Equipment types are used to help organize your equipment, such as commercial vehicles, construction vehicles, power tools, etc. Equipment is the actual equipment being used by your employees, such as a truck, backhoes, jackhammers, etc.

After your equipment has been added to ExakTime Connect, it can be selected by your employees when clocking in. If you have an extensive list of Equipment, you can use Groups to group similar equipment on ExakTime Mobile so it is easier to look through the equipment list.
