Kanban Board Extension - Online Help - Zoho CRM

Kanban Board

When a business project becomes big or your team grows, there will be a lot of things for you to manage as a team lead or a manager. Kanban Board for Zoho CRM provides an organized way to keep track of all the required activities and data. It provides you the big picture so that your time and effort is not spent in tracking where each deal is in the pipeline or how many tasks are pending by your team.

Kanban Board lets you create multiple boards based on a module's list view or ownership of records. Based on any one of the pick list fields, it segregates the data into columns for an easy view. Kanban Board can be created not only for the standard modules but for custom modules also. Additionally, when you are using extensions such as that for Zendesk, SurveyMonkey, etc., you can create a board for the data from the third party software too.

Create a new Kanban Board
