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?

Before heading to the details, here is a quick look at the changes.



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

  • Users from the Users and Control group have been moved to the General group.

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.

                                                                                                            I'm curious as to the difference between a "Reply" and a "Comment" on a ticket. It appears that "Replies" are what's used to determine response time SLA's and there are also used to automatically re-open tickets. I'm just trying to understand the key differences so I can educate both our clientele and our back-end users on which function/feature to use to better improve the ticket lifecycle. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated. Thanks!

                                                                                                            Howdy, I'm a newbie and finding Zoho an improvement to MS Word. Consider yourself hugged. High on my wish list would be plain text cut-and-paste. When pasting text from the web to Zoho, presently Zoho imports the formatting along with the text. This means that every cut-and-paste operation brings in text in a different font, size, or style. Can we have at least the option of importing plain text without formatting (or better yet, is this option already out there?) ... Thanks Helen
