What Are Global Settings in MileageWise?

The Global Settings in MileageWise allow you to control how your mileage logs and app behave across your entire account.

Any changes you make here will apply to all vehicles and all mileage logs within your account.

This helps you keep everything consistent without adjusting settings one by one.

Display Timestamps on Mileage Logs

You can decide if each trip should include start and end times.
