Elevate Your CRM: Explore Zoho CRM's Canvas Updates for Ultimate Customization

Mobile View: Customization for On-the-Go Teams

Smartphones are no longer just tools of convenience—they’re essential business platforms. With the introduction of Canvas for Zoho CRM Mobile App, businesses can now extend their personalized CRM designs to iOS and Android devices. This feature allows you to create mobile-friendly views tailored for field sales representatives, delivery agents, or any on-the-go team.

Here’s the real innovation: Instead of struggling with cumbersome mobile design processes, you can use the desktop studio to build responsive views, preview them across devices, and deploy them instantly. While the current functionality is limited to detail pages, Zoho is already working on extending this to module pages, promising even more customization possibilities.

Module View: A Refreshed Builder for Enhanced Customization

Canvas originally launched in 2017 with support for module pages, but the new updates bring a much-needed overhaul. The outdated builder has been replaced with a modern editor, offering three distinct view styles to cater to diverse business needs:

• Custom List View: A horizontal stack that provides ample space for essential details, combining utility with clarity.
  
• Tile View: A visually striking layout resembling business cards, ideal for industries like real estate or manufacturing where images play a key role.
  
• Sheet View: A spreadsheet-like format perfect for managing structured data, such as inventory or invoices.
  

These new views are designed to not only enhance usability but also provide businesses with the tools to visually align their CRM with their operational goals.

Create Form: Redesigning Record Creation Pages

The latest updates introduce Canvas for Create Form, enabling businesses to customize record creation pages for different modules. This feature allows for robust styling, conditional field visibility, and Canvas rules to tailor the experience to specific business processes. The customized design extends to edit and clone pages, ensuring consistency across workflows. Additionally, these designs can be cloned or exported to other modules or CRM accounts, making it easier to scale and share templates.

Export/Import Templates: Seamless Sharing Across Accounts

Sharing expertise and designs has never been simpler. With the new Export/Import Templates feature, businesses can transfer Canvas templates across accounts or organizations using a unique key valid for seven days. This functionality streamlines collaboration and ensures that industry-grade templates can be shared effortlessly.

Introducing changes to a CRM system can be daunting, especially in complex implementations. This is where the Zoho CRM Sandbox comes into play.

This approach minimizes risks and ensures smoother transitions.
