Count the NUMBER of Contacts for an Account automatically

Count the NUMBER of Contacts for an Account automatically

Hello. Is there any way Zoho can count the number of CONTACTS for a particular ACCOUNT and have a field in the ACCOUNT module update itself automatically?

Currently we use Zoho to administer our language school and the Contacts represent students and Accounts represent Grupos (Classes).

It would be very useful for us to have a feature like this enabled, and I can see other similar applications requiring something like this.

The solution would be even better if the Contacts met a specified criteria, for instance if the student (contact) is ACTIVE then count it, otherwise do not.

Hopefully other will like or want this idea and be put in the roadmap, but I would like to know if there is a workaround presently.

Thanks for your reply.
