I can not tell the maximum number of accounts or contacts I can have here. I think I saw something about 999 being the max but I wasn't sure if that increased in the professional edition.

Hi how do I edit lists inputed on zoho most especially deleting unwanted leads?

amar_try, 113 - days ago  

Hi ebagares@offsourcing.com,

You will be able to delete the unwanted leads with the help of the status that you have in them. You may create a separate view for the unwanted leads with the criteria of the status you have. When you select the view, the unwanted leads will populate and you will be able to select them and delete in mass using the mass delete option.

Thanks,
Adam.

I have built my own set of slides (text screenshots) to train my team to operate Zoho. Instead of sending this to them outside of Zoho (via email or ftp for instance), I would like to host it within Zoho for instance, as a tab called {company documents}.
Is that possible?
Regards
Nitin

amar_try, 103 - days ago  

Hi Nitin Chowdhary (nitin@metromela.com),

The document management is currently not available with Zoho CRM and we have plans to implement it in our future updates. Currently you can use the Zoho Show (http://show.zoho.com) and share it with your users.

Thanks,
Adam.

Hi,

Thanks for the above response.

Is there a way to access a log of all activities within a domain. For instance, i have inside sales reps transferring leads post qualification to (outside) sales reps. I would like to look at a log for productivity metrics etc.

Regards

Nitin

amar_try, 103 - days ago  

Hi Nitin,

You can use the Reports to take the productivity metrics for each sales person. Click on Potential report and click on Customize button to choose the columns that you need and in the Criteria tab, mention the Owner to get the results based on that selected sales person.

Thanks,
Adam.
