Search result suggestions: total number of results per category
When I do a search on Zoho it returns the results grouped by category, and limited to 10 per screen. Overall this is pretty nice UI, but one thing that is really missing is knowing what the total number of results in each category is. You can see the first 1-10, and you can click through to see the next 10, and the next...but it would be really helpful to see how many that is going to be without having to click through the entire list. I believe somewhere else in the UI there is a similar function,

Wrapper for getRelatedRecords CRM API call? Is it in the roadmap? Includes a source code example.
Hi, I am using the getRelatedRecords API call to get Notes related to a Potential (I provide a deluge PostURL call sample below for anyone who is interested)...but it would obviously be so much handier if there was a wrapper API call - that way I wouldn't have to get hold of an API Key and ticket each time. So, I wonder could someone confirm that there is no wrapper for getRelatedRecords, and that being so... is it in the Roadmap for the future? Here is the sample code snipppet as promised above...

Zoho CRM - Adding products to quotes
Hi, I'm a newbie for the Zoho CRM platform, and I have some questions regarding user interface. - Quotes generated by my sales reps often have 50+ items listed. Adding products to a quote manually is too time consuming. Is there any option for bulk product add ? Is there any workaround to make the value field of an opportunity to be the sum of active quotes in that opportunity ? Example. If I used a custom formula field for that and reconfigured reports. would it work ? best regards Bernardo

User Reviews
Good Afternoon all, We are looking at moving to Zoho CRM and wanted some feedback from people that use it on a daily basis. We currently use MS Exchange and were considering using the MS Outlook plugin. Our other option is to move our mail to Google Apps and use the sync features offered. We want feedback from real users and are interested in your experiences using this solution. Does anyone have suggestions between staying with Exchange or moving to Google? Thank you all for taking the time to respond.

Expected revenue shows 0.0 after set to closed won
We have multiple projects which are set as closed/won. Some of them show an expected revenue correctly. The others seem to show 0.0. If I look down at stage history, closed won shows the correct expected revenue. Why would the stage history reflect closed/won with correct expected revenue, but at the top of the opportunity, it shows 0.0?

Custom Field - drop down list
I would like to have a custom field that gives the user a drop down list of choices, but that the user can also readily add to the choices.

Is there any way to do this? Thanks!
