View source for How to use Transport for car allocation

=== Overview ===
Team members can be allocated to hired cars using the ''Transport section'' in the EventR Coordinator Hub. This process is also know as Vehicle Allocation.

=== Add a car in the Hire/Rental Car Section ===
Create a car in the Hire/Rental Car section. Add optionally a driver if needed - this is if a team member is driving the car, and needs information about picking the car up.

=== Add a transport in the Transport Section ===
Before entering the Transport name, select '''Hire car as the Transport Type.''' This updates the Transport name with a list of available hire cars added in the hire car section. Complete rest of the form and add team members as passenger or drivers. Ensure you select a date range the people are expected to be in the vehicle. So if you want "John Smith" in Red car from 18th June to 20th June, create a Transport as below. Please note we've put a pick up and drop off location, but this is entirely optional if you just want to allocate them to the vehicle in general.

=== Viewing Team Member Car Allocation In the EventR Team App ===
In the app, a team member can view their allocated car during the event on the home page as a transport card:

On the first day, the transport card shows the team members first ''Pick-up'' time and the last day shows team members  final ''Drop-off'' time. In between days, the card shows ''All Day.''

If you need to put the same people in the Blue car for June 21st to June 22nd, repeat the process to create a new Transport for those days with the blue car with those people.
