Teamspaces are dedicated spaces in Zoho CRM that teams can work and collaborate in. A single CRM organization can have multiple teamspaces based on functions, locations, projects, and so on.

Examples of teamspaces based on business functions include sales, marketing, operations, legal, and so on.

Examples of industry-specific teamspaces could be:
  1. Construction and development (for real estate)
  2. Transportation, warehouse, and procurement (for logistics)
  3. Supply chain management, QA/QC, and Maintenance (for manufacturing)
  4. Risk management and underwriting (for finance organizations)
  5. Food and beverage, events and entertainment, and guest relations (for hospitality-related businesses)

Each teamspace has the members of a team along with the modules that are relevant for that team's work. It also has a teamspace admin who manages that teamspace by adding/removing CRM users and modules.

For example, a marketing teamspace could have:
  1. The marketing manager as teamspace admin
  2. Product marketers, content marketers, social media marketers, marketing analysts, interns, and so on as teamspace members.
  3. Leads, Campaigns, Social, Ads, Case Studies, Win/Loss Analysis, Competitor Analysis, etc. as modules

Create a teamspace

To create a teamspace:
  1. Click the teamspace switcher at the bottom of the secondary sidebar and click + New Teamspace.

  2. In the Create New Teamspace page, Click on the teamspace to set an icon by either a) uploading an icon or b) selecting one of the icon colors. If you opt for the latter, the icon will display the first two letters of the teamspace name on a background of the chosen color. Enter the name of the teamspace and give it a description.

  3. Click Add Modules. In the popup that appears, select the modules for your teamspace and click Add.

  4. In the same popup, click + Create Folder to create a folder. Add a folder name and click Create.

    Once created, you can select the folder when you add modules.
  5. You can also rearrange modules, move them to another folder, and remove them in this space.

  6. Once you've selected the modules, you can disable or enable the Reports tab and Analytics tab for the teamspace users. By default, they will be enabled.
  7. Select the teamspace admin. This person will be able to manage the teamspace going forward. This can be any CRM user.

  8. Manage access to the teamspace by either making it available for all users or for selected users.

    In case you've chosen the latter, you can add users, roles, profiles, and groups to the teamspace and click Save.

    Please note that the teamspace admin will not be added automatically when you choose selected users.
  9. Click Save.

You've successfully created a brand-new teamspace!
