Refer:

 12.Can I combine data from other sources with the data from Salesforce CRM to create reports and dashboards?

Yes, you can combine data from your other sources with your CRM data for analysis.
To do this, you need to add/import a new data table into the Salesforce CRM workspace and then define a look-up to join it with the synchronized table from Salesforce CRM.

  • Open the corresponding table, right click the column header and select Change to Lookup Column.
  • In the Change to Lookup Column dialog that opens, select the column to look up.
  • Click Ok

Please do note that you can create Lookup only to columns in the tables that are not from the same data source.

Zoho Analytics allows you to pull the data required by writing standard SQL SELET Queries. This feature is called Query Tables. With Query Tables, you can also combine data from different tables and create reports from the same.

Yes, you can join data from multiple tables to create the reports. Refer to Joining Tables in Zoho Analytics for detailed help on this.

 Users, Sharing & Collaboration

 1. How do I share the reports in Zoho Analytics with my colleagues?

You can share the default reports provided in the Zoho Analytics connector and also the reports you created, with your organization co-employees/colleagues. Refer to Sharing and Collaboration

Once you privately share a report to your colleagues, they will be able to access the same from Shared Workspaces tab.

Note:

1. If you share the data tables in the Salesforce workspace to users, they will be able to create their own reports over the same.

2. If you add a user as a Workspace Admin in the Salesforce workspace created in Zoho Analytics, the user will be able access all the data & reports, create new reports and do any operation that you could do on the workspace, except deleting the workspace & editing the Salesforce integration setup.

 2. Why are other members in my organization not able to access the reports created?

The tables and reports will be available only to the users who configures the Zoho Analytics connector, by default. The other members of the organization will be able to access it only when the 'Salesforce Reports' workspace shared. Let's say the Administrator has shared the workspace with other members in the organization. And a member creates his/her own reports. Those reports will be available only to him/her alone, unless he/she shares them with others.

To know more, refer to Sharing and Collaboration help page.

 3. How can other members in my organization create reports?

Other menbers in the organization can create reports when the user who setup the connector share the tables present in 'Salesforce Reports' workspace with them. Once this is done, the shared users can create reports based on those tables.

This is the expected behavior. If the user being shared to is a workspace admin, he/she can edit the reports. If a normal user wants to edit report, what he/she can do is to use Save As to save the report in a different name in his account. This report can then be edited.
