The development of the ZEP versions and all updates in detail.
ZEP 7.7
New dashboard widgets 🆕
Three new dashboard widgets are now available, which are specifically approved for administrators and department heads because they contain sensitive employee data:
- All overtime — Shows the overtime and hours worked by all employees at a glance.
- Billable hours — provides an overview of billable and non-billable hours for all employees.
- All annual vacations — Shows all vacation accounts of your employees, including vacation plans that have already been approved and planned.
With the widgets overtime and annual leave The displayed status refers to the evening of the previous day. Current hours or newly submitted vacation requests from today are therefore not yet included.
Internal hourly rates at process level 🆕
From now on, in ZEP, you can internal hourly rates directly at process level Define. As a result, internal project costs can be calculated and evaluated even more precisely — for a more transparent and accurate project evaluation.
ZEP 7.6
Templates & calendar integration 🆕
With the new templates Now you can record project times even faster and more conveniently. You can create up to eight personal templates for your most frequent project time bookings, add an abbreviation and reuse them at any time in a flash.
The application is extremely simple: With just one click, the project time recording mask opens — or you drag and drop the template directly to the appropriate location in the calendar. This saves you valuable time and reduces recurring entries to a minimum.
Also new: the Google and Outlook calendar integration.
All appointments from your calendar are automatically displayed in the project time overview and give you a clear overview of your day at any time. By clicking on an appointment, you immediately create a project time entry — the title of the appointment is automatically included in the comment.
There are also two new widgets available on the dashboard:
- Project hours — Shows the total number of hours booked for a project compared to the planned hours and the hours that are still open.
- Project hours employees — Shows how many hours individual project employees have booked for a project in a selected period of time.

With the new Dashboard 2.0, you can now make your personal ZEP homepage more flexible than ever before. The editing mode (top right) allows you to create up to five individual dashboards — perfect for keeping a close eye on various roles, projects or areas of responsibility, for example.
Widgets can be freely arranged, resized, renamed, or simply shown and hidden. New widgets can also be added with just a few clicks. Many widgets provide you with advanced filter and display options — for example, the targeted display or hiding of table columns or the individual sorting of content.
The widgets “All Offers”, “All Tickets” (each with the module activated) and “Birthdays” have also been added — for an even better overview of everyday working life. Read how to configure your dashboard here.
