Based on the country locale, you can mention the language for your account. Also, choose between 12 hr time format and 24 hr time format in the CRM account. The date format is automatically updated with the country locale that you select. The following international date formats are supported:



To change Locale Information and Number Format

  2. In the Personal Settings page, click Edit icon for the Locale Information section.

  4. In the Number Format section select the Grouping, and Decimal options.
  5. Click Save.

Change Name Format & Preferences

Under the Name Format & Preferences section, you can modify the name format and set sort order preferences.

Change Name Format

By default, the name format is set as <Salutation><First Name><Last Name>. However, you can change the name format as per naming conventions used in your country.

Example: In the USA the name format is generally <Salutation><First Name><Last Name> whereas in Japan the format is <Last Name> <First Name> <Salutation>

To change name format

  1. Go to Setup > General Personal Settings.
  2. Under Name Format & Preferences, select the required Name Format from the drop-down list.

    This format will be saved instantly and applicable in list views, lookup fields and user name.

Set Sort Order Preferences

Records are usually sorted in the [Module] list view based on the name format. However, if you prefer to have a sort pattern that is independant of the display name format, you can set this preference under sort order preference.

For example, your display name format is <First Name><Last Name>. But you wish to sort records in the Ascending or Descending order based on <Last Name> <First Name>. You can do this by setting the suitable sort order preference.

To set sort order preferences

  1. Go to Setup > General Personal Settings.
  2. Under Name Format & Preferences, select a suitable option from the Sort Order Preference drop-down list.

    You will be able to sort the records based on this format even if this is not the display name format.
     

Full Name field in the List View

While creating a custom list view for a module, you will find a field called Full Name under Available Columns. This is a combination of the First Name and Last Name. This can be pushed to Selected Columns. Once used in a list view, the Full Name field will be displayed as Lead Name and Contact Name in the Leads and Contacts modules respectively.


Note that the First Name, Last Name and Full Name are indivudual fields, based on which records in the list view can be sorted in the ascending or descending order.

 Change Password

Zoho provides Single Sign on service, and so if you change password for Zoho CRM, it will be changed for all Zoho Services. You can change password from Zoho Accounts. Please note that you cannot change password for other users.

To change password

  1. Click Settings icon and then click My Account.

  2. In the Zoho Accounts page, click Security.
  3. In the Password page, enter your Current Password and New Password in the corresponding fields.
  4. Click Save.
    The New Password gets updated and should be used to sign in to all Zoho Services.

Changing Themes

Zoho CRM Themes give individual users the option to customize the colors in their CRM account. Using the Themes feature, you can change the background color of tabs.

Please note that this customization is User specific, i.e. a theme changed by one user will not be reflected in another user's CRM accounts.

To change theme

  1. Go to Setup General > Personal Settings.
  2. In Personal Settings page, you can choose any theme from the available list as per your requirements.
