Rich-text fields in Zoho CRM

Rich-text fields in Zoho CRM

Hello everyone,
 
We're thrilled to announce an important enhancement that will significantly enhance the readability and formatting capabilities of your information: rich text options for multi-line fields. With this update, you can now enjoy a more versatile and visually appealing text editing experience.

Before we head into the details, here's a quick look at the changes.

 
Why rich text?
 
Previously, multi-line fields only supported plain text, which offers limited formatting options when it comes to font styles, colors, highlights, and other visual elements.
 
Using rich text, you can enhance the visual appeal of your information with a variety of font styles, colors, and highlights, enabling you to communicate important information more effectively. You can improve the readability of your text using bullet points and numbered lists or emphasize crucial details through bold, italics, or underlining. Organize your data with indents and easily indicate changes or updates using the strikethrough feature. 



Details and features:
 
Below are the key details and features of this enhancement:
  • Rich text format (RTF): Multi-line fields now support RTF, providing enhanced formatting capabilities and improved readability.
  • Expanded character options: Previously, you had to select between a 2,000-character or 32,000-character limit for multi-line fields. We've now simplified this by introducing a radio button with three options: plain text small, plain text large, and rich text.


  • Comprehensive text editor: To edit rich text multi-line fields, use our text editor, which offers a range of essential and additional editing options.

  • The formatting options supported for RTF support are as follows:
    Bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, text color, background color, bulleted lists, numbered lists, URLs, indent options, subscript, superscript, emojis, and clear formatting 
  • Expanded text box: Filling up records is even easier, as the text box can now be expanded into a pop-up. This enhanced interface allows for a more focused writing experience.

Info
Notes:
  • This feature will be available for users with Enterprise and Ultimate editions.
  • RTF is not supported in the Zoho CRM mobile app. 
That's all for this enhancement. Please share your feedback and suggestions in the comments below.


Thanks!
Nizamuddin 

P.S. This feature is being rolled out in a phased manner. It's currently available to users with the Enterprise edition or higher in AU, JP, and CA DCs, and to users with the Enterprise edition in CN and the EU DCs.

    • We would like to make a separate, internal-only knowledge base. Is it possible to have a public department but not display it in the help center?

      It seems like it is not possible to display/hide the knowledge base from the help center per department.  Is there a way to do this? It looks like all department knowledge bases are displayed if they are public, and there is no way to hide one from the help center while keeping it accessible via a permalink URL. For example, lets say I have one KB for Clients and one for Employees.    I want to keep my Clients KB public, and also want the Employees KB to be public, but NOT displayed in the help center.
