Setting up your CRM Application

The first step in building your vertical CRM is to configure certain basic settings and choose the application modules you'd like to include.

To create and setup a new application:

  1. Log in to your Zoho Developer account and click CRM for Verticals.
  2. In the Vertical CRM page, click Create App.
  3. In the New CRM for Verticals page, input the name of your application and your URL.
    Note: Your URL can be mapped to your custom domain later when you are branding your application.
  4. Click Select Category to choose an industry vertical.
    The category denotes the industry (Automobile, Insurance, Health care, etc.) for which your application is being developed.
  5. Select the preset modules that you'd like to include in your application by checking the boxes next to the available options.
    Note: By default, all modules are preselected. If you choose not to use any of the preset modules for your application, you can deselect all the modules, and create new modules when you customize your application.
  6. Provide a Short Description about your application.
  7. Click Create.
