Tip #26: How to avoid some files from getting added to Attachment viewer



We all love to use the 'Attachment viewer' where all the file attachments are available at a glance. However sometimes we see some unwanted files get added there automatically. You can restrict certain files getting added to the attachment viewer using Filters. 

You can create a filter with the specific conditions, for which you do not want the attachments to be added to Attachment viewer. Ex: from specific senders or with specific attachment types etc. 

Then in the actions, select 'Do not add attachments to the Attachment viewer'. Once done the attachments of emails which match the given conditions will not be added to the attachment viewer. 



You can also explore the other filter options for various other such automated actions for incoming / outgoing emails. See you next week with yet another useful tip!

Got the TXT part (verified my domain), but whenever I try to add ANY user, I get the error: This user is not allowed to add in Zoho. Please contact support-as@zohocorp.com for further details I have emailed as well and writing here as well because when I searched, I saw many people faced the same issue and instead of email, they got a faster response here. My domain is: raisingreaderspk . com Hope this can be resolved.  Thank you

All your competitors deposit employee payroll, but they ALSO remit taxes automatically. Get with the program, your Payroll app is extremely sparse.

These updates give administrators more flexibility while inviting users, and give users more control over how their data is displayed. With this

Now the table widget does not load on mobile browsers. It loads fine on desktop, and it loads on a phone when we use "Request desktop site." Chrome DevTools shows this error in mobile

I've been able to troubleshoot everything EXCEPT the date fields; specifically the "start date" - which is quite important
