Data Administration

Data Administration in Zoho People is the set of tools administrators use to manage, protect and move organisational data. It suits Zoho People administrators responsible for data integrity, backups and account configuration.

What Data Administration covers

From Operations > Data Administration, administrators can translate system terminology for different regions, take manual or scheduled backups, copy customisations between accounts, test changes safely in a sandbox, and restore accidentally deleted records.

What this section covers

• Localisation: translating form names, fields and services for different languages or regions.
• Data Backup: manual and scheduled exports of organisational data.
• Copy Customisation: replicating forms and settings from one Zoho People account to another.
• Sandbox: a safe environment to test configuration changes before they go live.
• Recycle Bin: recovering records deleted within the last 30 days.
