Custom Fields in Zoho Sprints

Custom Fields in Zoho Sprints

Different types of businesses require the collection of distinct types of data. It is essential to have fields that capture additional information and support its nature. The Custom Layout and Field option in Zoho Sprints allow you to customize the layout of the form used to collect data and record additional information.
