I have a role with deletion privileges on certain forms, yet I cannot delete massively ALL THE TIME. That is, sometimes I get the option, and sometimes I don't.

The 'Quick Learning Series' - Post 3 : Tip - Ensure business continuity. Keep your employees posted on urgent and important announcements.
When you run a business, you have to be equipped to encounter sudden emergencies. What is more important is to keep your staff posted on these important updates. Post important updates as 'Sticky Announcements' so that they stay on top always keeping your staff well updated. What's more interesting is that you can have location-specific sticky announcements so that your staff from other locations do not push the panic button! Take a look at this short video !

The option of being able to create Tabular Data within a form is great. However, when you create a form with Tabular Data, there should be way of importing and more importantly exporting that data from the form (into XL, CSV etc). At present, data could be entered as tabular but there is no way of exporting that information out. Thanks! Cloud-Workforce.com
Use Zoho People to Manage Volunteers?
I'm working with an organization that utilizes more than 750 volunteers a year. We are looking for a system to manage their hours and any donations they make. It seems that Zoho may be able to do that, but I'm not sure where to start - particularly in the area of recording volunteer hours. Ultimately, we would like volunteers to be able to access an account that shows them how many hours they've worked. We would also like to print "id cards" with a QR code or something that would allow people to

Comprehensive Pay Report
From what I understand, only web timer entries can be pushed to the Attendance Module, not manually entered time logs. This makes the Attendance module useless as my company tracks what people works on (projects & jobs) not just what hours you came in each day. And having people enter data in two places is a waste of their time. I would hope the functionality of time logs into the Attendance module will be implemented in the near future. That being said, is there a report that will show a combination

Add Job for different Owner than yourself
I am trying to enable users to create Jobs in the name of other users not just Asignees but actual Owners so that they will be able to change the status of the Job.

Semantics
I would like to propose a change to the incorrect descriptions of some of the features of Zoho People. There is a lot of confusion regarding the following terms: 1. Weightage - this would appear to be just the wrong word. It should be Weighting. 2. Domain - in the modern world this means the web domain. This should surely be Category. 3. Designation - Again this is the wrong word. It should be Position. It will be interesting if anyone at Zoho will grasp the nettle here and try to correct these
