Coming soon in Dec: A revamped setup page in Zoho CRM

Last modified on: Thursday, 28th Dec, 2023
These changes in the setup page are currently in effect for all users in all DCs.

Dear customers,

We're pleased to give you a heads-up on the upcoming revamp of the Zoho CRM Setup Page.

These updates have been made with careful consideration to improve the organization and visibility of the setup page, ultimately enhancing your overall experience and efficiency on our platform.

We intend to provide further details on the motives behind this transformation to ensure your comprehension and acceptance of the enhancements we have implemented. 

Why are the changes made?

Simplified navigation
Our objective is to make it easier for you to find what you need when you need it. The revamped setup page offers a more intuitive and streamlined structure, reducing clicks and search time. It's designed to save you precious minutes and enhance your overall efficiency.

Consistency and clarity
In this update, we've standardized naming conventions, regrouped related features, and clarified menu structures. This consistency not only simplifies navigation but also reduces the likelihood of confusion, making your Zoho CRM experience more user-friendly.

User-centric approach

This redesign has been influenced by the feedback we have received from our community, taking into account the requirements, preferences, and recommendations. We have put in significant effort to develop a setup page that seamlessly integrates with your workflow.

Future-ready

The new setup page is built to seamlessly accommodate the requirements of a continuously evolving CRM, keeping the line of future enhancements and features in mind.

What changes have been made?

So without further ado, let's delve into the specifics we've made to the setup page.

  • Zia Voice has been removed from the new Developer Hub.
  • The SDKs menu has been combined with APIs and renamed as APIs & SDKs.
  • Zoho CRM Variables have been renamed to Variables.


When will the changes be phased in?

  • These changes are expected to be live for all users in all DCs by first week of December, 2023.
  • When the enhancement is rolled out, users who access the setup page in English will be greeted with a video demonstrating all the changes, while for users in other languages, a carousel will be prepared to guide them.

Thats all for the changes. We encourage you to explore the new setup page, and if you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please share them with us. Your input will continue to shape the Zoho CRM experience, and we're always here to listen and assist. Please let us know of your thoughts and feedbacks in the comments below.

We have two staff members in my team (me as the admin, and my employee). As we share the same services, I'm wondering how Zoho will pick the staff for new apointments.

We have some agents in the process who's responses require a pre-formatted layout. It would be incredibly handy to have a template for them where they can insert the template and then add their responses
