Zoho CRM Community Digest - May 2023
Hello everyone!
Welcome to this month's digest! We are excited to present a curated collection of interesting and noteworthy discussions from the Zoho CRM forum. In this post, you'll find the latest announcements and event updates shared throughout the month of May. Get ready to dive in and stay updated on the most engaging topics and valuable insights that await you in this month's digest. Explore and enjoy!
Zoho CRM product updates:
- Formula Field Behavior update: Previously, when formula fields were removed from the layout, there was an issue where the system continued to calculate the formula field value in the backend whenever the related fields were updated. However, this behavior has now been fixed. If you choose to re-add the formula field, it will display the original value that was present at the time of removal. For more information, check this post.
- Users permission relates updates: Zoho CRM's latest user management enhancement introduces the "List Subordinates only" option, restricting user lists in assignment places to subordinates. This improves control and management in areas such as record owner assignment, record sharing, user lookup fields, and note mentions. Additionally, the "Manage Users" permission can now be specified for "Subordinates only" or "All users," offering greater flexibility. These updates significantly enhance user management and collaboration capabilities in Zoho CRM. To learn more, check out this post.
