Hover Over Information on the Classic Setting Home page
I have been in sales for 20+ years and used everything from Salesforce to Zoho. I have a suggestion that may help many sales people using this system for daily prospecting. As most sales people are accustomed to doing, we make calls daily. We need to be able to see enough information on an Account to make the right decision to call now or later. To do so, you need more information on the Account and at the minimum an address including city and state. In my world, I have a sales territory that

ZOHO CRM does not stay logged in.
We have recently switched to Zoho and we use CRM constantly throughout the day. All of my staff are reporting that their sessions will not stay logged in. I have verified everyone selects the "Keep me logged in" option on login, and there are a number of different platforms and browsers being used, so it is not a browser specific issue. This is incredibly frustrating, as they may go to log a call, and they suddenly need to log in while on the phone. I have tried setting it up to log in automatically

Insert Call/Telesales Script in Leads & Opportunities
We are going to have our telesales team / lead gen group use ZOHO to make outbound phone calls. Rather than have them flip back and forth between apps / tabs I'd like to insert a call script at the top of the lead and opportunity layouts so that they can read the script, then answer the questions in the fields I have already created to qualify opportunities. The issue I am running into is that all of the field options are for input rather than displaying information. I need a field or box that

Can't see account name in iphone app potentials
I have many potentials that are the same name because customers are considering buying the same products, however when on my iphone app all i can see is the potential name, meaning i either have to add the account name to the front of the potential name or click through each potential until I find the right one. Adding the account name to the front solves the problem on the iphone but creates a really clustered potentials tab on the web browser. Is there any other solution to this? Thanks

Attn. CRM API Developers - We Support only HTTPS
Hello, Today, I am pleased to announce an important change in our Developer API. At present, we are supporting both HTTP and HTTPS while implementing our developer API.

CSV File problem in potentials migrations
Hi, Sorry to bother you all, and I apologize in advance if the solution to my problem has already been discussed, but I couldn't find it: I am new to Zoho and trying to import a csv file in order to map it with the required fields. There 's no problem with the import, however, when I want to map my fields, there is only one available (Col.1) which is, if I had to guess, the first line of my file all combined, which makes it impossible for me to map my fields correctly, and therefore, to create

BUG REPORT: formula field of boolean type executes without user input/edit in INVOICES module
We created a formula field of Boolean type in Invoices and were very surprised to see the newly created forumula field in ALL the records marked as FALSE (independently on whether the condition is actually met or not), when we haven't even edited the records! The correct behaviour, as it happens in all other modules, is that the formula field does not execute UNTIL the record is EDITED by the user. Editing a single field in the module does not alter the FALSE value created by Zoho, but editing the
Activity Description Justification
Zoho CRM is used for sales pipeline prospecting. I utilize the description field to add limited remarks on conversations, voicemails, etc. The justification is set at <center> which is very hard to determine where each note stops and starts. Would be much better for all columns to be justified <top> or <left>. An example is attached. I have begun adding 3 asterisks (***) to denote where a new note starts. Need some help making a simple hard code change here.
