- Tap Modules under Module-specific Settings.
- Select the required module.
- Alternatively, the module settings can be accessed from the respective module page by tapping on the Settings icon.
The module settings page comprises the following sections:

List View Display Settings
The order of records in a module showcased in its List View is determined by the sort option available in the list view, and the information displayed is based on the fields configured in the Display Fields sections within the settings page.
Sorting records
When you're viewing a bunch of records, they're arranged based on the fields you've chosen. For instance, if you want them sorted according to the Accounts associated, then all you need to do is pick the Account Name field and set the sort as Ascending (Asc) and you'll get the result.
Display fields
The Display Fields settings determine which fields will be displayed for a record in the Module List View page. You can choose up to four fields to display for a record.
Custom Modules
The standard modules in CRM such as Leads, Contacts, and Accounts may not always meet your business requirements. In this case, you can custom create a module from scratch. The custom modules created using the web version of Zoho CRM can be accessed on Android devices, and records can be added.
