Note: When you import data from multiple Zoho Finance organizations using the Import Multiple Organizations Data option, you will have an additional "Organization" module along with the above-mentioned modules.

5. What is the role of a base organization in a multiple Zoho Finance organization setup?

The base organization serves as the reference organization while importing data from multiple organizations. 

The following are a few points to be considered while specifying your base organization:

  • Modules and fields will be unified across all organizations based on your base organization. Say your base organization has 3 modules with 5 fields, only those 3 modules and 5 fields that map to your base organization will be imported from other organizations.
  • Data formats such as time zones and date formats of date columns will be unified across all organizations based on your base organization. Say, your base organization follows dd/mm/yyyy date format, the date format in all the other organizations will also be converted to dd/mm/yyyy format.
  • Reporting tags will not be imported from both base and other organizations.
  • Custom fields across all organizations being imported should exactly match the name and data type of the base organization.
Note: You can only consolidate organizations having the same currency type as the base organization.

6. While importing data from multiple Zoho Finance organizations, how to find the corresponding Zoho Finance organization of the data in Zoho Analytics?

The Organization ID column available in the imported tables will help identify the organization from which the data is being imported. The Organization table will contain the Organization Names associated with the Organization ID.

7. I got this email which said 'Setup Process Failed'/'Synchronization Process Failed'. What should I do?

The import/sync process of your organization data from the Zoho Finance app can fail sometimes, due to a variety of reasons. Hence you may receive such mails occasionally. The Zoho Analytics team will look into it immediately and get back to you, after taking the required corrective action.

Case 1: You will receive the Setup Process Failed mail when there is a failure during the initial fetch. In this case we request you to:

  1. Open the corresponding Zoho Finance Advanced Analytics Workspace.
  2. Click Data Sources on the left panel. All the data sources of the workspace will be listed.
  3. Open the corresponding organization and click the Retry Now link.

If the issue persists please do write to support@zohoanalytics.com. We will look into it and get back to you immediately.

Case 2: You will receive the Synchronization Failed mail if there is any failure during the data synchronization process between Zoho Finance and Zoho Analytics, after the initial setup & import of data. This might be a momentary failure due to any internal issues. This import schedule will get suspended if there are five successive failures.

8. Can I import custom fields from Zoho Finance?

Yes, you can import custom fields from Zoho Finance. You can add the custom fields by selecting the fields either while setting up the connector or by using the Edit Setup option.

Note: When importing from multiple Zoho Finance organizations, the custom fields chosen from the Base Organization can be imported. If you have the same fields in your other organizations with the same field names and data types exactly matching your base organization, then data from the custom fields of other organizations will also be imported. You cannot import any other custom fields from other organizations.

9. Can I import custom modules, reporting tags, and data using different base currencies while importing from multiple Zoho Finance organizations?

This option is not directly supported while importing data using the Import Multiple Organizations Data option. However, you can individually configure different organizations one-by-one, using the Import Single Organization Data option, into the same workspace.

In this case, the table names of the same modules from different organizations will be as given below. Say, you are importing Accounts modules from multiple Zoho Finance organizations, then your table names will be,

  • First organization - Accounts
  • Second organization - Accounts Zoho Finance
  • From third organization onwards - Accounts (Organization Name)

After importing the required data, join the related tables using a look-up column relationship or query. You can then create reports and dashboards over this data. Read more about setting up Zoho Finance organizations.

You can create consolidated reports from all your Zoho Finance organizations in Zoho Analytics using the Import Multiple Organization Data option. This option allows you to import data from multiple Zoho Finance organizations into a single workspace and combine the data together in the same data tables. This enables you to get consolidated insights from your financial metrics (balance report, P&L report, etc.,) or your non-financial metrics (sales across organization) across multiple organizations.

Say, a company offering dealerships across the country can analyze the financial and non-financial metrics of all their dealers together in one place using this feature.

Method 2: Organizations with different base currency

You can individually configure the required Zoho Finance organizations, using the Import Single Organization Data option, in the same workspace.

You can also import data from multiple Zoho Finance organizations into multiple Zoho Analytics workspaces. You can then add the data from these workspaces into a single workspace using the Import from Zoho Analytics Workspace option. This option will be useful when you want to analyze the data from multiple Zoho Finance organizations separately and combine only a few tables.

Once you have all the required data in a single workspace, you can combine them by creating a look-up column relation or query tables.

9. How do I create my own custom formulas in Zoho Analytics?

You can also add your own formulas to derive your own calculations in Zoho Analytics. To know how to create your own formulas refer to the Adding Formulas in Zoho Analytics help page.

10. Can I join data from multiple tables to create reports?

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

11. What are Query Tables?

Zoho Analytics allows you to drive the data required by writing standard SQL SELECT Queries. This feature is called Query Tables. With Query Tables, you can also combine data from different tables and create reports from the same. View the create Query Tables in Zoho Analytics video to know more.

Users, Sharing & Collaboration

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

You can easily share the default reports provided in the Zoho Analytics connector and also the reports you create using the share option. Refer to Sharing and Collaboration video to learn more.

Once you privately share a report to your colleagues they will be able to access the same from the Zoho Analytics service. 

Note:

  • If you share the data tables in the Zoho Finance Advanced Analytics Workspace to users, they will be able to create their own reports over the same.
  • If you add a user as a Workspace Administrator in the Zoho Finance Advanced Analytics Workspace created in Zoho Analytics (Refer Managing Users in Zoho Analytics, to know how to add Workspace Administrator), the user will be able access all the data & reports, create new reports and do any operation that you could do on the Workspace.

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

When a Zoho Finance Administrator configures the Zoho Finance - Zoho Analytics connector, the tables and reports will be available only to him/her, by default. The Administrator has to share the 'Zoho Finance Advanced Analytics' workspace with other members of the organization. Only then will the default reports be accessible by those members. Let's say the Administrator has shared the Workspace with other members in the organization. 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?

The Zoho Finance Administrator who has setup the connector should share the tables present in Zoho Finance Advanced Analytics workspace with other members of the organization. Once this is done, the shared users can create reports based on those tables.

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

Note: If you add a user as a Workspace Administrator in the Zoho Finance Advanced Analytics Workspace created in Zoho Analytics (Refer Managing Users in Zoho Analytics, to know how to add Workspace Administrators), the user will be able access all the data & reports, create new reports and do any operation that you could do on the Workspace

4. What are the user roles available in Zoho Analytics?

Zoho Analytics offers three user roles - Account Administrator, Workspace Administrator, and User. Click to know more about the Zoho Analytics Organization Model and User Roles.​

5. Why can't other users edit the reports that I have shared to them?

This is the expected behavior. If the user being shared to is a Workspace Administrator, he/she can edit the reports. If a normal user wants to edit a 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.

6. Can I share the same report created to multiple users with different criteria associated, so that they see different data?

Yes, you can. Refer to Apply filter criteria help documentation to know how this can be done.

7. Can I export a report/dashboard?

Yes, you can export the report/dashboard in various file formats such as CSV, EXCEL, PDF, HTML and Image. Click to know more.

8. How can I print the reports & dashboards created in Zoho Analytics?

In order to print the report/dashboard, you first need to export it. You can export the report in various file formats such as CSV, EXCEL, PDF, HTML and Image. Click to know more.

Note: If you are a user to whom a report has been shared and you want to take a print, ensure you have been provided the Export permission by the Administrator to the report, only then you will be able to print the report.

9. How can I email reports & dashboards created in Zoho Analytics in a scheduled manner?

If you are the Administrator of the Zoho Analytics connector or a Workspace Administrator, you can schedule reports and dashboards to be emailed automatically. Refer to the email schedule help documentation.

10. How do I embed my reports in my intranet, blog, or presentation?

You can easily embed the reports & dashboards created in Zoho Analytics in your website, web application, or blog. Refer Embedding in Web Pages/Blogs to know more about this.

Cross-Functional Analytics with Zoho Applications

1. What are the Zoho applications that I can combine with Zoho Finance for cross-functional analytics?

Zoho users can integrate Zoho Finance with other useful Zoho applications such as Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, Zoho Creator, Zoho Projects, Zoho BugTracker, and Zoho Recruit. If you are a ManageEngine user then you can perform cross-functional analytics on the data from ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus and ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus. This means users who are using Zoho Finance with other products can import all the data into a single workspace and perform cross-functional analytics.

Click to learn more about each of these integrations in detail.

2. How can I analyze the data from other Zoho apps along with Zoho Finance?

You can customize the lookups between the Zoho CRM and Zoho Finance organization data tables if required.
  6. To customize the lookups, click the Customize link next to the Data Blending: Zoho CRM is automatically connected with Zoho Finance checkbox.
  7. The Blend Data - Customize Lookups page will list all the possible lookup relations available. You can add a lookup relation by selecting the corresponding checkbox.

    Note: When you select a lookup relation, the modules and fields respective to the lookup will also get added automatically.
  8. Click Create to set up the connector. 

Once the setup is completed, the Zoho Finance data will be imported into your Zoho CRM Advanced Analytics workspace. A set of reports and dashboards will be created automatically in Zoho Analytics by default. You can also manually create reports combining the modules of both Zoho CRM and Zoho Finance as desired.

Note:

  • You need setup the Zoho Finance connector in the same workspace where Zoho CRM connector is setup. If you have already setup the Zoho Finance connector in a separate workspace, you need to delete it.
  • The relational look ups is created between Zoho CRM modules and the modules that are common in all the Zoho Finance apps.

5. Can I integrate multiple Zoho Finance organizations with Zoho CRM in Zoho Analytics?

Data blending is yet to be supported for multiple organizations' data.

As of now, you can blend data from only one Zoho Finance organization with Zoho CRM in Zoho Analytics. It is not possible to link multiple organizations from one data source to another data source in Zoho Analytics.
