There is no change to existing functionality or underlying data behavior. This update is limited to the display names of these field type values.

What action do you need to take?

The current field values will be updated automatically. However, if you use exact field values ("Section 194 IA" or "Section 194 IB" or "Section 194 IC" or any value under current value column from above table) in query tables, filters, or formulas, you will need to update them manually on or after October 20, 2026.

To check formulas: Go to Zoho Analytics > Data (left navigation) > Unified Metrics. Search for the relevant metrics using the field name to identify any formulas referencing these values.



To check filters in reports, dashboards, and query tables: Open the Accounts table containing the Account Type field. Click the More options icon next to the table name and select Dependency Details. This gives you a consolidated list of all dependent reports, dashboards, and query tables - review the filters in each.


This will help you prepare in advance for the changes going live on October 20,2026.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to write to us at support@zohoanalytics.com and we will be happy to help.
