Search and Filter

The Search and Filter feature in Zhylar helps users quickly find the exact information they need. It eliminates the need to scroll through endless records. With global search, you can look up leads, deals, customers, or items in seconds. Filters allow you to narrow results by conditions like deal stage, lead source, industry, date, or owner.

This saves time, reduces errors, and ensures sales teams always focus on the most relevant records. For example, a manager can filter leads generated “this month” or leads by “owner.” Adding more than one filter helps you quickly narrow down to the exact records you need without wasting time.

  • Find hot leads – A sales rep filters leads marked “High Priority” created in the last 7 days.
  • Check pending invoices – The finance team searches for invoices that are still pending or overdue.
  • See campaign results – A marketing manager filters leads from an email campaign to check how many converted.

Roles and Data Sharing

Roles and Hierarchies

In a CRM system like Zhylar, roles determine user data access levels. They assign permissions to each user within the organization. Roles ensure data privacy and control by allowing only authorized team members to view, edit, or manage specific records. With hierarchy-based roles, managers can oversee their team’s activities. Individual users focus only on the data relevant to their responsibilities. This setup maintains data security while allowing appropriate visibility based on roles and responsibilities.- Roles (what is your role in your org/designation)

Zhylar implements top-down hierarchical role structure. A role in Zhylar decides two important things:

  • Position in company hierarchy – It shows who reports to whom (like CEO → Manager → Sales Rep)
  • Data access control – It defines what each user can see or edit on the Zhylar platform.
  • Log in to Zhylar
  • Go to Left-hand navigation panel
  • Click on Configuration
  • Under General Settings tab, select Roles & Data Sharing
  • When you click on Roles and Data Sharing, you will be taken to a new page.
  • Here, you can see all the roles added to the system. The hierarchy of roles is illustrated like a flow chart.
  • Click ⋮ 3 dots
  • Select View
  • Check details.
  • Click X on the top-right of the box to close.
  • To add a new role, click + New Role
  • Alternately, click on the 3 dots of the Role name under whom you want to add a new Role.
  • Select +Add
  • A side sheet will open.
  • Fill out the details.
  • Click Save.
  • The new role will be added.

Data Access:

Data Sharing for Peers: This determines if 2 or more persons are in the same role. They will be able to access each other’s data or not. For example, an organization may have 2 Sales Managers, they are considered peers. So, enabling or disabling this permission will determine if they can gain access (Read/Write/Update/Delete) to each other’s data or not.

  • Click ⋮ 3 dots
  • Select Update
  • Make changes.
  • Click Save.
  • Click ⋮ 3 dots
  • Select Delete
  • You will be required to transfer all associated users under this role to another role.
  • Once you have done the needful, click Save.
  • The role will be deleted successfully.

Note: Hierarchy + Roles = Secure yet collaborative access control.

User Management

User Management

User management is a system that controls access to software or platforms. It assigns role-based privileges such as Admin or Sales Rep. It ensures that users have appropriate permissions based on their roles. This approach enhances data security. It prevents unauthorized access. It also supports regulatory compliance by maintaining control over who can view or modify specific information within the system.

  • Organization Admin has the full system control (configurations/user access). Organization Admin is the CEO.
  • User Status– Tracks invitation (Pending → Active)
  • Password Reset– credential updates
  • Log in to Zhylar
  • Go to Left-hand navigation panel
  • Click on Configuration
  • Under General Settings tab, select User Management.
  • Click +New User”
  • Fill details
  • Save User”
    • To define Profile, add a new Profile from “Profile” module first, if required.
    •  When a new user is added, the status will automatically be updated as “Invited”. 
    • Once the user accepts, the status will change to active.  
  • Click ⋮ 3 dots
  • Select Update
  • Click Save.
  • Click ⋮ 3 dots
  • Select Change Password
  • “Set Password”

Note: Password can only be changed by the user or system administrator.

This is only applicable for a User who has not yet accepted the invite email. The status will reflect Invited.

  • Click ⋮ 3 dots
  • Select “Resend Invitation” to invite user again (password reset email)
  • Organization Admin is the CEO.
  • Only users with specific permissions Can Create, Add, Update, Delete or Resend the Invitation to any user. 
  • One email ID can be used to register one user only.
  • Permissions required for user modifications
  • Admins customize workflows/access per role.

Document Series

What is a document series?

A Document Series is a structured numbering system applied to documents like invoices, quotes, and sales orders (e.g., INV-2025-001) to ensure consistency, efficient tracking, and easy communication.

Benefits of document series in CRM

  • Automatic sequential numbering
  • Professional document presentation
  • Easy organization and retrieval
  • Audit trails for all transactions
  • Ease of Continuity in case of Data Migration

Getting Started

Viewing Existing Series

  • Log in to Zhylar
  • Go to Left-hand navigation panel
  • Go to Configuration
  • Under Customization, click on Document Series

Lists the document series for following modules:

  • Quote
  • Sales Order
  • Invoice
  • Transaction

Document Series Format

Basic Structure

  • Prefix: Constant identifier (e.g., “INV”, “QT”)
  • Suffix: Auto-incremented number (e.g., “00001”)
  • Final Format: [Prefix]-[Suffix]
    Example: INV-0001
  • Automatic ascending order:
    • Example of successive sales orders: `INV-0001` → `INV-0002 → INV-0003
    • No duplicate numbers allowed
    • Suffix cannot carry any alphabets.

 How this works:

  • System applies prefix automatically
  • Number increments with each successive document

Update Series

  • Click on any series to edit format by clicking on the yellow pencil:
  • Make changes.
  • Click Save.

> Note: Changes only affect new documents – existing records maintain original numberings

Important Notes on Editing

  • Suffix Updates:
    • If changing current suffix (e.g., 0002 → 0012):
    • All future documents use new sequence (0013, 0014 etc.)
    • The numbers that have been skipped cannot be used in the future (0003-0011 in this example)
    • System will show an error if attempting to use skipped number
  • Prefix Updates:
    • Affects only new documents
    • Existing documents keep original prefix

How this works

  • Prefix auto-applies to new documents.
  • Suffix auto-increments.
  • Skipped numbers cannot be recovered – plan edits carefully.
