Importing a list of products to associate with accounts.
Hello, I've been researching this and haven't come up with a way of doing it. We already have a list of products in Zoho CRM. What I'd like to do is import a list to associate products that an account has. Example, XYZ Company has product 1 and product 2, is there a way to import this? Thanks, Paul
Changing billing and shipping state to 2 letter abbreviation picklist versus single entry (free form)
So, I contacted Support today because I want to eliminate the possibility for error or just to eliminate the potential for multiple ways of entering the billing and shipping state. The standard field is single line (manual entry). I want to just load the 2 letter abbreviation for each state and make it a picklist. Chat support says this is their current flow and thus not able to do it. This is mind-boggling. Anyone find an alternative? I removed the field, but can't delete and create my own new field.

Is the system updating without our knowledge?
I feel as if anytime I open the CRM something is changed around. It causes a lot of confusion with our sales team, and processes they are used to using. For instance, the "schedule/complete call" section is completely different now and its much more difficult to use, not to mention we are unable to put in the duration of the call. In turn this causes issues with our reporting because it shows the calls as "unattended dial." If there are going to be updates and changes could we get a heads up? Its

"Please try again after sometime"
Hi! I'm trying to edit a custom function in CRM, but when I click on the link, it says, "You cannot access this URL now because you have already accessed it more than the number of times allowed within a given span of time. Please try again after sometime". There's a screenshot attached to this post. How long is "sometime"? How many times per minute/hour/day am I allowed to edit a custom function? How soon can I edit this custom function, as my boss is expecting me to? Thanks!

Events Renamed As Meetings
Hello everyone! As events in CRM are synonymous with one-on-one or team meetings conducted for different sales activities, we have decided to rename the Events module to Meetings. The term "Events" has often been misinterpreted as major business gatherings like user conferences or hackathons. So, to avoid confusion, "Events" will be displayed as "Meetings" under the Activities module. What and where is the change in the v2 APIs? 1. Modules API (settings/modules) a.

The 'Need Help?' section in the CRM profile page has a new look. Previously, this section had two options: "Chat with us" and "Resources".

All I want to do is set the color of an event in my CRM Calendar!
Our business has struggled in using the Zoho CRM calendar to its maximum potential because the CRM Calendar Views get overwhelming and messy.(I think most users view the CRM calendar for events rather than the "Activities" tab list view). We have had to figure out ways around the hurtles waiting on more integration between Zoho CRM and Zoho Calendar. (years to be exact) All we need is the ability to do these steps in Zoho CRM Calendar 1. Color code an Event by Event Owner or select the Event's color

Why is Log A Call so complicated?
I simply want to log a call. The Create Call page requires a recording of a call. The page does not include the phone number of the contact that I am calling. I'm not a call center...I'm a single salesperson who wants to track activity, create a follow up task, and send an email. Why is it necessary to record the call? Why can't this be disabled? I'm not interested in tracking seconds per call and all of the details required by an inside sales team or call center. Isn't there an easier way to do

Font color and weight - make it darker!
While I like the functionality of Zoho, the font weight and color are a challenge to read. The light grey sans serif is popular/modern, but it seems like it was designed by folks with perfect eyes for other people with perfect eyes. Please change the font weight and color across the board to make it heavier and darker. The products I use are ZohoCRM, Zoho Sales IQ (primarily the desktop app,) and Zoho Desk. Zoho Calendar has a great weight and color and is easy to read.

How to Use a Function to Assign a Tag to Contacts in CRM
Within the CRM, I have multiple contacts that will be associated with a Deal (we call them Opportunities). Contacts may be added even after the Deal is closed. For email campaigns and reporting, it would be helpful to be able to tag contacts as they are added to deals (we only have a few different types of deals). Using a workflow that triggers whenever a deal is created/edited. I think a function is the trick. The function should work something like this: Function looks at the Deal Type (this is

Hi. I created a new user profile and assigned several users to it. Those users can't complete tasks that are assigned to other users.

locked CEO role
I signed to Zoho CRM and became a CEO of the company, which I'm not. Anyways we will just turn a blind eye to it. I invited my CEO and assigned a role to him. Now I'm thinking, let's say I will leave the company in the future - and what then? Obviously the company will want to delete my account, but then If I'm locked as MAIN account/CEO to Zoho CRM they won't be able to. I won't be working in the company anymore, but my account will have to be activated. Any solution to this? Cheers, Sylwia
Dependency Fields - Word of the day #63
In Zoho CRM module layouts, there could be certain fields whose values depend on another field's value. This can be defined as a parent-child relationship. For example, let's say there are two fields - Country and State - in your Leads module. The values in the State field will depend on the country that you select from the Country field. Similarly, the values for the Sub-Department field will depend on the Department field that you select. This kind of relationship is established by mapping dependency

I have searched the forums etc but haven't been able to find a solution, I'm sure its very easy for someone who knows deluge. Thank you in advance! Harry

Add City to Company
Guys, We sell to food manufacturing plants across the country. Often, one manufacturing company has multiple locations. To sure it's easy to recognize the specific factory location by name, we add the city. For instance - Del Monte Foods - Plover, or Del Monte Foods - Rochelle. What would be the best way to automatically append the city to the account name when saving or editing a record? Is there a workflow automation that would make this simple? Or is scripting the best option? Thanks JV
Custom Function to pull info from Deal to Contacts

Each deal relates to a single retail chain (walmart, target, etc). A contact may have multiple deals associated with them.

Pick List (or Drop-down) field is a field type in Zoho CRM that allows you to set a list of options for the CRM users to choose from, when submitting data.
