Hence, it offers a much more thoughtful and contextual designing experience for the customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can think of Canvas as a unique tool by Zoho CRM, something that no other CRM vendor has ever considered creating. Zoho has actually pioneered the design autonomy movement allowing the customers to curate the user experience that they are looking for. With the use of Canvas, Zoho CRM has become the most customizable CRM in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Working of Canvas<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n


\nCanvas helps companies create a custom view that is readily available as an option along with the default views.

<\/span>1. Right Information in the Right Place<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Customers can look for all the related lists, fields, and buttons available on the left side of the menu in editor mode. This actually means that no information is lost and all associations will remain intact just the way they are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
