Custom Modules

To accommodate their business requirements, your customers may create their own modules to record information that is specific to their needs and not addressed by the default modules in Zoho Books. These modules are referred to as Custom Modules. If your customer chooses to display custom modules of their organisation in your portal, based on preferences configured, you can perform certain actions on the custom module’s records from your portal. In this help document, you’ll learn what these actions are and how you can perform them.
