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.

  2. Select the user you want to edit from the list of available CRM users and click the Edit icon.
  3. In the Edit User form, click the Manage fields link. Currently, you can only view the default fields available for adding the user's information.
  4. Now edit the existing user's layout in the Manage Field Users page. This consists of a form builder, where you can edit the layout. Drag and drop the neccesary fields and customize your form as per your requirements.
  5. Click Save Layout.
  6. Refresh the Edit User page and enter the required user details in the new layout and click Save.

To manage custom fields

  1. Go to Setup > General > Users and Control > Users.
  2. Choose the required CRM user and click Edit icon.
