With the ZEP browser extension, you record your working and project times quickly and conveniently, without having to open the ZEP web application. You start and stop time entries directly in your browser and keep track of your current working time at any time.
The extension is available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This article describes setup and use in both browsers.
Note: Which functions the extension offers depends on your product line. In ZEP Clock, you only clock in and out (with a live timer and the time shown on the icon). In ZEP Compact and ZEP Professional, you additionally record individual project times via Track project time; the travel-cost fields in the booking form are available only in ZEP Professional. Which buttons appear is also controlled by your tenant configuration.

The ZEP extension for Google Chrome provides the time clock and project-time recording directly in your browser toolbar.
