Need First Name in Potential for Emails.
Hi, It's really annoying that you can't use the first name in emails from potentials. At the moment we have to copy the first name in to a field to use it in an email but sometimes my sales people forget and the email goes out with a name on it......... To have something like....${PotentialsFirst Name} would be very beneficial and would mean no need for our work around.... Regards Chris
Create Multiple Fields
I am doing a conversion to ZoHo where the user has many custom fields in their current database. Can I "mass create" fields in the Contact module of CRM instead of one-by-one? Richard Brust http://www.rbrdatasolutions.com
Profiles... Grey out or hide unavailable options?
Not sure if this is a question or proposed idea? I am setting up new profiles, and one thing that would help is if the Unavailable options in settings was greyed out. This happened before we paid for the licences, unavailable items were greyed out. But if a new profile could not for example edit templates, if that was hidden from them or greyed out as the adninistrator I could see what the various profiles could and could not do? Just a thought Barry

CRM help Needed
I am using the CRM more and more these days, I started using Zoho as a stop gap while looking for a new ERP System. I have been attempting to integrate most of our business processes into ZOHO. Currently I am stuck at the issue of importing invoice history and figuring our solution to create a Return Authorization form with the information in a case. I can import invoice history into the stand alone Invoice program in ZOHO but that does not communicate with the CRM in any way. I am looking for some
Zoho Chat add-on for Zoho CRM
Hello. We are investigating features of the Zoho CRM and would like to propose an idea: would it be possible to create an add-on for CRM to link all the contacts in CRM and chat history within Zoho Chat? The same idea as you did for Zoho Mail and Zoho CRM. We bought both CRM and mail add-on for our users, like it and it would be very useful to be able to see the chat history of each contact via CRM (from each network: ICQ, MSN, Jabber, etc.) We would buy that add-on if you did that. I bet many
Look / Feel (Themes)
Hello, Is it possible to update the themes for the CRM system? They all look a little stale and do not match our companies theme/colors. I noticed that the ZoHo Project has a really clean and professional interface. Would it be possible to get something like that in CRM? Thanks!

Zoho CRM - Feature Enhancements
Hello! Yesterday, we made some minor yet important enhancements in Zoho CRM that gives you a better user experience with some of the features. Here is the list: View additional details of an event in the Calendar - Earlier, only the event name and time were available in the Calendar view. Now, you can also see the Related To, Contact Name, and Owner Name details when you hover the mouse on the event in the calendar. This helps you to get the necessary information in the calendar itself. View Modified

Logged calls not appearing in Potentials Records
Today while logging calls I noticed that the completed calls were not showing up in the Completed Tasks area of the Potentials records. In each case I initiated the call logging from the "log a call" link on the potential record. This is important for us to maintain a record of our communication with people concerning these potentials.
ZohoCRM Outlook plugin not seeing newly added contacts
Hi I have Outlook 2007 and use the Outlook plugin to integrate with Zoho CRM. I also use a Cardscan business card scanner to add new contacts into Outlook. After I scan cards into Cardscan and validate them (including adding the Zoho category), I then sync them with Outlook using the Cardscan software. So far, so good. When I then go to sync Outlook with Zoho, using the plugin, the newly added cards do not appear. As far as I can tell, they do not appear anywhere in the connector: not on the "excluded

Problem getting Zoho Mail and CRM to sync
I've looked through all the settings until I'm blue in the face. I've set up Zoho CRM. I've set up Zoho Mail. When I send out email out of Zoho Mail, it will not show up under the proper Lead/Contact etc. I'm also trying to do the Outlook Plug-in, and that's sporadic success at best. Is it a setting problem?

Feature Request: Next step workflow management
I really like the idea of the "Next Step" functionality in the potential module to keep track of the most immediate next step needed when trying to land a client/project, but as currently implemented it leaves a lot to be desired. Currently it is just a blank text entry field, so it has to be manually updated every time a task is changed and you lose all the history every time you do this. A much better approach would be to have this field be a look-up type field that would pull from the task list
Products association

2 meg email attachment limit??
I am using free crm with paid add mail feature. I notice I get a "you can not exceed 2 meg file size limit error." Is there a way to raise this to around 10 megs. Many of our PDF's we have to email are between 1 and 10 megs. Also I was storing the PDF's on Google Docs but the send mail feature when connecting to Google docs only shows my files and not my folders. It seems only zoho docs will show folders. Is this correct? Thank you in advance.
Features I'd like to see...
User customization: add color code/avatar support for user profile in CRM. iPhone app for CRM Calendar view to show color coded user events that span hours and days. (vertical colored bar on left of hour view), hover over it for details of event and creator. Thanks!

How do I DISABLE Duplicate Check in insertRecords
If a user fills out a form, say a Product Info request form (my form, not zoho's web-to-lead form [many reasons why I'm not using this option]) and I take that info an insert a lead in my account, it works great. If the SAME user fills out a DIFFERENT form, he will use his same email address, of course, and when I go and insert that Lead it will either throw an error (duplicateCheck=1) of Update the previous one (duplicateCheck=2), so I loose all the non-contact info of the first form!! Can I disable Duplicate
Concatenating data in Zoho CRM is impossible. Why?
We run a lead-generation site. We get leads when people download brochures from our site, giving their names and contact details. But the way Zoho handles fresh data makes it completely unsuitable for lead-gen. An example. Ana Smithe has used our brochure sign-up forms to request two brochures, one on Turkey and one on Hungary. Both sign-ups appear as separate records in Zoho CRM, i.e., Ana Smithe appears twice. If she signs up for a fresh brochure, she will appear as 3 records. And if we email
