User layout customization - Online Help - Zoho CRM

Customizing the User Layout

Zoho CRM allows you to customize the layout where you fill a user's details. Usually, while adding a user in Zoho CRM, you will be prompted to add basic information such as name, email address, role, profile, etc,. You can customize this default user layout to include details specific to your organization's users such as employee ID, department name, date of joining, team name and so on. Yon can also make the certain fields mandatory.
