Estimated reading: 2 minutes 239 views

Copy Customization lets an organisation replicate modules, services and form configurations from one Zoho People account (the base account) to another, which speeds up setting up new accounts.

How to use Copy Customization

  1. Send a request to the target account: from the base account, go to Operations > Data Administration > Copy Customization.
  1. Enter the target account’s email address and click Send Request.
  2. After the request is accepted, return to Copy Customization in the base account, select the modules and forms to replicate, enter the target email again and click Copy.

What gets copied

Copy Customization can replicate service settings such as holidays, timesheet and billing settings, and performance configuration including appraisal, goal, KRA, competency and skillset settings. It also copies mail merge templates and folders, along with automation such as groups, workflows, templates, tasks, checklists, mail alerts, field updates, custom functions and approvals.

What isn’t copied

Employee or user-specific data, and any user-level settings or account-specific content, are not copied. These must be configured manually in the new account to maintain data privacy and compliance.

If you don’t see the Copy Customization option in your account, contact Zoho support to request access.
