Using forecasts with long payment cycles
Hi, We use Zoho at our organization and we are a IT services org (not a product co). Forecasts purely work on Closing date basis as of now. For eg, if I have a potential with 20k$ with a closing date of 15/May, then my Q2 forecast under May would show 20k$. I would rather want it to reflect over a sales duration. The potential worth 20k$ would close on 15/May. But my project only starts 1/Jun and run for two months. So my actual revenue realization would be 10k$ in June and 10k$ in July. Is there

A map on the prospects page that automatically populates the address field
A map on the prospects page that automatically populates the address field. When you click on the map, google earth comes up and the house where you are parked at will show and you hold your finger on it and it pins the house, then after clicking done the address field automatically populates. I saw this in another program called roof IS. It is nowhere near as good as Zoho but this would be a great feature and a time saver as well. Thank you. Tony Goff

Australian Privacy Act
Hey Zoho, It has been mentioned to me that where client data is held in cloud severs not in Australia, that there may be some issues with meeting Australian Privacy Act obligations - the big issue is the US Patriot Act and access to information for data held in the US. Can I ask; Does Zoho confirm to the Australian Privacy Principals and if not specifically, in which country is the data held (so I can determine if that countries data/privacy provisions are suitable). Thanks.

can you copy another users custom account?
My friend who is in the same business I am, and works the same type of leads as me has been using ZOHO for the past year. Is there a way to copy his setup and use it as my own with my personal account? It would be like copying his setup as a template and using it under my account. If possible, would I lose any data that I have already put in my system? I don't want his data, just his customization. Thank you for your time.
PIcklist changes not showing
I've changed the picklist values for the 'Industry' field in the 'Accounts' tab using the 'setup' screens. When I go into 'setup', I can see the picklist values I set up. However, when I set up a new account, in the 'Industry' picklist, I still get the standard values that were there by default, not the ones I entered. Why is that? What do I need to do?
How to use price books to add discounts automatically?
Hey, I am testing Zoho and I have created a product, which has a flat quantity discount. When I create a quote with a quantity that fits the discount range, the discount is NOT automatically added to the sub total. I am required to type in the discount. What are the price books for then? I want that if the quantity matches a range in the price book, Zoho automatically calculates the discounted price. How can I achieve this?

Mapping Fields from Contacts to Accounts
I would like to somehow map fields from contacts to accounts. For example, how ZOHO CRM automatically generates an account when imputing an account name into contacts. I would like this function to also serve other data from contacts, such as Account Website or Account Address. I have those fields in Contacts, but the information does not travel from contacts into their respective account. Example: Contact name - John Doe Account name - Company A Account address - 1 Fake Street Account website -

What is the best way to import email (gmail) using the free version and not upgrading to Google email sync? My first thought is to simply import as notes using the Migration Wizard. It appears that Migration Wizard omits email on the option pick list. Thank You, Sean
BUG: Time formula changes when users in different time edit the field.
For my quote name, I use the following equation. It automatically assigs a quote # that depends on the date and time that the quote was created. It works great! The only problem is that, let's say if a user in CST (GMT -6) created a quote on February 2nd, 2013 at 4:00 PM, then the quote name will be something like QXX-30202-1600. If a user in PST (GMT -8) opens the quote and then saves it, the quote name will change to QXX-30202-1400. If the CST user opens and saves it again then it will change back

Would it not be a better idea to link Outlook emails to opportunities rather than contacts?
Linking emails to contacts makes it harder to follow an email trail if there are several contacts for each opportunity who in turn are contacts for multiple opportunities. Is there a work around?

How can we change the permission levels on greyed out options like attachments & notes? There are times when some uploaded documents do not need to be seen by everyone. Thanks, Gina
How do you use Contacts differently from Leads?
We have been using Tasks/Potentials/Calls/Events for Contacts and am wondering how you use Leads differently. Any experience and practical differences would be most appreciated! Also, what do you do if a Potential isn't necessarily attached to a specific Company (it requires that you have something in that field)? Thanks for your advice.
Sharing information amongst contacts within an account
So according to the answer to my earlier question, it is not possible for Zoho to share information between a contact and an account apart from showing notes from just one field in an account. What suggestion do you have for cross-referencing information within accounts? I'd be interested to know how users manage accounts if they can't see what different contacts within that account are doing. For instance, I work with a travel agency who has 100 staff members. I want to know when looking at that
