# Vehicle rostering

> How to set up vehicles and assign them to client roster shifts

The vehicle rostering feature lets you assign vehicles from your fleet to client roster shifts. Vehicle assignments flow through to the Vworker app so workers know which vehicle to use.

## Setting up vehicles

Before you can roster vehicles, they need to be added to the vehicle list.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the vehicles page">
    From the menu bar, go to **Maintenance** → **Vehicles**. This shows a list of existing vehicles with their details.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new vehicle">
    Click **Add Vehicle** in the top left of the screen.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter vehicle details">
    In the pop-up window, enter the vehicle make, model, year, capacity (number of seats), and registration number. Click **Create**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit the vehicle profile">
    Double-click the vehicle in the list to open its profile. From here you can:

    * Update vehicle information and **Save**
    * Add **Documents** related to the vehicle
    * Complete **Forms** for the vehicle
    * Add or read **Notes** about the vehicle
    * **Delete** the vehicle profile if needed

  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="Company car kilometre settings">
  If the vehicle is a company car and kilometres associated with it should be charged to the client but not paid to the worker, use the tick box on the right side of the vehicle profile page.

  When ticked, this applies to both the **KM** and **KM Between** fields, meaning kilometres added for shifts with this vehicle rostered are not included in the worker pay export.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Check availability">
    If a vehicle name appears in grey italics, that vehicle is already rostered at that time and cannot be selected.
