On this page you will be instructed to either Import a CSV file of your employee data or Manually add Employee data. Click Import CSV.

A pop-up will show you the template of the file you will upload. Any column that has an * next to it is required. The Name, City, State and Zip will all be required for the Commute Analysis. If you do not wish to show the employee name in order to keep the address anonymous, you can enter "1 A", "1 B" and so on. The columns available are Name, Street Address, City, State, Zip Code, Is Include (which means you'd like their address to be included in the drive time analysis), Group Name and Role. The Role is a choice between C-suite, Manager, and Employee. The Group Name can be identified as any customizable title. The system will recognize the Group and automatically assign the addresses into a group. You will be able to change the color/title of the groups after you imported your addresses.

When you are ready to upload, click Upload Data from File. Choose your CSV to upload. Acceptable file types are .csv, .tsv, .xls, .xlsx, .xml, .txt spreadsheets with any set of columns as long as it has 1 record per row. Please make sure to upload one of these. The next step will allow you to match your spreadsheet columns to the right data points. You'll be able to clean up or remove any corrupted data before finalizing your report.

Once you have attached your file, you will be instructed to "match" the columns from your file to the columns on the system's template. Your column titles will show on the left side. On the right will show the platform's columns. Choose from the drop down menu where the correlating data should live. Remember the Name, City, State and Zip code are required fields. If you don't have those listed, your report will not run. Once all relevant columns are matched, hit Review.

Navigate to Map view. You will see the employee pins located on your digital map. If you have added the employees into a group and color coded them, you will see this indicated on the Map. You can see in the Legend in the bottom right hand corner, a list of the employee groups. You can toggle these on/off to show or hide them from your map view. You can also click on an address pin and find more details for that address. You will see Name, Address, Group and Role assigned for each address.
