Challenge:
Build a Travel Approval App 
Add Reports and Dashboards to a Travel Approval App 
Create a Travel Requests by Department Report

Problem with Data Import

Error:
The matching field you chose (Travel Approval #) is not mapped and is required for an Update and Insert operation.

When I try to import data, I face this issue, and the import fails

NOTE:
Travel Approval # is an Auto Number TA-{0000} starting from 1.
In a previous challenge I faced a problem, to which I changed Auto Number to Text and back to Auto Number to restart numbering from 1.

Could this the issue here?
 

Currently, you can only show 3 layers in the map in the right pane. Is there a way to overlay all existing travel routes already assigned to the service personnel so that you can identify which route would be best suited for the pending appointments?

 

This would be not using any automatic sceduling functionality, but a manual drag and drop option once the appropriate route is identified.

I need to develop a travel desk app for my organization. I have created some objects called vendors(who will provide the vehicles and drivers), pricing slabs(where each vendor's pricing slab for vehicles and drivers will bemaintained),travel routes ( in this our organization's travel routes will be present) and drivers. these are the master objects. 
I need the business logics to be implemented like what type of validation rules can be crated,use cases for process builders,workflow rules,approval processes etc.
for eg, whenever a vendor has a contract with our org an email should be sent to the travel admin of our company using workflow:email alerts.
similarly i need more use cases in order to develop the app.

Please share your thoughts. Thank you in advance!!

May I get some assitance with my Apex Trigger?
The trigger should fire if the Travel Request record isn't an exemption. This is indicated by a check box:
 

trigger CreateTask on Travel_Request__c (before insert) 
{
list<task> listtask = new list<task>();
    for (travel request = trigger.new)
    {if (Exemption == 'True')
    {task NewTask = new task();
    NewTask.subject = 'Create Call Report';
    NewTask.duedate = system.today().adddays(7);
    NewTask.whatID = Id;
    listtask.add(NewTask);
    }
    
    }
if (listtask.size()>0)
insert listtask;
}
