The partnership starts with Zoho CRM integration and will span across most of Zoho applications. The next update of Zoho CRM will have the ability to schedule/start WebEx Meetings directly from Zoho CRM interface. Here is a quick screenshot.

Here is a press release on this.

Looking forward for a strong relationship.

Zoho Planner now supports Safari and Opera!

Posted on September 25, 2006 by Arvind

Zoho Planner had an update a few hours earlier that brought in some cool new features.

We receive constant feedback from Safari & Opera users to make Zoho applications work on these browsers. As the first Zoho app, Zoho Planner now works on Safari (2.0+) & Opera (9.0+). Zoho Planner already supports Firefox, Mozilla & Internet Explorer.

We have tested Zoho Planner on multiple versions of both the browsers. There may be untested versions, so do write to us if you come across any issues.

Users have been asking to collapse & expand todo lists & notes. This has been done in the latest update. Another feature to roll in is the facility to delete all your completed todo list items in one go.

Till now you can private share your pages with Read & Write (Edit) privilege or have them shared to public. Now you can private share your pages in Zoho Planner with Read Only (View) permission too.

Jake Ludington on the Zoho Office Suite

Posted on September 25, 2006 by Arvind

Zoho’s online office suite apps, Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet & Zoho Show got extensively reviewed by Jake Ludington’s MediaBlab. From the review :

Many companies have tried with limited success to take on Microsoft Office. … Recently a number of Web apps have been appointed the “MS Office killers” for various reasons. I think the demise of Microsoft’s cash cow is greatly over exaggerated , but the online versions succeed in usability where their downloadable counterparts have failed at providing a highly usable experience . My favorite of this category is Zoho Office Suite, which includes a spreadsheet, word processor and basic presentation maker.

If you need most of the features of Microsoft Word, but it isn’t on your computer or simply isn’t in your budget, you could download one of those bulky free Office Suites, like OpenOffice or Software 602, but there’s an easier solution.

Zoho Creator Demos

Posted on September 20, 2006 by Arvind

The Zoho Creator home page has been sporting two small TV icons for the last few days now.

Have you clicked on them? Try the second icon titled ‘Spreadsheet to Web Application‘. You will find a neat demo explaining how easy & at the same time how powerful Zoho Creator is. It will be great hearing your feedback. And, if you have similar demo requests (for Zoho Creator or for any Zoho service), do send in your suggestions to aravind(at)zoho.com.

ps: Did you try placing the accent of the voice behind the demo? Not an American one, right? The voice is of Dean Ernst the man from NZ/OZ!

Update : Zoho Writer & QuickRead

Posted on September 20, 2006 by Arvind

Noticed anything different in working with Zoho Writer since yesterday? We have done some html compression tweaks that makes working with Zoho Writer a little faster. Loading of files & switching between tabs should happen faster than before. An exception in this update is the initial loading time when you login. It remains the same as before & we will be working on making it faster too.

Another cool update to happen is with Zoho QuickRead. You can now save an online document (.doc, .sxw, .odt, .rtf) opened with Zoho QuickRead to your Zoho Writer account directly.

Open up an online document with QuickRead & the top panel looks as above. Click on the ‘Edit’ link. If you are already logged in to Zoho Writer, the next screen will look as below

You can click on the ‘Save to My Account’ link to save the opened document to your Zoho Writer account directly.

Zoho Creator : Modify picklist items dynamically

Posted on September 20, 2006 by suganya

There has been requests from users like Ted Hughes for automatically filtering picklists based on selection in the previous picklist. This can be done very easily now.

Let us take a Bug Tracker application as an example. This simple application has just three forms.

1. It has a form to fill in the modules. e.g. In the case of Zoho Creator, it could be user interface design, deluge script etc. See a list view of all the modules added.

2. It has a form to fill in the team member details. It has the name of the team member and the module he works for. See a list view of all the team members (and the respective modules).

3. It has a form for filing issues. Each of the issues filed has to be assigned to the appropriate team member. Since we have already defined the person in charge for each of the modules, it will make more sense if the items in the ‘Assigned to’ picklist gets updated every time the module is changed, listing only the relevant entries.

NetworkWorld reviews Zoho Creator

Posted on September 19, 2006 by Arvind

Mark Gibbs has a very good review of Zoho Creator in his NetworkWorld ‘Web Applications Newsletter‘. Some excerpts :

Zoho has released a whole range of services and one in particular has really impressed me: Zoho Creator a weblication that creates weblications.

Sign up (the service is free) and you are presented with a polished AJAX-driven interface that allows you to create an application from scratch or copy (and modify if you wish) an existing application.

All of the views and forms can be embedded in your own Web site using a script that is downloaded dynamically from the Zoho Creator site (either as a simple reference or enclosed in an i-frame) or referenced via a “permalink.”

You can add code written in the Deluge language to drive your application. Some examples of the value of Deluge suggested by Zoho are:

* Perform an action when a row is added successfully or detect when someone adds a row to a form.
