Associating Cases to Accounts
Good Afternoon, Could you please instruct me how to associate "Cases" directly to the "Accounts" screen, rather than the "Contacts" screen? In summary, when I open an account, I need the contacts and cases associated with that account to display on that one screen. Thank you harrydavis
Newbie Question about customizing Zoho CRM
We are considering Zoho CRM but to work for my company the CRM system would need significant customization, adding a number of new tables, relating fields in the new tables keys in default tables and to keys in other new tables.

Annual Licence
Hello, our business requires an annual subscription for our software, and we need to be notified each year of an expiry date so we can send automatic emails, and also chase up.

Bookmarklet to add contact or Account to Zoho CRM?
Does anyone know of an extension or bookmarklet that, when clicked, would add a new contact or account to the database using data from the website you might be currently on? For example, you are on switchboard or manta and you come across a company you want to add to your database. Instead of switching back and forth between screens and manually typing in the contact info. You press the bookmarklet and a prepopulated window comes up that allows you to add more info, change what it grabbed, and then

Alerts suddenly stopped working
We have an alert set up (workflow rule) that notifies the Lead Owner via email whenever a new lead comes in. This alert has suddenly stopped working, but still shows as "active" on the list. I have looked through the settings and can't see that anything has changed, however, if I go to re-create the rule I can't now see how to identify the Lead Owner as being the recipient of the alert. I can see a list of users, but presumably if I select each of them they will ALL get notified, whereas I just

My company sells Years 2-5 support beyond Year 1 which is included in the purchase price. How can we track how many years each account has left of support when they call in to ask questions?

Mail merge with related records
Hi there, I've hit a road block with mail-merge. I need to grab data from a related record, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Is there any way to get around this?

Updating an Organization Field when Opportunity is "Closed Won"
When selecting "Closed Won" for a current Opportunity, I would like ZOHO to automatically update a custom field in the Organization section called "Client Status". We sell software so the goal is to automatically change the clients status based upon an opportunity closing. I can't seem to figure a way to do this. Any suggestions?
Associating Cases with Potentials

How can I include a second page with a sales quote template?
I need to create a page break somehow and have a separate "Terms and Condition" page become a part of my quote template. I have found posts on this board where people provided code to force a page break, but I can not get it to work. I have read where you can set up automatic page numbers, those would always be at the bottom of a page so there has to be a way to do this. I can't figure out how to get the terms and conditions page to be a part of the template. The info has to remain together.

How to best track lead conversions?
Hi, I hope someone can help. Currently, all potential leads (cold & warm) remain leads until they actually purchase something from us. Then when they've purchased, they are converted from Lead to Account and a Sales Order is created. We do not use Potentials...I don't understand how they work. I would like to be able to track how many leads we have and how many are converted to accounts in a period. Is my best bet to use Potentials and Campaigns, or use Status, and then use Pulse to track the Status

When I am sending an email from a contact's record, when I am in the compose email screen, if I add an attachment to the email, I cannot then click on the attachment to view it to see if it is in fact the correct attachment before sending.

Creating leaderboard for Zoho CRM
Hi, my client wants to be able to see the top ten salespeople in the firm. I can't find a way to create a report that sorts by a summed column in descending order. Has anyone been able to create a leaderboard style report in the past? I am not able to use Zoho Reports because the report is based on the Products module and Zoho Reports does not yet support this module. I have been trying to achieve this functionality via Zoho Creator but have been frustrated by the limited number of statements available

OPEN UP A TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN THE UK!!!
It is very difficult getting the help that you need with zoho CRM, when working in the UK. I phoned up for some help with zoho in the morning UK time, only to find that the phone line I am directed to is a US line, where it is 1:00 am, and there is hardly anyone around to help, and the person I spoke to sounding so quiet - possibly out of tiredness it was hard to understand, even if they did speak the same language as myself.

Alerts stopped working
It appears that sending alerts to the record owner is now only available in the Enterprise edition. I have been a Professional user for years and have used this feature. Now with no notice it is telling me I need to be an Enterprise user. I have seen no updates on any changes concerning this issue. The change apparently happened on 1/1/2013. Can anyone address this issue. It is causing my company delays since no one is getting email updates.
Duplicate contacts
When my callers are going through their contacts, they are finding that they are calling a number that has already been called before, yet there is no record in that contact that the call was already made.

CRM Report Scheduler, subject line
I was wondering if it was possible to modify the subject line of reports sent by the zoho CRM report scheduler.

Link to Dropbox
Thought I would share this work around to access documents in Dropbox using "Links" in ZCRM. In Dropbox I have a client folder for all my leads and contacts that I will drop documents into. They have a static address with the same URL that you can copy into the link "//www.dropbox.com/home/firstname/20lastname" This way in each lead or contact you can click your created link and go directly into the clients Dropbox folder. Now my problem is my limited size on my Dropbox folder. If this helps you
Notes disappearing in App on iPad & then online
Connected to internet on iPad, opened app, while viewing notes added to an account, notes disappeared right before my eyes. I never clicked on notes.

Syncing with CRM Contacts
We are wanting to create a view in contacts but obviously we lose the lead status field when we move to the contacts module. My initial thought was to create a view from 'potentials' based off of the 'stage' field in order to sort our contacts but when I create the view I notice that I no longer have access to the custom fields I have created "ecampaign status" and "edate". We used these fields for tracking purposes of when they went on the campaign and when they need to come off and which campaign

How to choose vendor in Quotes?
When I'm creating a new quote and hit the "add product" button, I get a list of ALL products for ALL vendors, and I cannot narrow it down to products related to one specific vendor.
