Zoho and TeamTrack are dead, and in their place we’ve unlocked the biggest integration the portal has ever had: the portal, your calendar and Teams now working as one system. The whole company is in it, so here’s the honest tour: what it does, what it can’t do, and what’s coming because of it.
Pencilled allocations are always visible in the portal, but only confirmed allocations land in your Outlook calendar.
Dates, project, ZP number.
One event covering the whole stretch.
Confirmed, and it’s in your diary.
See everything of yours in one place.
Your balance is always there.
The portal counts them for you.
For those dates, before you ask.
And gets one nudge a day while anything waits.
You hear by email and Teams, and approved leave lands in your Outlook as “Off”, whatever kind of leave it is.
Every line here is literal and checkable. If any of it ever changes, this page changes first.
Your requests and their outcomes reach you and your manager — requested, decided, recorded, booked, cancelled or withdrawn; one daily nudge to managers with waiting requests; a daily ZP-number note to PMs; and project confirmations to you. That is everything.
Who it comes from: email from Zeal Portal, Teams cards from Workflows (Microsoft’s name, not ours). Real, ours, safe to click.
Open anyone in people: profile, calendar, and, where it’s your business, time off. My area is simply your own page. What you can see depends on who you are, exactly as it should. Your certifications are yours to maintain there too, with an honest “pending” pill while a new date waits for confirmation.
Emergency contact, dietary bits, sizes. Two minutes that save someone chasing you on a show day.
It came from Zoho and it should be right to the half day, if it isn’t, say so.
In your area, so you know where the feed lives, and trust the new senders: Zeal Portal in email, Workflows in Teams.
It now lives in your area, with a count badge, and the daily nudge keeps score until it’s clear.
As with every new system, real-world use is the only way to truly find them. When something doesn’t look right or doesn’t work the way you expect, please tell Steve so we can fix it. Nothing is too small, and early is always better.
Everything above works because people, projects, bookings, calendars and messages now live in one connected place. That’s the point. Each thing the portal takes on makes the next one possible, and this weekend is the first real step towards the Zeal PA: an assistant that can genuinely help, brief you, chase loose ends, take admin off your plate, because it finally has one place to look.
Projects and the planner in the portal · calendars connected, both directions · time off in the portal. Goodbye Zoho, goodbye TeamTrack.
A big round across existing features, driven by your feedback.
The assistant this weekend’s work makes possible.
Passports, certs and PLI to start, and the key that unlocks another wave of planned features.
The same portal, opened out to the people we work with.
Open your page, check your balance, and put in that holiday you’ve been sitting on. Watch it turn up in your own calendar.
