It would be most helpful to be able to export a tenant configuration to a file, like meta-data or similar, and have the ability to import it into a tenant. There are 2 use cases for this: first, to back up and archive configurations to satisfy auditor requests to validate no unapproved configurations have changed. Second, in ensuring environment integrity in API Sandboxes or Services tenants to your source/production tenant.

The custom fields are currently displayed in the order in which the custom field was created. If I want to add a new custom field that is related to existing custom field, I would like to position it around the related custom field, but the new custom field is displayed at the bottom of the custom fields. I would like to control the display order of each custom field.

I typically have multiple tabs open to the UI. All the tabs have the same, not helpful, name. I really want these tabs to be named with the record that is displayed (a product, an account, an invoice, etc).

One issue I saw with leveraging the Zuora SPF record, it tossed my SPF over the RFC limit of 10 lookups (it alone is over 10)...many folks have either done subdomains for items like this or started to leverage DKIM...with such a large SPF, I would like to see a DKIM option to ensure email delivery if possible...

Allow a custom field lengths of 2k or 4k chars. Customers are finding they require custom fields that can hold more text. Un-indexed custom fields, or additional notes or description fields of 2 to 4k characters are being requested.

There are a couple of issues with the delete permissions, so this idea is a combination of a number of different ideas. - By default delete permission are enabled in the "Standard Profiles", they should not be - giving delete permission should be a more active task by an administrator. - Customising the default profiles is not possible, so you need to add a new profile to remove delete privledges. - In an active system you then need to identify the users to change to this profile, unfortunately there is no report. So its a matter of clicking on each user and changing (easy to make a mistake) - There is no way to remove the standard profile, so new users may get assigned to the wrong profile quite easily. (As this would be the detault option). Ultimately it is very difficult to robustly control and remove delete permissions - to address this a couple of things need to be done:- - make the default profile editable. - remove delete capabilities from the out of the box profile. Even with all of this, mistakes can happen, and ultimately there needs to be a capacility to un-delete mistakes (or even malicious actions) which could otherwise risk the survival of a business. There really needs to be an un-delete capability or a recycling bin (simiar to salesforce) that would allow object that have been deleted to be restored.

Feature Request: Ability to delete old invalid values from pick list in custom field Status: under evaluation Reference Number: DE7566 Business Need: Currently in Zuora, the design of pick list in custom field is that once it is saved, one can only edit the values in pick list and cannot delete the values. However, some customers have old and invalid values that need to be cleaned out, therefore, they are asking for the ability to delete old invalid values from those pick list custom fields so that their end customers will not choose the wrong value.

I think it would be a great idea to allow the ability to create/read/update users in Zuora via the REST apis. Is this something that is being prioritzed at this point?

I have credentials associated with Zuora: Community Connect Support Subscribed University This is kind of a pain; how about a unified auth system?

Feature Request: Ability to remove/delete Pending Active and Inative users Status: under evaluation Reference Number: PLAT-4082 Business Need: Some customers are looking for the ability to remove/delete users in "Pending Status" and "Inactive", because some people have not responded to their activation email or were setup with the wrong information. Those accounts that are in "Pending Status" / "Inactive" are causing some confusion.

It's a significant source of friction that I can't search for an object until I click on that object name in the sidebar, then the search window on the right. Please give us a unified search field, displayed on all UI pages in the same location, that searches all objects. So, for instance, if I enter "INV0000123" it gets me to an invoice, and if I enter "Foobar" it displays accounts and subscriptions named foobar*. Also, if there is only a single hit (as for instance, "INV000123" would produce), then take me directly to the record.

It would be great if there could be a search field on an aggregated level. So that when being on a customer account page, I can search for a new customer without going back to the Customer Accounts view. So a search field next to settings/ help/ log out menus to save a few clicks

We strongly want to have a capability that we can choose the custom field's visibility -- 'show' or 'hidden' on UI. All cusom fields are showed on the page related to the custom field's object. E.g. Account Custom Fields are showed on New Customer Account or Edit Customer Account page, and are editable. We have a lot of custom fields, and some of the custom fields will not need to be displayed on UI because those were created for the integration purpose to use only in Z-API.

It should be possible to rearrange page layouts in Zuora for the different objects. Similar to the page layout functionality you find in Salesforce. This way you can create/add custom fields and show those fields where you would like on the Objects.

There is already the ability to define whether a user can create accounts / contacts and add subscriptions, however by default this user can also cancel bill runs and cancel and delete draft invoices. It would be beneficial to lock down the access to Bill runs and other functionality. There are most likely other functions a user with basic Z-Billing permissions can access as well. Provide the ability for a user to upload usage files without accessing other key billing areas such as bill runs and invoices. Rationale for this: the ability to create a user that can create accounts / contacts and assign subscriptions, but does not have access to other critical billing area functions. The ability for the Ops team members to add usage files reported out of production systems without affecting

We use HTML format for our email notifications. On the Account page in the Notification History section, the email preview renders the HTML code instead of the actual email. This prevents our Zuora users from knowing exactly what was sent to the customer since they can't decipher all this gobbledygook. It would be a good idea to have a Pain Text option for email notifications so they render in a legible format. if this isn't the right section for this idea, please move appropriatly.

Support parenthesis like every other query language that has ever existed. For fun google "query language that does not support parenthesis".

We often get an UNKNOWN error when calling APIs. Recently we ran into a case where we were passing a custom field value that was too long for the value. It would be a simple thing to return that we exceeded the length. Instead the API returned UNKNOWN error. This is less than helpful. Improved error reporting would reduce customer development time. Also, since we ended up opening a support ticket it will reduce number of support issues raised.

(See https://community.zuora.com/t5/Release-Notifications/Zuora-Application-Release-230-August-2018/ba-p/24651 for context) Currently releases are given to happen over a range of datas. There's no easy way to tell which release an instance is on please. Please could a field be added to the Tenant Profile in Admin setup that gives the currently running version - that way we'll know when the release has happened, and can tell the difference from sandbox and production environments.
