The month that was at Zoho Workplace | October 2021

Dear community, 

Howdy!

Hope you are well and safe. At Zoho Workplace, we have added some new updates. Check them out and let us know what you think. 

Your emails organised better!

Zoho Mail groups all your emails with respect to dates. You can scroll referring the labelled day, month or year to find the email you are looking for. Be in an email from yesterday or last year, find it in a jiffy. 

Co-host your meetings now.

You can add your teammate to co-host the meetings you schedule. The co-host can start and conduct the meetings even in your absence. The meeting recordings can be managed under the Meeting tab and shared publicly. Learn more.

Catch-all and notify for group addresses!

When you configure the Catch-all and Notification address, previously you can only select a user email address. You can now set up a group email address too. And each time, an email is sent to a mismatched group name, the notification mails are sent to the group address. Learn more.

View storage information from Users listing!

Besides the organisation user's personal information, you can now view storage information like each user's storage plan, used-up storage and additional storage from the Users tab in the Admin Console. Know more.

If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback, drop them in the comments below.

          I am trying to take specific information from prospects/clients through Zoho Forms (contact info, square footage, surface area, etc.) and auto generate quotes based on the information submitted.  Ideally, the quote would be sent immediately after the form is submitted. I know Zoho has a few different ways to achieve this and wanted to know if there was a 'best practice' for automating the quotation function within CRM.

        • Share passwords/secrets and folders/chambers with external users

          Currently you allow sharing passwords with internal users, internal user groups, and third parties. The third party feature gives temporary access of 30 minutes and it does not have any sign up. What we really need is to properly share secrets/passwords (and ideally folders/chambers) with Zoho Vault users that are not part of our organisation - even if they are on the free plan. If they accept the share, the password would be stored in their Zoho Vault as long as I maintain the share. If I revoke

I can see the status of all of the tasks in that project, and who is working on what. However, if I go to: Home > My Tasks > Kanban, then the "Status" layout isn't an option - only
