Updated this week

This article explains how to enable the Multi-Equipment Time Tracking feature in BusyBusy. This feature allows employees to clock in to multiple pieces of equipment at once—including attachments, trailers, and tools—and see this information reflected in reports for more accurate labor and equipment cost tracking.

Good to know: You must have permission to manage company settings to enable the use of Multi-Equipment Time Tracking.

Steps to Enable Multi-Equipment Time Tracking (Web)

  1. Log in to BusyBusy on the web

  2. From the left navigation menu, click Settings. Then, Time Keeping.

  3. Click on the Equipment Tracking section.

  4. Enable Track Time on Equipment (if not already enabled).

  5. Once Equipment Tracking is enabled, you’ll see a new option labeled Multi-Equipment Tracking.

  6. Enable Multi-Equipment Tracking to ON.

  7. Click Update at the bottom before closing out the window.

If “Track Time on Equipment” is turned off, the Multi-Equipment Tracking toggle will not appear.

Steps to Enable Multi-Equipment Time Tracking (iOS & Android)

  1. Open the BusyBusy app on your mobile device.

  2. Tap the Menu (three lines) in the top-left corner.

  3. Go to Settings (admin-only access).

  4. Tap Company.

  5. Toggle on Track Time on Equipment.

  6. Once enabled, the Multi-Equipment Tracking option will appear. Toggle it ON.

  7. The settings are saved automatically once toggled.
