As you may know, we
have APIs for many of Zoho’s services. And we have a good many services
implementing our APIs. This allows both Zoho’s and our API partner’s customers to be mutually benefited. A sample list of API Partners here.

Today,
we’re excited to announce the API for Zoho Projects. Developers
can extend the project management and collaboration capabilities through our APIs and can build their own customized applications for their business needs. We’ve tried to make the API follow the REST (Representational State Transfer) principles and generate a XML/ JSON object which
allows you to access / read / write Zoho Projects data from third-party
systems like Google/Yahoo gadgets, web
sites, billing & invoicing systems, other web-based products and do much more.

Have you ever felt that it would be nice if your Zoho Creator application could do with a different layout or color or font? Think no more. You can apply different layouts, colors, fonts and loads of other customizations to your Zoho Creator applications. No you don’t have to be an html or css expert to do that. As is the norm at Zoho Creator, all this is possible at the click of a mouse.

Zoho Creator offers 6 different layouts for your applications. You can choose from Pane Left, Pane Right, Tabs,Tabbed Pane Left, Tabbed Pane Right and Dropdown menus. You can segregate your forms/views into various sections and apply the required layout so that your application gets the right look.

Layouts

Did you say what about the feel? Of course of course. We took care of that too. Zoho Creator offers 3 built in themes which can be applied to an application. Themes define the colour scheme of the application viz the colors that will be applied to the header strip, the component header, the buttons on the forms, etc., the over all font that will be applied to the application, the different styles that will be applied to the headers/tabs/ component headers/ forms/ views etc and so on.…

Announcing Zoho Projects for Google Apps

Posted on by

Some
time ago, a Zoho Projects customer from Australia -who happens to use
Google Apps as his e-mail solution- wanted us to provide an integration
between Zoho Projects and Google Apps so that he could use both
seamlessly. His main concern was that his employees use Google Apps
everyday for email and intranet information, so he wanted to have the
Zoho Projects information easily accessible there.

After
checking with other customers, that seemed like a good scenario for us
to implement, but at the same time we were busy giving our users a
better way to organize their projects and making

project management
more social with Zoho Projects 2.0. But even the core Zoho Projects
team was busy, our IAM  (Identity Access Management) team who is
responsible for Single Sign On within Zoho & other federated logins
took this up – and provided our support for signing-in with a Google
Apps account.
