The setup page is divided into 7 major categories. This page also has a predictive search feature that can help you find various options that are a subcategory of the major categories displayed here.

To access the Setup page, log in to your Zoho Workerly account and go to Setup.

Predictive search

Predictive search makes your work in setting up your account easier by reducing the number of clicks you need to make in order to get to a particular Settings page. For instance, if you want to add or manage roles, the direct route is to go to the Setup page and click Users & Control > Security Control > Roles. But by using predictive search, you can directly navigate to the Rolespage by entering Roles in the Search box.

The following are the 7 major categories under which various setup options are available

General Settings

Start setting up your Zoho Workerly account by entering personal details and company details.

Personal Settings

User-specific settings can be configured under Personal Settings. Let's say different members of a team are in different locations. So the time zones for each user will vary according to the location. Similarly, signatures are specific to a user. Such settings can be configured under Personal Settings. These settings are specific to the user who has configured them.

• Locale Information: Mention your language, country locale, time format and time zone.
  
• Signature: Configure your own personal signature. This will be used in the emails that you send to your customers.
  
• Name Format: Define the name format in which people's names in your Workerly account is displayed. This applies to Temps, Contacts, Clients, or any other custom modules.
  
• Themes: Change the colour themes as desired for your Workerly account.
  

Company Details

The settings under Company Details are organization-wide settings and can be configured only by a user with Administrative permissions. They cannot be modified by non-Administrators.

• Company Details: Enter basic company details such as the logo, company email address, phone, website and Locale Information.
  
• Fiscal Year: Enter the beginning month of the organization's fiscal year. 
  

Email Settings

Manage your email database right from within Zoho Workerly. If you wish Workerly to maintain a record of emails sent to customers from an email address not configured in Workerly, you can use the BCC Dropbox feature.

• POP3: Configure your email address via the POP3 protocol. This downloads emails from the server to the machine in which the configuration has been done. Therefore this configuration is device specific.
  
• BCC Dropbox: If you require Zoho Workerly to track emails sent from an email account that has not been configured in Zoho Workerly, you can use BCC Dropbox. All you have to do is copy-paste the system generated email address in the BCC section when you compose your email from the desired email account to your Temps/Contacts. With this, Zoho Workerly will be able to fetch these emails and display them under the Emails related list in the respective record's details page.
  
• Email Insights: Get to know the complete analytics of all the emails that you send. The analytics report has details on how many people have clicked or opened your email, which regions have received your mail, and so on.

Users & Control

Create a more secure account by defining clear user permissions based on their hierarchy. You can group the users based on their roles or profiles and then provide permissions to these groups based on their position in the hierarchy. An Administrator can control these permissions. Users with Administrator profile will have unrestricted access to your account.

Users

The Users section enables you to add users, create user groups, activate or deactivate users. These actions can be performed only by an Administrator.

• Users: Add users by extending invitations to join your Workerly organization account. You can invite only those users who are not already part of another Zoho Workerly organization account.
  
• Groups: Form user groups based on the designation of members in your organization. When you form groups of a handful of individual, Workerly information shared with a user group will be shared with all the users in it.
  
• Activate Users: You can activate or deactivate users in this section.
  

Security Control

• Profiles: In Zoho Workerly, the profile function controls the permission to Workerly modules, records, fields in a record, and various utilities, such as import, export, send email, mass update, etc. Users associated with the profile can access the functions that are assigned to them.
  
• Roles: In Zoho Workerly, you can set up the organization-wide hierarchy using Roles. Users at a higher hierarchy can always access all the records of at a lower hierarchy.
  
• Data Sharing Settings: By default, access rights to Workerly records is set as private so that the record owner and his/her manager can oversee the Workerly data. However, using the Data Sharing Rules, you can extend the access rights to users belonging to other roles and groups. Once the data sharing rules are configured, users associated with other roles and groups can gain additional access to the records that belong to other users.
  
• Attachments Permissions: Control the access rights of Workerly attachments for various profiles.
  
• Zoho Mail Add-on Users: The Zoho Mail Add-on helps you to manage all the customer correspondence within your Zoho Workerly account. It helps you to keep track of all the email communication between the customers and the Workerly users. In addition to this, as an administrator, you have the following set of features to manage the Zoho Mail Add-on users.
  • Take a backup of the deactivated user's mail account
    
  • Lock Mail Add-on Configurations
