Automated application documentation
I've created an application in Zoho Creator - a whole lot of forms, views, custom actions, functions etc. While the application is shaping up quite well, I've begun to realize that I have not created any documentation on the application software. Without documentation to fall-back on, I can imagine life getting quite messy down the line.
I believe the Zoho team can come up with a simple solution for this.
The fields, forms, views along with their actions (on load, on submit, on user input etc) are all neatly structured. It would be superb if on the click of a button, Zoho Creator could provide a pre-formatted application details document. One possible structure for such a document could be:
1. Form 1
1.1 Form 1 -
1.1.1 Actions on Load
1.1.2 Actions on Success
1.1.3 Fields description
1.1.3.1 Field 1 (Field name, type, hidden or not, default value, required or not etc)
1.1.3.1.1 Actions on user input for this field
1.1.3.1.2 Actions on user update for this field
1.1.3.2 Field 2 (Field name, type, hidden or not, default value, required or not etc)
1.1.3.2.1 Actions on user input for this field
1.1.3.2.2 Actions on user update for this field

1.1.4.1 View 1 (view name, type, list of columns etc)
1.1.4.2 View 2 (

If Zoho Creator could provide an automated way of generating this document, it would make life lot easier in maintaining updated documentation. I'm no developer; so I wouldn't know how easy or difficult it is for Zoho to provide this feature. But it sure would be great if Zoho can pull this one off!
