Rename a Bus

You can change a bus's name or number on the Buses page. To do that:
  1. Open the main page of the dashboard. Find the Fleet Management section and click on Buses. This takes you to the Buses page, which will show you a list of your buses.
  2. Select the bus you are interested in. A column will open on the right.
  3. In the column on the right, immediately below the map, are three tabs: Info, Devices, and Routing. Select Info.
  4. In the Info tab, find the Vehicle Info section. There, click on Edit.

  5. In the right column, fields for editing the bus's description (name), number, and other characteristics will appear. Make changes as desired.

  6. After making a change, press Tab on your keyboard, then watch the screen for the message "your changes have been saved". The message goes away after a moment, so watch carefully.
