Zoho Duplicate Reference Numbers

Zoho Duplicate Reference Numbers

I have 2 accounts through zoho.

On one account if I enter a bill with the same number as a previous bill I get a warning message saying that there is already a bill with this number. However on the other account I do not get this message. How do I turn this on for the other account.

But when I try to create a new extension here https://sigma.zoho.com/workspace/testtesttestest/apps/new I d'ont see the option of Zoho Recruit (only CRM, Desk, Projects...). I do see extensions for Zoho Recruit in the marketplace. How would I go about to create one if the option is not available in sigma ? Cheers, Rémi.

This makes workflow allocation literally impossible while allocating potential to different members of the team. I have 15 licenses. Is there a way in which related alerts can be varied? In other words, is it possible to have different related alerts be triggered with different rule criteria. so if I say, if potential is 'x' then trigger related alert 'x' and if potential is 'y' then trigger related alert 'y' Thanks,
