I want to create an app that pulls accounts from Zoho and events so I can plot check ins on a map.

It appears that I can only create a map that plots data created inside the app from a form? surely this isn't the case. Dan
C5 and Google Maps API... OH MY!
So I've found one video on the internet that shows what I basically am needing to do. I reached out to the author, and found that he would develop it for me if I was so inclined. I would much rather continue my learning of C5 and deluge, so I'd rather find some examples out there and work with them to build my Map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e7XyIDtP3E ZOHO's support said that their own built in Map cannot do what I'm needing, so I will have to use the Google's Map API. I have a key and am

Can Zoho Creator Groups be nested?
Can the "Groups" be nested? Ref: http://help.creator.zoho.com/Manage-Groups.html In my Creator application I would like to create an hierarchy of access by means of using groups. E.g. employee group has assess to 2 views and manager group has access to the same 2 views and 1 additional view. So that I share with 2 views with the employee group, make manager group a member employee group and only share the 1 view to the manager group rather than having to share all the 3 views to the manager group.
PLEASE add support for self referencing table and tree view in report
Hi, Self-referencing table is a basic feature in a lot of comparable software (Access and Filemaker Pro). It's frustrating to migrate here and be left without the possibility of doing so. Self-referencing table is critical for allowing sub-record (sub-task, sub-milestone, etc.) management. If you have a Task form, you might want to allow your users to structure their work in a task/sub-task way. Zoho Project allow such feature. For this, you need to be able to reference a task to its parent task.

Calculate number of business days between two dates
I just wondered if Zoho Creator now supported calculating number of business days between two dates. If yes, could someone please offer some assistance and provide an example script. I know how to workout days between two dates but struggling with business days.

Display picture in HTML Page
Hi Zoho Team, In my app "Sourcing Database", there is a page HTML that can be access from the report: "View/Modify Products" in order to display in html the info from "Create_Product".

Is it about putting this app public? if so, what will be the risk for the security of this app? And how to arrange the size of this picture in the HTML view? Thanks in advance Julien

Creator - custom number prefix for units
I was curious what the best way to show a units prefix at the end of a number/decimal field would be? I am looking to add fields for session durations, and right now it works okay with a number but a GREAT quality of life feature or hack would be to allow the field to show a unit similar to how the currency field shows a '$' (or your currency) at the end of it and in reports. Anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks!
Am I right that you cannot add parameters to a For Each Record formula that references a collection?
I have an HTML page that is using the For Each formula, using a collection as the variable. When I use a collection, it would appear that you cannot add the additional parameters, like sort by or range. I wanted to sort this data by date but am not able to and just want to confirm that this is correct. Thanks! Mike

Creating a record and checking if one already exists
I have a referral form set up with a custom approval process (couldn't use the built in one because the referral form is published, and still needed the approval functionality). Once a referral is "approved" the deluge script creates a new record in our "main profile" records for the family being referred, and it populates the new record with information submitted in the referral form. My question is - is it possible to include some way to check first if there is already a record with the same

Integrating Zoho with e-commerce platform
Hi, I would like to integrate my e-shop with Zoho. For sure it's possible using APIs from Zoho and from my e-shop and then have some server that will wait for new orders to arrive.

Read data from uploaded CSV into existing log or sheet
Hello, I am needing to allow employees to upload a CSV file into a form/app. Once the form is submitted, I need the uploaded CSV file to be read and written to an existing log or sheet. I figured out how to get the CSV to write to ZOHO Sheets/Docs while using forms, but it saves each of the CSV files to a separate sheet, while I need one to be appended with each new submission. I have also tried to figure this out with using deluge scripts in Creator, but have had no luck. I don't have a preference
