Add Previous Days allows you to add travel time from before the date you downloaded the App.
When you add previous days, you will move your tracking start date backwards. You will then edit this newly added ‘unverified’ time.
There are three ways you approach this depending on your needs:
1. I only want to add specific Trips, eg. for a single country.
2. I want to add all of my Trips for a complete travel record, adding one trip at a time.
3. I want to add all of my Trips for a complete travel record, adding all travel in one go (needs all records to hand, more complex process).
(Just a quick note: we are currently working on upgrading this process to move editing trips to a simple calendar view, please look out for this in a future update).
1. I want to add only specific dates.
Ex. You downloaded the App mid year and you have some Trip dates for one specific country, that you need to add to the App, this will complete your records for this year.
If you only wish to add specific Trips, the surrounding time still needs to be allocated somewhere. The app is designed like this to allow it to pick up any missed trips.
We therefore recommend allocating the surrounding time to ‘Transit’ or ‘Deleted’.
With this method, after editing, your Timeline would look something like this:
// Transit / Country A Trip 1 / Transit / Country A Trip 2 / Transit //
In the following example you will have added Previous Days from 1st - 31st December, you now want to add a Trip to ‘Country A’, from 12th - 15th December only:
- Tap [App Settings], (white ‘cog’ in the top right hand corner).
- Tap [Add Previous Days].
- Select a date in the past, this will be your new tracking start date.
- Tap [Generate Previous Days].
This will generate Unverified time and the App will return you to the History screen.
- Tap [Verify Location].
- Tap the newly added [Unverified] trip to Edit.
You are now given a list of countries.
- Select ‘Country A’, also
- Select ‘Transit’
- Tap [Next]
- In [Country], select ‘Transit’
- In [To] select 12th December (for this example), select end time: 12:00
- Tap [Add Next]
- In [Country], select ‘Country A’
- In [To] select 15th December, select end time: 12:00
- Tap [Add Next]
- In [Country] select ‘Transit’
- In [To], select the last date highlighted in purple, select the last possible end time (Note iPhone: When adding your final Trip, flick the ‘Time’ scroller upwards and let it automatically fall back naturally.)
- Tap [Summary] and check your dates added if you need to.
- Tap [Verify]
This is the end of the process.
If you made an error, you can always edit individual trips later.
2. I want to add one trip at a time.
Example: You want to have a complete record of your travel and you have records of all trips and travel dates.
With this method you will add your trips back one at a time, adding the most recent trip first and working back to the earliest trip. For example:
Start edit - Add ‘Country A’ from 25th - 31st December, finish edit.
Start edit - Add ‘Country B’ 20th to 25th December, finish edit.
Start edit - Add ‘Country C’ 1st to 20th December, finish edit.
The process is quick to repeat, after you have completed it once.
-
- Tap [App Settings], (white ‘cog’ in the top right hand corner).
- Tap [Add Previous Days].
- Select the starting date of your most recent trip, (example ‘Country A’ above, start date would be 25th December.)
- Tap [Generate Previous Days].
This will generate Unverified time from 25th December to your current start date. The App will return you to the History screen.
- Tap [Verify Location].
- Tap the newly added [Unverified] trip to Edit
- Select ‘Country A’
- Tap [Done]
This is the end of the process and your Trip for ‘Country A’ has been added.
Repeat the process to add ‘Country B’, ‘Country C’ etc adding more previous days and moving backwards in time.
3. I want to allocate all of my time, in one go.
Example: You want to have a complete record of your travel and you have records of all trips and travel dates, you will add all at once.
- Tap [App Settings], (white ‘cog’ in the top right hand corner).
- Tap [Add Previous Days].
- Select a date in the past, this will be your new tracking start date.
- Tap [Generate Previous Days].
This will generate Unverified time and the App will return you to the History screen.
- Tap [Verify Location].
- Tap the newly added [Unverified] trip to Edit.
You are now given a list of countries. Select every country that you need to add, this can be as many as you need.
- Once all countries are selected Tap [Done]
You must now work forwards from your earliest trip in chronological order. Adding your entry and exit dates and times, for each trip. All time needs to be allocated.
- In [Country], select your earliest Trip country
- In [Date Range] Tap [To]. Add the date and time that you departed this country.
- Tap [Add Next]
Repeat the process adding each Trip moving forwards in chronological order.
Note iPhone: When adding your final Trip, flick the ‘Time’ scroller upwards and let it automatically fall back to the end of the added time.
- Tap [Summary] and check your dates added if you need to.
- Tap [Verify]
This is the end of the process.
If you made an error, you can always edit individual trips later.
