In Zoho CRM, data is categorized into groups or divisions based on similarity. Each division that has similar data is called a "module". For example, 'Leads' is a module that contains all your leads' details. Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Quotes etc. are other examples of modules. In Zoho CRM, modules are of two major kinds - default modules and custom (or user-generated) modules. All these tabs (red underlined in the screen grab above) that you see in your Zoho CRM top header, are different modules.Community Digest - February 2020
