You can customize the related list by adding multiple columns.

Related lists in a record are of varied types. For example, notes are descriptive in nature; emails tabulate all emails sent, received, and saved in drafts; and so on. Based on the type of related list, each of them has dedicated actions you can perform directly from the record.

Notes is a related list to store information about the record in a descriptive format. You can add, edit, and delete quick notes about the record. Click

You can also sort the notes based on the module and notes' recency.


Attachments can be any file, image, or link that you can directly upload or import from Zoho and other third-party storage drives. Click here to learn about managing attachments and storage in CRM.

Products are records associated from the Products module in CRM. The related list will display the products associated to the record so far. It also allows you to associate more products directly from the record.

Furthermore, you can manage the product information displayed by selecting the desired columns. 


Likewise, you can associate and manage records from other modules as a related list.

Open Activities are tasks, meetings, and calls that are currently open to address. Having them displayed in a record enables you to manage your activities efficiently. Like all the related lists, you can add or associate a new task, meeting, or a call to the record from the record itself.

Because activities help manage your productivity on the go, CRM provides you with options to choose from different views.
  1. Column view: This view will display tasks, calls, and meetings as categories. It will let you view them in one glance.

  2. Chronological view: As the name suggests, this view arranges your activities in chronological order, enabling you to prioritize your work effectively.

  3. Tab view: This view displays your calls, meetings, and tasks as different tabs and with in each tab, the entries are tabulated like list view. You can sort the order of the entries as ascending or descending, as desired.
Note:
  1. You can have up to five fields added to each activity.
Closed Activities: Every task, call, or meeting that had past the deadline or if they are marked completed, it will automatically be moved to the closed activities. 


Like the open activities, you can also organize views of closed activities per your needs.


Note:
  1. You do not have any actions to perform in the closed activities. However, if you'd like to log an activity, you can do so from the open activities.
 
Invited Meetings: All the meetings that are invited but with no response, will be listed here. It is a read-only list that will notify if the record is associated to a meeting that has been created in your organization.


Emails: The email related list will display all emails: sent, received, and bounced, saved drafts, and scheduled emails. It will display email subject, sentiment, emotions, intent, date, source, sent by, and delivery status as a table. It will enable you to know of all the email correspondence dealt with that record. You can also compose an email from the related list and sort the list of emails based on the email source. Click here to learn more about emails in Zoho CRM.


Social: If you have connected your brand with CRM, you can look up and associate social information about your lead/ contact/ account with the record. This will help know their interests, interact with them from the record, and look at their streams or activities.

  2. Click on a record from the list view.
  3. In the [Record] Details page scroll down to the required related list section.
