Time
Tracking
Zen-O allows teams to track planned vs. actual time spent on assigned projects, tasks, and activities. Members can record, review and adjust their timesheets. Managers can review, approve and plan LOE estimates for tasks. Employee timesheets can be automatically generated and exported.

Creating and managing user accounts, notifications and settings, and user roles and permissions is easy in Zen-O. Access to system functions, projects and files is controlled through role-based security settings.
