Zoho CRM layout rules can declutter record screens, with key limits
Zoho CRM record screens often feel crowded with fields that most users rarely need. Layout rules let administrators show fields or sections, or make fields mandatory, only when a primary field matches a specified condition. Zoho's documentation sets constraints: a rule can have at most five criteria, the primary field can appear in just one criterion, and certain field types such as Auto Number, Formula and Multi Line cannot be used. Rules do not apply to records created through import, web forms or lead conversion, and through the API only mandatory-field rules are supported. The author, who works for a Zoho partner and discloses that interest, also advises against using hidden fields as a data-cleaning method, since hidden fields can still hold values, and recommends testing changes in a sandbox first.
