Related List Menu of a record
The Related List menu in Zoho CRM provides quick access to associated records such as emails, notes, deals, activities, and custom modules. This menu can be expanded or hidden, based on your viewing preferences. By default, this related list menu will be hidden. This is to allow you to view more record data without excessive scrolling. Simply hover over the Related List Menu icon to view a list of related records and take actions from the pop-up directly. However, if you have extensive use of the related list menu in a record, you can choose to expand it.
The sidebar is filled with options that let you:
- Navigate to different modules in your teamspace
- Switch to a different teamspace and manage teamspaces
Let's look at these different options one by one!
Module navigation
Teams work and store data within the CRM in modules. The sidebar displays the folders and modules within a teamspace, allowing users to collapse or expand folders and choose the necessary module. There are two types of modules in CRM: Organization modules and team modules.
Global search
This option lives at the top of your CRM screen. The Quick Create menu has also been merged with the '+' icon so all quick create actions can be carried out from one single place. From here, you can:
- Quickly find records, modules, or information across your CRM using global search.
- Create records directly from any module, create new team modules or create org modules.
Utility actions
The utility options in the bottom part of the sidebar are useful for various tasks like:
- Accessing your calendar
- Using Marketplace
