GitLab Sync

Time logged in GitLab becomes hours in Exact Online, so your developers log their time once.

What it does

  • Time logs (/spend) become draft hours in Exact Online: one line per person, issue and day.
  • GitLab issues become WBS activities and milestones become deliverables on the linked Exact project.
  • Approval comes back: submitted, approved and rejected hours show as labels in GitLab.
  • People are matched on their email address. Approved hours are never overwritten; later changes are shown as conflicts to review.
  • Works with GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab (versions 17 to 19).

Good to know

  • You need your own Exact Online subscription and a GitLab access token.
  • Exact Online is connected to this app per organization. Then link each GitLab project to an Exact project.
  • Developers keep working in GitLab as before; administration stays in Exact Online.
  • Part of the MVdW-Software app platform that connects to Exact Online: one sign-in, your team, and a subscription per app.
