Customers Intro

Customers Intro

A Customer in Zoho Projects is a client company. It includes organisation level details of the client and lists the client users and contacts associated to the company. Customer is different from client user as client user records user level details and can be added to a customer, whereas customer acts as a parent entity with client users mapped under it. Multiple client users and contacts can be added to a customer. Along with Client Users, Contacts can be added to Customers. Contacts are the users that are involved in the project directly but do not engage on a daily basis. Contacts do not have any access to project data. Zoho Project stores their details for easy access.
