Modules in Zoho Workerly

Modules in Zoho Workerly let you categorize and keep track of your temp hiring. Modules in Zoho Workerly are represented in the form of tabs such as Temps, Contacts, To-Dos etc. 

Standard Modules

Zoho Workerly lets you work with more than 10 standard modules. These predefined modules come with a set of default fields and layout. You can edit most aspects of a standard module to suit your requirements. For example, if there is a field called Twitter in the Temps module and you think none of your temps use Twitter, you can remove this field from the Temps layout. Similarly, there are many other customization options provided to Standard modules. The customization options and their exceptions vary depending on the module you wish to modify.

Standard, predefined modules are available to all Zoho Workerly users, regardless of the edition they have subscribed to.
