Understanding review processes
It's important to analyze and verify the information that enters your organization's database. In the long run, this helps maintain a clean database and saves a lot of time and effort.
For example, a firm receives hundreds of loan applications every day through both manual and online submissions. A few fields need to be checked before approving the applications. For examples, fields containing the info on the existing loans, collateral files, etc. You can configure review processes for both standard and custom modules in the Zoho CRM web application. Records can only be reviewed in the web application. Learn more here .
My Jobs module
The My Jobs module lists the approval processes which apply to the records. Users can view and perform process-related actions here
To view the My Jobs module
- Tap the
icon in your Zoho CRM app.
- Tap My Jobs, this will list all your records.
