Custom features - View tasks, calls and events in same list in chronological order
i'm very satisfied with Zoho CRM but i think that it lacking a basic functionality for us, I would love to order a company's closed activity list, chronologically, but this is not possible because calls respect to tasks or events They do not have a single date field that I can order. Just look at the picture to understand my deep discomfort and my simple problem. I would like this feature very much. Anyone know how to help me?

Search for records in specific modules without applying filter.
It's Wednesday and we've got a simple yet effective hack for you. Search is one of the most widely used tools in Zoho CRM. Zoho CRM's global search allows you to query across multiple modules at the same time. So, a global search for leads, in addition to pulling, the leads, pulls even the tasks, event, calls and contacts.. Won’t it be more useful and contextual if the search shows the records available within a specific module? Consider you are on an inbound call with Zylker about a quote just

User Performance Component
Hi, I'm looking to create a component where I can track YTD sales amounts for each of my salespeople. I would like one component to show me the following columns: 1. User Name 2. Closed Deal $ Amount 3. Open Deal $ Amount. The problem I am running into is that in creating a report, I can only use two columns, User Name and Amount.

Scheduled calls not showing up in upcoming activities
Hello. I am trying to use the Calls function in activities rather than marking it as Tasks. Why isn't a scheduled call for a future date no showing us as upcoming Activity on the top of the page as does the future task schedules? This is an issue because when looking at an account that has a future call scheduled, there isn't a upcoming event bar at the top of the page which is deceiving. Please address or explain by this is the case. Thank you, Boris
Webform redirect is stripping out valuable referral data
Hi all When tracking web conversions, we typically see lots of valuable data within Google Analytics and Google Adwords called Source/Medium. This tells us which 3rd party sites etc our users came from. Lately our download pages have started using an embedded Zoho WebForm and we're losing this data. I believe this is because when a user completes a web form, they are temporarily redirected to Zoho CRM before being passed onto our "thank you for downloading" page. Does anyone know how to retain referral

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to reflect in a field when the last communication (email) was performed. There is any way to reflect in a field the last communication (email) date or the difference between the last communication and the current date.

Can you pull data from another module?
Hi there, I'm in the process of customizing my Zoho setup. I can't seem to figure out how to populate a field in one module with data form a field with the same name in another module. For example. I have a module called "Leads" and a module called "Offers". Both modules have a custom field called "Current Value". Ideally, I would like to populate this field in the Leads module and then when I create an "Offer" for that lead, be able to link to that data. Hope I'm explaining this right. Any ideas?

Invitees added to a Event or task
I have a couple of questions regarding invitees. When I add an invitee to an event or task is it possible to have the email send a outlook meeting request rather than just a text message. This would allow us to set up meetings with clients or other resorces in outlook. We do this now with outlook and it makes the customer experience so much better than have them manually enter an appointment. Is it possible to have invitees advised automatically if the task they have been added to is changed? Thanks

CRM Hack #12: Lock down a pick-list value field for all users but for select few, once a specific value is selected
Hello Everyone ! Zoho CRM provides the flexibility to set up access permissions at field level. What if your business process warrants you to drill down a bit further? For instance, let’s assume your sales process involves obtaining legal clearance for select deals and the same needs to be tracked using a pick list capturing lead status. Say the pick list contains 8 values namely Attempt 1, Attempt 2, Contacted, Contact in future, Legal check, Legal cleared, Send Document and Document received.
Loading a picklist from a custom function?
Hello, I was wondering if I could load a picklist in the Accounts module with values from a custom function? I have a picklist field statically populated with a list of our facilities. Is there a way that I could populate this data via the api or a webhook that will fill it with the information from our database? Also is there a way to have list item pairs in the picklist? Such as an id value is behind the scenes of the display value? Thanks, David

Duplicate Cases
Hi, Firstly i will give a brief introduction to how im using Zoho CRM... I have customised it so i can use it to enter and track jobs for my business. I have changed the "Accounts" module to "clients", the "contacts" module is now "customers" and the "cases" module is now "jobs". Our "clients" are companies who send us "jobs" relating to "customers". So Zoho CRM will work well as you can easily link these 3 modules which will allow me to have "jobs" related to "customers" which are then related

Tip # Formatting address for templates
Blank lines in address blocks in any output look ugly. Get rid of them by using the following code in a custom field. Make sure the "Formula Return Type" is set to String. This was designed for the Quotes module so you'll need to replace the filed names ( the ${Module.FieldName} ) if you' are working in a different module. Concat( If(Len(Trim(${Quotes.Billing Street}))>0,${Quotes.Billing Street},''), '<br/>', If(Len(Trim(${Quotes.Billing City}))>0,${Quotes.Billing City},''), '<br/>', If(Len(Trim(${Quotes.Billing
Tip # Getting a Custom Date Field
Lets say you need a custom date field 30 days from today. The formula in the custom filed is this Datepart(Adddate(Now(),1,'MONTH')) But understand that whilst Adddate() returns a Date/Time, Datepart() returns a String so when you create your custom field set "Formula Return Type" to String. I made this post because once you've created your custom field you can't change the "Formula Return Type", you have to delete the formula from your layout and if you want to re-use the same field name, from the

Create Payment for Quickbooks Online
Currently you can create a number of modules with the “intuit.quickbooks.create” however, I can only create an invoice and not a corresponding payment. Two questions: 1.) What would it take for the code behind the scenes to support the “Create” function for a payment? Or, 2.) Can you help me with a post url code to essentially do the same. I know how to construct the contents of the post but not all of the other mechanisms for the POST to intuit.
Attachments in CRM via dropbox - general request
Hi Zoho, I have tried each cloud integration and found funny glitches about each one of them. Ultimately, I am using dropbox. My only complaint about dropbox is how it acts when you convert leads to contacts. You windup with two user folders - one in the leads bucket and one in the contacts bucket, and the documents which were in leads stay there and won't appear anywhere else unless you move them over to the contact. It would be great if somehow the dropbox lead attachments automatically moved
CRM users mix levels
Do all agents have to be at the same level within the organisation?, ie I have some that require mainly sales functions, so they only need a full crm with products and quote ability, some that cross over so they need desk and basic crm obviously to keep my costs to a minimum this would be ideal to have say a combination of free and professional users (or above) but I dont know if this is possible or not Kevin

ZohoCRM > Workflow Automation > Execute Based on 'Field Update' missing
We have a number of Workflow rules created in our Accounts to trigger an Action based on a 'Field Update' I recently noticed this is not working as expected and low and behold when checking the setup see that 'Field Update' is not longer appearing in the UI (old and new) and instead the action has defaulted to 'Create or Edit' record. There has been no indication or warning of this functionality change and I can still see that the setting did exist as the documentation has yet to be updated!!!! Please
New Contact - like in Books.
Hello, Is it possible to integrate Accounts & Contacts better, like that in Zoho Books. I deal with both businesses (Accounts) and individuals (Contacts), therefore I need to be able to invoice both Accounts and Contacts. This works very well in Books, where I can select 'Contact Display Name' and choose whether I want the business name (if relevant) or the contact name as that which I refer to. It would great if I could replicate this in CRM so that everything syncs seamlessly. Please advise. Thanks.
