Split View for Zoho CRM : Break down Your Module Data for Smarter Selling

Split View for Zoho CRM : Break down Your Module Data for Smarter Selling

Hello Everyone,

We’re excited to unveil Split View, a powerful new way to explore and interact with your data in CRM For Everyone. In addition to the recent new module views --- Chart View, Timeline View & Grid View, we've added Split View as well to help accelerate your business growth to the NextGen UI of CRM For Everyone.

With Split View, you can now segment records in your module by splitting them into multiple tables based on key characteristics like picklist field, user, or criteria. Users can simultaneously view and manage data from different categories (arranged in tables) side-by-side. This layout enhances productivity by providing quick access to multiple data sets without the need to switch between screens or tabs.

What can you achieve with this view?  

  1. Multiple Views: Displays data in a module in multiple categories for easy information access.
  2. Interactive Views: Each panel in the split view is independently scrollable and interactive.
  3. You can manage your Split View by re-ordering, editing, and deleting split data.
  4. Choose the number of records to be displayed per split. This is a common setting for all splits and cannot be changed for individual splits.
  5. View split data as charts to get more insights about your business.
  6. Create New Records directly from a split view. However, record creation is only supported for picklist and user fields. Some cases where it is not possible to create new records from a split view are :
    ● Field is unused or has no permission
    ● If there are hidden fields (Eg. created by, modified by, unsubscribed mode...)
    ● If there are map dependency fields (child fields only)

How Split View Works in Real Business Scenarios   

Let’s take a look at how Split View can be a game-changer for a sales manager 'Timothy Jackson' of ZylkerInc for all his sales operations:

Scenario 1: Segmenting Accounts by Revenue

The Sales Manager, Timothy Jackson, wants to quickly assess which accounts are generating the highest revenue. Using Split View, they can divide the Accounts module based on Annual Revenue tiers.

➤ Accounts with less than 100,000 USD can be segmented as Low Revenue accounts
➤ Accounts with values between 100,000  and 600,000 USD can be segmented as Medium Revenue accounts
➤ Accounts greater than 600,000 USD can be segmented as High Revenue accounts
 
This segmentation lets the sales manager instantly plan appropriate steps: prioritizing follow-ups, tailoring sales strategies and effectively closing deals.

Scenario 2: Tracking Lead Sources at a Glance  

In the Leads module, Timothy uses Split View to group leads by their Source. For example, leads brought in from Webforms, Trade Shows, or through Referrals. This provides a crystal-clear view of which sources are converting the best, enabling more informed decisions on where to invest marketing and outreach efforts.

Scenario 3: Monitoring Industry Coverage by User

Using Split View in the Accounts module, the Sales Manager segments records by account owner to understand which sales reps are handling which industries. This makes it easy to identify coverage gaps, reassign workloads, and ensure every industry segment is getting the right level of attention.

Benefits  

  1. Streamlined Navigation: Reduces the need to toggle between modules or tabs without the need for custom views or filters.
  2. Informed- Decision making : Helps view the big picture to make informed decisions based on the data presented in front of you.
  3. Improved Productivity: Facilitates multitasking by providing a comprehensive overview in one interface.
  4. Customizable Experience: Tailors the layout to meet individual or team requirements to self-assess and focus on what matters most.
