Each record in Zoho CRM can be associated with a range of other related records. For example, a Contact record will be linked with corresponding records in the Notes, Activities, Potentials, Products, and Attachments modules. This ensures that data is connected and easily accessible across the CRM interface. These linked collections of records are called related lists. Although Zoho CRM provides pre-defined related lists, you can also add a custom related list to a record type. Not only does this allow you to customize your Zoho CRM interface to meet particular industry needs, but it also helps collect and display data collected from other sources.
 
Create a custom function with Deluge Script
In addition to Zoho CRM's pre-defined related lists, you can also create new related list by writing your own custom functions using Deluge script. Deluge (Data Enriched Language for the Universal Grid Environment), is Zoho's proprietary online scripting language. It enables users to add logic to a CRM application, making it more powerful and robust. To simplify the development process, Deluge abstracts the entire database layer, you will have to only speak in terms of forms and fields, rather than more complex coding language. This expedites the coding process and allows even relatively inexperienced developers to create clean, intuitive custom functions. See also Deluge Scripts  and Functions.

To create a custom function
  1. Log in to Zoho Developer console and click Extensions for Zoho CRM.
  2. Select the extension you'd like to modify and click Edit.
  3. Click Customize option in the left pane and click Related List.
  4. From the drop-down list, select the module you'll be adding the related list to and click Create.
  5. In the Add Related List Custom Function page, fill in the following details:
  6. Enter the Function Name in the text box provided.
  7. In the Deluge Script Editor, code your own logic and click Save and Close.

Webtabs

Web tabs allow you users to open web pages and web applications inside their CRM interface. This is ideal for providing information such as company-wide announcements, a third-party web application the user may want to access, etc. These web tabs are visible to all the users within a CRM organization.

Note

  • Creating a webtab will add another tab to the user's Zoho CRM account, similar to any other module tab. Because of that, you can't create tabs with the same name of any of the existing modules (eg. Leads, Potentials, Reports, etc.).
  • The web tabs that you create will not be linked to the other modules in your CRM.
  • Some third party web pages cannot be added in the web tab. These websites restrict their content from loading inside another websites to avoid click-jacking attacks. They use the X-Frame-Options HTTP response header to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in an iframe.
