I cannot create replicate our numbering scheme for Sales Orders in Zoho, any idea how to ?
We number our Sales Orders like this YYYYMMXXX, where YYYY is the booking year, MM the booking month, and XXX is an "Auto Number" being reset for each month. It seems to be a dealbreaker in the group to use Zoho CRM to be able to keep this numbering scheme. Now, it is important that this number is never a duplicate and it would be a pain to "skip" numbers as it would generate time-wasting researches. I've been fiddling around to find a solution ... but cannot seem to find a proper solution.

Creating a multi line quote template using HTML
Hi Not sure which forum this belongs to so perhaps i can post here and some one can point in the right direction. I am trying to create a template similar to the default quote template but im having issues with picking up multi line quotes as in the default quote template you can put multiple products in then generate the quote (export to PDF) which generates a multi line quote which lists out the products.

Zoho & Outlook ??
Why is it that when I click on the email of a contact it takes me directly to Outlook (which I like), and when I click on the "Whom to deal with" business card email (on the right side) in a potential it takes me to ZOHO's cheesy email program? Also quotes default to the ZOHO email program. I would like to default to Outlook in both cases - how do I that? Thanks!
Outlook Plugin Functionality
I just downloaded Zoho CRM today along with the Outlook plugin. There are a few things I'm trying to do that I'm not able to: 1) Is there a way to link multiple past email messages to a contact, or does it need to be done one at a time? 2) Does the secondary email field apply only to the Zoho Mail app and not the Outlook plugin? I've tried linking an email to a contact from his secondary email address, but I receive a message saying there are no matching records. 3) If the secondary email

Auto Generation of field values
We are familiar with doing auto generation in drop down fields in Zoho Creator using Deluge Scripting. We need to perform similar functionality in Zoho CRM. As an example, we need to do the following two tasks -- 1. In "Quote Module" page, We’d like to have the SUBJECT of the Quote get Auto Generated based on the following naming scheme: “Account Name – (Date) – (No. of quotes that day for this account) ". 2. Also, if we select "Credit Card" in Sales Order Module, how can we auto generate the information

Sync Changes between Account & Contact
I think it would be nice to see the option to make a change in the Account information, and be able to push that change to all of the contacts associated with that Account. For example, address changes, or industry type. However, it would be most beneficial if this synchronized changed could be an "opt" in change where the user could decide whether to push the change to all the associated contacts or not on a case by case basis.

zoho crm sucks
We installed the free version of zoho crm to replace google spreadsheet forms for a contact page. Note that the free version of web2leads in zoho apparently *does not* support notifying lead owners automatically. We thought it did because we could choose an email template. However this was a notification to the user, not the lead owner. As a result, our tests would generate an email but no other leads would notify us. So basically we lost over a months worth of leads. This is complete BS lead notification
Web-to-contact form notifications are in late or lost.
Hi there, I activated the feature Web-to-contact to my website, but the contact owner doesn't get the notifications instantly. He gets them all together at a certain time. What is the reason why this happens? Is there a way to get the notifications instantly? Then sometimes some contacts have been lost and the customers called us to complain that they sent a request, but they have not been answered. How may I be sure that the contact owner receives all the contacts from the Website? Thank you for
Accounts and Contacts
Hi, I'm thinking about setting up my business on Zoho CRM I don't really need all of the functionality seperation of leads, contacts, accounts. I sell to individuals so don't need that granularity. It looks to me like I only want to use the contacts field as that has the most relevant fields. However when it comes to other parts of tracking sales then an account is required. Can anyone with experience of Zoho CRM recommend how this should be handled? I don't want to duplicate the data in the
Date without Time format
Hi - Zoho CRM is becoming a valuable tool for us! I am writing about the Date Time format. I need a Date format without the time. I realize a workaround has been suggested, to use "Datepart(${Quotes.Created Time}) " Or something to this effect. However, we have a dataset that has been using Adddate(${Contacts.Trial Start Date},15,'DAY'). So I'm reluctant to try a different formula in the same field. I wish to use this format in email templates. The Time stamp would look funny if present. What

Bookmarklet to add contact or Account to Zoho CRM?
Does anyone know of an extension or bookmarklet that, when clicked, would add a new contact or account to the database using data from the website you might be currently on? For example, you are on switchboard or manta and you come across a company you want to add to your database. Instead of switching back and forth between screens and manually typing in the contact info. You press the bookmarklet and a prepopulated window comes up that allows you to add more info, change what it grabbed, and then

Alerts suddenly stopped working
We have an alert set up (workflow rule) that notifies the Lead Owner via email whenever a new lead comes in. This alert has suddenly stopped working, but still shows as "active" on the list. I have looked through the settings and can't see that anything has changed, however, if I go to re-create the rule I can't now see how to identify the Lead Owner as being the recipient of the alert. I can see a list of users, but presumably if I select each of them they will ALL get notified, whereas I just
