Quick Start Guide
Welcome to Yipii Mobility! This guide walks you through your first session -- from logging in to creating assets, work orders, and exploring the platform's key features.
Step 1: Log In
- Navigate to your Yipii Mobility dashboard at mobility.yipii.io.
- At the top of the login page, select the Mobility tab (the IoT/Mobility toggle lets you switch between the two platforms).
- Enter your email and password, then click Sign In.
You also have the following sign-in options:
- Sign in with PIN -- If your organization has issued you a numeric PIN, click "Sign in with PIN" and enter it instead of a password.
- Google SSO -- Click the Google button to sign in with your Google account.
If you do not have an account yet, contact your organization administrator or sign up for a new account. Links to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are available at the bottom of the login page.
Step 2: Understand the Dashboard
After logging in, you land on the main dashboard. It greets you with a time-aware message such as "Good morning" or "Good afternoon", followed by a summary of your fleet's current status.
Clock In Banner
If you have not clocked in for the day, a prominent banner appears at the top prompting you to start your time tracking session. Click Clock In to begin -- no need to navigate to a separate page.
Stats Cards
Two summary cards provide at-a-glance metrics:
- Open Work Orders -- Shows the count of pending work orders and how many were completed in the current period.
- Monthly Spend -- Displays total expenses in EUR for the current month with a percentage change compared to the previous month.
Each card is clickable and takes you directly to the relevant page.
Quick Actions
A row of shortcut buttons lets you perform common tasks without leaving the dashboard:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Work Order | Opens the quick-add dialog to create a new work order |
| Expense | Opens the quick-add dialog to log a new expense |
| Fuel Log | Opens the quick-add dialog to record a fuel entry |
| Inspect | Navigates to the Inspections page |
Role-Based Views
Your dashboard adapts based on your assigned role. Yipii Mobility supports seven roles:
| Role | Dashboard Focus |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to all features, stats, analytics, and system settings |
| Fleet Manager | Fleet-wide visibility across assets, maintenance, and reports |
| Office Staff | Operational overview with work orders, expenses, and scheduling |
| Reports Only | Read-only access to reports and analytics |
| Mechanic | Assigned work orders and maintenance tasks |
| Inspector | Inspection templates, scheduled inspections, and results |
| Driver | Assigned work orders, time tracking, and fuel logs |
Step 3: Learn the Navigation
The sidebar is organized into clearly labeled groups:
General -- Dashboard, Reports, Assets, Drivers, Users, Time Tracking
Fleet Management -- Devices (with sub-items for Device Models and SIMs), Utilization, Maintenance (Work Orders, Service Schedules, Diagnostics, Recalls, Expenses, Fuel Logs, Inspections), Procurement (Purchase Orders, Parts, Vendors), Compliance (Documents, Licenses, Warranties)
System -- Automations, AI Admin
Growth -- Referrals
Yipii Shop -- Purchase Devices, Refer and Earn
The header bar provides quick-access controls that are always visible:
- Search (
Cmd+K/Ctrl+K) -- Opens the command palette for instant navigation - Clock In -- Start a time tracking session from any page
- Theme toggle -- Switch between light and dark mode
- AI Assistant -- Open the Yipster AI panel for conversational fleet assistance
Step 4: Create Your First Asset
-
Navigate to Assets -- Click Assets under the General section in the sidebar.
-
Click "Create Asset" -- Find the button in the top right corner.
-
Fill in Asset Details
- Name -- Give your asset a descriptive name (e.g., "Delivery Van #1")
- Type -- Select the asset type (Vehicle, Equipment, Trailer, etc.)
- Subtype -- Choose a more specific category
- Custom Fields -- Add additional information like VIN, license plate, or serial number
-
Upload Photos (Optional) -- Add photos of your asset. The asset list shows photo thumbnails for quick visual identification.
-
Save -- Click "Create" to save your first asset.
After creation, the Assets page displays stats cards for Total Assets, Active, With Reference, and Categorized. Assets that are linked to an IoT tracking device show a link indicator badge.
Step 5: Assign a Tracking Device
If you have GPS trackers or IoT devices:
- Go to Fleet Management > Devices > Devices in the sidebar.
- Find your device by IMEI or serial number.
- Click "Assign to Asset".
- Select the asset you created in the previous step.
- Save the assignment.
Your asset will now show real-time location data on the map, and the IoT link indicator will appear on the asset in the Assets list.
Step 6: Create a Work Order
-
Navigate to Work Orders -- Go to Fleet Management > Operations > Work Orders in the sidebar, or use the Work Order quick action button on the dashboard.
-
Click "Create Work Order" -- Start a new maintenance task.

- Asset -- Select the asset this work order is for
- Priority -- Set urgency (Low, Medium, High, Critical)
- Assigned To -- Choose who should complete the work
- Due Date -- Set a deadline
-
Add Parts and Labor (Optional) -- Track costs by adding:
