This includes emailing, messaging, and intranet apps for communication; word processor, spreadsheet and presentation tools for content creation; and file storage, meeting, and training tools for collaboration. Here are some of the benefits the Zoho Workplace iOS app offers: - A central hub to launch Workplace apps: The Workplace app brings together the entire suite of nine apps in one place so that you can launch any of the apps in the Workplace bundle with a single tap. The Zoho apps included are Mail, Cliq, Connect, Writer, Sheet, Show, WorkDrive, Meeting, and ShowTime for all users, and the Mail Admin app for admins only. - Comprehensive and organized search: The search bar searches for a keyword across all Workplace apps, with results filtered by specific contacts and by individual apps. Find exactly what you are looking for with minimal effort, and further narrow down the results with fine filters. - Quick previews of search results: If a quick reference is all you need, the app offers previews of search results like Connect posts and WorkDrive files. You can also save your searches for future use. - Customizable Search settings: You can personalize search to work the way you prefer, like changing the order of apps, specifying the default app to search for, highlighting preferences, and more. Install the Zoho Workplace app and bring your entire online office right into your mobile device. Don't forget: we'd love to hear your feedback on the Workplace iOS app! "With Zoho Workplace, we now have all our applications interconnected in the same environment, thanks to this new way of working in the cloud.
