I want to fill in 'Pick List' via an API call.

Note ownership change
Hi, Quick question, why does the owner of the note in a record change when the owner of the record change to the new owner? This does not not make any business sense. The owner of the note should never change. I want to see who added notes to the record regardless of who the owner of the record is or who it changes to. This happens in leads, I have not checked out any of the other modules. Please let me know what you find. Thanks, Adam
Just Implemented - Live for a couple of days - Notes to developers. Brain dump if you like with the hope of improvement.
Some things I have noticed. No particular order. Importing. Bug with 0 prefixed zip codes. It truncates the zero on import. Causes corrupt data. Problem is - we never noticed it at first. Views. Need the ability to stop users creating views and/or changing them and/or deleting them. Day 2 - we have 24 views created by rank and file people. Obviously no naming convention was used - and it cluttered up everyones general views. On views. eg. my accounts. You cannot restrict to my accounts and say
Print Preview formatting incorrectly on IE6
Internet Explorer 6: I'm using Creator to pull in a Reports spreadsheet. Works great, but when I go to the browser's Print Preview there's some weird formatting that makes the text unreadable, printing over itself. This is the same if I use the Print option provided by Zoho, or using the browser print option. Works fine in Firefox. Am attaching two PDF's; one shows how the application looks, one shows the print preview appearance.
Outlook plug in disabled
Hi My outlook plugin appears to be disabled and I cant get it working again! After installing it, it seem to be causing a few issues and crashed outlook a couple of times. An error message then popped up in outlook asking if I wished to disable the plug in, which I did (as I needed to send an urgent email). This appeared to make outlook stable again, but I can work out how to try turning the plug in back on! The plug in manager does not seem to have Zoho listed and it akes no difference if

Web To Lead Problems
In the past couple days, it appears many of our web to lead forms are no longer working properly. When I went in today to see if all the fields were still selected, and generated new html for the form, I see that many of the fields and custom fields have new names. What is going on? Has Zoho renamed all of our custom fields, making our web forms inoperable?
Zoho CRM Upgrade
I'm currently using the free version and might have to upgrade because of the limit on the custom fields. If I read the terms of the Professional version correctly, the first three users are free. You begin paying when you add a fourth user. Is that correct? If so, there is a problem with the upgrade form. I only have two users and can't upgrade without paying.
Zoho CRM Mail Add-on configuration with Federate login from Google Apps problem
I created user in Zoho CRM User got invitation by email and clicked on the link inside invitation, then he did first login in with his Google Apps Account instead of creating password and Zoho login name. Zoho CRM allowed user to login to Zoho CRM with his Google Apps account. But I have to configure Zoho CRM Mail Add-On and it asks me the password for Zoho Mail (user does not input any Zoho Mail password because he logged in first with the federate login from Google Apps).

changing a login name
While playing around trying to learn how to use ZOHO CRM I made two accounts for myself (using two different log ins and e mails) so I could understand how assigning tasks etc works. Now that I am comfortable with it, I'd like to eleiminate one of those accounts and instead sign up one of my employees who will help me role out the software. I am able to edit everything about the user except the ZOHO CRM ID. How do I do that? I want to, in effect, delete one of the three current users and create a
Leads do not have accounts associated to them while contacts do, how to deal with this
Hi, while it sounds totally obvious that leads do not have accounts associated to them, in practice, I'm running into some issue with this. How does one deal with multiple people from one company (admins, et cetera) before a lead gets converted to an contact+account+oppty? Or do you just convert them pretty early on in the process?

However I just noticed that the data is missing, every time you enter a date - it disappears. I have lost some critical dates now since I have no other record other than ZOHO on the custom date.Can someone please advise me what might be happening ?
Email Template workaround needed
Hi All, Our email templates have gotten out of control since we implemented the system a 18 months ago. We never really used the wildcard functionality so I have hundreds of the similar emails from each person on my sales team. The wildcard and add user signature functionality goes a long way to cleaning this up but each email template has a mandatory requirement to be from a specific user when it is saved. This works fine when a user picks a template and sends email one at a time but when the
Create User for CRM
I have create users and the invitations have been sent. This was easy. However, Zoho logins no longer accept the @ symbol. The Create User function sets the user name to the email address so now of the invitees can not login. The system does not allow be to change the login ID so we are stuck. How do we solve this problem? Thanks, Jamie

This is probably very simple but its driving me mad. When i export my contacts from outlook as a csv file and the import it into zoho the address fields are not populating correctly. The address is populating the first line with all of the address. the address format in outlook does not have commas to seperate the line in the address does this matter? I have 5500 contacts to import so i need to get this right. Thank you in advance matt
Converting some contacts back to leads (with the API) - how to create tasks
Hi, I'm looking into converting some contacts back into leads. We've made a few mistakes setting things up and using the API I was thinking of turning a few of these mistakes back into leads. Now I also want to port back the tasks associated with these contacts back to the leads. So my question is, how can I create tasks associated to a particular lead (or contact for that matter, since I assume it won't differ). thanks! Alef

Hi, is there a way to have a report in which I can see the invoices and the purchase orders related to each other by the subject? I create a sales Quote > sales order > sales invoice always using the same "project" name. I create a purchase order using the same "project name. Can I create a report where I see them all together?

Zoho apps Integration
I have been using Zoho Crm for over a year now, I recently started playing around with Zoho Business and Zoho Projects thinking of dropping outlook, but at this point I don't think this can happen. 1. Calendar not syncing between CRM and Business Calendar and Projects - having just one calendar to manage is great!!! 2. No Blackberry sync 3. Task syncing between all apps- again one place to manage all tasks well any of those be addressed at all in the future?

Syncing contacts
Hello, I'm an SFDC vet now using Netsuite (shudder). Zoho looks fabulous! In SFDC and Netsuite, I've used an Outlook plugin (which looks similar to Zoho's solution) to sync contacts (owned by me) to my local Outlook install. Then, that gets synced through MS Exchange, and I can have all of my contacts synced over the air to my blackberry or palm, etc. I'm very interested in getting rid of the Outlook piece alltogether and going with something like Zoho+GMAIL or Zoho+ZohoMail. From the demo videos,
Please tell us what new features and bug fixes are in development
I think it would be very helpful for many Zoho CRM administrators and general users if Zoho would publish and regularly update a list of new features and/or Bug Fixes. One of the most frustrating things for me as I regularly read the forums is the generic response from Zoho that "our development team is looking at adding this into future updates". There is never a timeline and never any real hint as to when the feature or bug fixes might be available. If Zoho would share some of their plans with

When you view it in CRM it looks exactly as we built it...however when it sends via report scheduler it keeps on the first grouping and looses the other one. First Group is by Probability. Second Group is by Closing Date.This is a very importany report for us so please advise.

API Method - deleteRecords - Error 4500 Problem occured while processing the request
Sorry, I am realy disappointed by Zoho support. I developed API loader for Accounts table - tried to use it on a file that have 2000 recors. I don't know what happend, but in my CRM appeared 20,000 of empty records - i don't think that it empty recorsds were created by my API loader - I think that there is an issue with API, becouse I tried to load on small files (few records) and my loader worked ok. I called suppert to ask for help. Connected by desktop sharing. They told me that they can't help
Scheduling Reminders
I want to set up a workflow that will send a reminder to a person when they haven't followed up. Specifically, when the status of "review" (a custom field) is changed to "needed" I want to record the date and if the status of this field does not change to "completed" I want to send an email every week.

Enterprise Integration?
Hi Zoho Team and Users Does anyone have experience with enterprise integrators such as RunMyProcess or BOOMI ? It's possible to realize pretty cool stuff (take a look at this) and I'm quite surprised that enterprise software integration is hardly a topic in the Zoho forums. Amongst many other things, I'm interested to link Zoho CRM / Zoho invoice with the Chinese SaaS accounting software Youshang.com. Thanks for your feedback and opinion!
Leading Zeros in Zip Code Field missing
When I use the migrate data from other CRM feature, if my zip code starts with a zero Zoho will delete it. For instance if I have a valid zip code of 06902, Zoho deletes the first zero. The default Zip Code Field is a text field and i've try using an integer field. Is there anyway to fix this? This is a very serious problem with Zoho CRM and I can't believe it can't import a proper zip code.
