What's New in Zoho Subscriptions - March 2019

What's New in Zoho Subscriptions - March 2019

Hello Everyone,

In the past month, we've worked on new features that will help you save time while using Zoho Subscriptions, so you can focus more on growing your business. Here's what's new:

Export only what you see

With this update, you can choose to export only the data that's visible in your custom views and default filters for the Customers , Subscriptions and Invoices modules. This works great for when you want to export specific data unlike the usual data export.



Note: Currently, you cannot export the current view of default filters for the Customers module.

Create custom buttons for credit notes

You can now create custom buttons for credit notes, which let you trigger a custom function (written in Deluge ) right from the credit note details page. Notice a credit note that's remained unused for a long time? Go ahead and create a custom button to notify your customers via SMS .



Set an expiry date for your invoice links

The latest update lets you set an expiry date for public invoice links that you generate. Since these invoice links can be used to view, pay and download your invoices by anyone who has them, setting an expiry date can help avoid misuse in the long run.



Identify subscriptions easily with subscription numbers

From now on, subscriptions that you record will have subscription numbers instead of awkwardly put-together subscription names. This brings in the ability to search for subscriptions based on their unique subscription numbers. These subscription numbers will also be used in reports and other related entities like email templates and placeholders. You can also customize the generation of your subscription numbers by setting a custom prefix and suffix (next number) to suit your business needs.

Advanced search and column customization for credit notes

The Advanced Search option is now available for Credit Notes as well and lets you drill-down on a particular credit note with ease instead of going through them manually.



The Column Customization option is now available for credit notes. This lets you quicky show/hide columns in the credit notes list page, without having to create a new custom view.



Share custom views with selected users and roles

Those intricate custom views that you create can now be shared with selected users and roles. If your organization has numerous users, this will help declutter their view filters by making certain custom views visible only to users who need them. For example, you can share custom views that contain customer contact information with your salespersons alone.



We've also added new features to our Android and iOS apps, so be sure to check them out.

Keep an eye out on this space for more feature updates next month. Meanwhile, try out the latest features and let us know what you think about them in the comments below!

New to using Zoho, so this may already exist, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Is there a way to get the system pre-defined Account Lookup field (in our case, renamed to Company Name), as the starting point for a subform? In our company,

                                                                                                                Hey everyone, is it possible to adjust the default search criteria for finding and merging duplicate records? Right now, CRM uses some (in my opinion nonsensical) fields as search criteria for duplicate records which do nothing except dilute the results.
                                                                                                              • Text widgets in dashboards

It would allow adding links to related documents, relevant CRM views, etc. It would allow adding explanations of the data displayed in the other widgets, about how to interpret them or about filtering.
                                                                                                              • Is there a way to create a desktop shortcut for a website course portal?

An aggregate field is a column on which a mathematical function has been applied.
