Problem with creating lookup fields
I tried to create a lookup field as described in: http://zohocrm.wiki.zoho.com/Zoho-CRM---Custom-Fields.html#Create_Lookup_Field and when I follow the steps, the "lookup" option is not shown in the field information pulldown. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Matt

I'm looking to automate syncing of Outlook Tasks and Calendar so that they sync once per day, either when I open or close Outlook, or it could be done at a specific time per day. Is there a macro I can run in Outlook to make this possible?

Creating Quotes for Contacts Without Account
I've been informed that the Account information is transferred when creating a Quote. 50% of our leads do not have a company name (B2C). When they are converted, no account is created. Therefor, when creating a quote, the address information in missing. This has lead me to do the unthinkable having sales people create fake company names so when they convert them, they can create a quote with the address information. I really don't want to take it to the next level and have the web2lead put false

Duplicate values in Leads Pick List
I am trying to create a Pick List in Leads with the names of a large number of vehicles and models. When I try to do this I am being stopped from proceedng because there are duplicate values.

Mail-related questions/comments
I upgraded to the professional edition today so I can send out mass emails. Is there any way of finding out how many emails you have sent on a given day? As well, is there a way to tie the emails to the account instead of the contact? Alternatively, is there a way to view the emails sent to the contacts for an account on the account's page? I hate having to drill down into each individual contact's page to see what emails have been sent. And I'm still not sure how to fully integrate the Zoho Mail

Road map updates please
Zoho CRM moderators, Probably the single most used phrase found in moderator posts to questions is "We have that in our road map". I think it would be very helpful to your user community if you could share a little more info with us. I don't expect firm dates or timetables for release updates. I think most people understand that software development is like herding cats. It doesn't always go the way you want or expect. But at the same time, you could give us some general information. I really would
"Assigned to" field linked to Workflow Tasks' "Assigned to" field possible in Tasks and Events?
Is it possible to have an "Assigned to" field in Task and Events? I know I can make a "custom" field, but that's not what I want to do: I want to have it be the same "Assigned to" field that is in Workflow Tasks. Otherwise, when the workflow task is automatically assigned via the workflow rule, we cannot see who is responsible for that task in the Task and Events list. We have to manually add the person who is responsible in the Task and Events list, but this is not something we have the time to
Filter for "Add product to Proposals"
Hi, i was wondering is there a way to filter the results shown on the "Add Stock to Proposals" page? As my products are one off and only ever have one of them. I now have a large list of sold stock. Maybe a filter for "in stock, Sold, Due" would be good? Thanks Mark

Stuck with typo in email address for new unconfirmed user - now what do i do????
We have the Free Edition, which is limited to 3 users. Yesterday I added the 3rd user, and the system automatically generated an invitation for him to log in. However, I had made a typo in his email address, so he did not receive the invite, and his confirmation status is still "unconfirmed" How in the world can I fix this? He can't log in to do it himself. And with the Free Edition his status is Active, and his profile is automatically Administrator, which I cannot change. That means I cannot
Not receiving only some email ...not spam but customers
Hi. I've recently started to settle into using Zoho email in CRM and it all seems to be working fine except that i noticed recently that some emails i have been sent are not coming through. I still have outlook operating on my PC so i can compare what is received in Zoho with those emails from outlook and they should all be the same. Most are however as i mentioned already i have at least 2 cusotmers whose emails are not being received in Zoho but they are coming through in outlook. Everything else
Associate to an Account Task generated from and order
I need a reminder for invoicing that allow me tro track the amount, the invoice forecasted date and the supposed payment date. They can be more than one for each order, and I would like to track also for potentials. In any case they should be created before the invoice I could do it quite fine with task additional fields, but I cannot find a way to have a report that links task to accounts if I create them from and order or opportunity. Any suggestion? (also for a complete different approach) Thanks

Mini-Calendar Disappeared! Please bring it back with an option to turn off.
Dear Zoho, We use Zoho CRM to manage our appointment setting with our clients. As such we spend most of the day in and out of the calendar. Today, the mini-calendar disappeared. I called techincal support and was informed that some users complained that the front page was too busy. I agree that this is a valid concern. However, please be mindful that your userbase is not monolithic and different organizations use your software in disparate ways. Please bring back the mini-calendar and instead

contacts to cases custom field fill
So I notice that when I'm on a contact record, and scroll down to "cases" and click "New", that the Email field in the New Case automatically populates with the email field from the Contacts module. This excited me, as there are key bits of information in the Contacts module (I've renamed it Services) that I would like to autofill into the case every time to prevent the agony of retyping (and because I'm programming the first automatic email sent when a case is opened to include this information).

Hi, it looks like all the reports available (for example pipeline by stage and pipeline by probability) don't include potentials that have been won while I believe they really should. Unless there is a way and I haven't found it. Thanks in advance Marco
CRM Invoice App needs to be completed
Tracking a sales transaction from Quote to PO to Sales Order to Invoice is a critical element of every business. Please finish the CRM Invoice application. It needs to have more options for service companies as it handles inventory and per hour rates. It needs to have Paypal and other epayment options integrated right away. My clients need this to be completed, and I need it to be completed. I hope you will make it a priority. Scott Kaye Streamside CRM Scott@StreamsideCRM.com A ZOHO PARTNER Streamside

An interesting situation that requires suggestions/ solutions
Suppose I am working in a real estate development company, and I have enquiries which I treat as "potentials" in the CRM. Now, I want to take 10 customers together for a site visit on a Sunday, my question is how do I make an activity as "site visit" and record it for all the ten potentials without repeating the process 10 times? CRM should have a facility where I "Create" an activity and it should prompt me to select the participating "Potentials". Is such feature available or is there any other
Error Message: "Error while initializing the logfile" Any ideas
Greetings, Can anyone help. I paid for the Outlook Plugin, so I can be easily syncing my contacts and emails from Outlook & Zoho CRM easily. Unfortuntaely I have had problem loading the plugin.

I uninstalled the plugin, but it did something weird to my PC as I was unable to reboot. I then did a clean sweep and a System

SSL Error - can't get to Knowledge Base?!?
Am a new user and trying to figure out the basics. I need to convert my account to a company account, add a second user and change my title. When I search for help on these topics, some of the links go to the Zoho knowledge base, but both Chrome and Firefox deliver SSL errors (see below) warning not to access these pages. Can someone tell me when/if this will be fixed? Thanks. Chrome: You attempted to reach kbase.crm.zoho.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.zoho.com.

Phone Numbers dont show in potentials?
Hi, is there any way to map the Phone and mobile fields from leads & contacts to the potentials Fields "Phone & Mobile"? I have checked in the Leads setup - Map Fields but although there is an option to map the fields the drop down box doesn't contain the field i am after, Please help. Thanks Mark
Delayed workflow field update
I'm wondering if anyone using workflow field updates, would find value by having the field update delayed by x number of days? So for example, I would like to have the lead status field updated from "trial activated" to "trial deactivated", however, not to action this for 7 days, from point of record creation. The workflow tasks allow you to create by trigger date + x amount of days. Alternatively, if you could delay a workflow rule + x days, before actioning rule, then I guess this would work

Cardscan & Outlook Plug-in
Does anyone else use Cardscan to scan their cards into Outlook? I have been having trouble when I try to sync Cardscan to Outlook, then also sync Zoho CRM Outlook plugin. For some reason, it appears that having both of these programs sync with Outlook causes them to conflict. If I sync with Cardscan, then the Zoho Plugin thinks that many of the contacts have been updated when indeed they have not. Is there a remedy for this? Anyone else experience this? Thanks.
