How to build report using check box data?
Zoho Creator says that a known limitation is that reports can't be built from data recorded through multi-select or check boxes. Surely there MUST be a way to do this! It's true that these fields don't show up in the drag and drop menu for me to build a pivot chart from but has anyone found a way to do this? It's pretty essential for my application. Thanks, Lindsay
Adding a rule to style
Hi Zoho, I have some parts of page that I'd like to show only to one user. Instead of using "if" every time on the page, I'd like to create a style. I've created this function: string styles.EditPossible( String UserName) { if (UserName = "CorrectUser") { EditPossStyle="<style>.EditPossStyle{display:inline;}</style>"; } else { EditPossStyle="<style>.EditPossStyle{display:none;}</style>"; } return EditPossStyle; } And i call it one the html page using <%=thisapp.styles.EditPossible(zoho.loginuser)%>

Custom action to edit record in edit mode..
Hi I'm trying to use a custom action use a function to open a form at a specific record...e.g. http://creator.zoho.com/<userName>/<applinkname>/#Form:<formlinkname>?recLinkID=<recordID>&viewLinkName=<viewlinkname> Here is the command I've using.. I know the form name is right and the reportLinkName is right (as far as I can tell..) - the form shows up but there is no data in it.. when I mouse over an existing record I can see the ID - which I've copied and pasted... any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Filter subform items based on parent form
I have a purchase order form with a subform for adding items to the purchase order. I only want parts that belong to the vendor selected in the parent form to be available in the subform lookup field. Each part in the subform is related to the vendor selected in the parent form. How can I apply a filter to the lookup field in the subform based on the vendor selected in the parent form? I'm trying to use the Set filter in the field properties section but maybe this needs to be done with deluge.
what happens to data entered into form if user loses connectivity?
Im designing an app for data entry and was curious what happens if connection is lost (or user goes into airplane mode). For mobile users, I'd expect that the reports will be unavailable, but will the form be unable to be accessed? For PC use... Is there a way to have it store records locally until connectivity is restored, then automatically push them back up to the cloud once connection returns? My users travel a lot and I think being able to enter data while in flight would be valuable.
Decision Field width in subform.
Hi Everyone, I'm new here, but am getting my feet wet with a fairly complicated app. I'm just wondering, why can't I resize a decision field in a subform? I have a lot of columns in my subform, and three decision boxes. They are killing my column real estate. I expected this answer to already have been asked, but I have been right over the forum and can't find anything similar. Thanks, LJ
Fetch Record
Hi! I have a Form Orders_form and an Exchange form. I need the customers information to populate (ie. Name, Address, Item Purchased) when I provide the Exchange form the Orders_form Order No. I have the relationship setup...i was reading in the resources and found the code i needed but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? I have this setup on the On User Input of the lookup field Orders. if (Orders_form[Order_No == input.Orders].count() > 0) { x = Orders_form [Order_No == input.Orders];

Redirect to different urls after submission of web form
Hi there - we have an embedded form that has a radio option of 3 choices: -pay online after submission -payment already on file -mail payment I can setup the single URL redirect of a successful submission easy enough for all, but I would like to know if someone can show me a way to script that so each of those 3 choices opens a different page, so 'pay online after submission' when selected and submitted will open the payment gateway url, and the other 2 options will redirect to a static html page
Share form script code
Can you please allow us to create common/shared script functions for forms. Right now I need to repeat code across: * Add -> On Load * Edit -> On Load * Field -> On User Input The scenario is a Drop Down field called 'Type' that controls hide/show of other fields on the form. Having to repeat the script across multiple places is a maintenance pain. A custom function will not work as you can do no UI operations.
How can I change the formatting of controls in creator?
Hi Zoho User/Developers, I want to show 2 radio option in a zoho form. I just want to make them visually different. Like first option need to have blue color and second as red. And need to increase their size also as on ipad i want to cover the whole area. This will help our user in long run to provide input by just looking at color rather reading text. Please let me know how can I do this. Thanks
Unable to updates a notes field in a function
Why can't I update an 'Add Notes' field on a form object? Every time I find what looks like a workaround for a Creator limitation you prevent me. In form scripts for Add -> Load, Edit -> Load, field -> On User Input etc, I can change input.notes value. Letting me do this in functions allows for bulk updates when it's value has to be re-calculated. I am trying to get around limitations that I have outlined here in details to present a quick list users can choose from to access related form objects
Is there a record upload limit for creating and app or form?
A few times I've uploaded a larger file (maybe 3,000 rows, 10 columns in excel) and the import process for zoho creator just hangs with a blank webpage. Is there a file limit of some sort or any idea why this would happen? Thanks, Brady
Lookup pulls string, not ID
Seems like a lot of questions along this vein go the other way -- people want to pull a string not the ID. I actually have the opposite problem: I have lookup fields in forms that date back to 2013 that pull strings, when what I need is IDs. Here's the Form definition text in question: must have School_Group ( displayname = "School/Group" type = picklist values = Schools.Name_of_School displayformat = [ Name_of_School + "
Free form script field intellisense
The list of fields displayed when editing in free-form script mode is from the wrong Form. In the screenshot it is showing fields from Contact which is not the selected Form.
Form Names
The standard for form naming appears to be 'Add XXXXXX' The issue is this title is also displayed when editing records which is confusing. This could be solved by letting us rename the display name of items in Sections. I can call the form 'Contact' and in Sections set its display name as 'Add Contact'
delete subform records when main form deleted
Hi - I have a subform with a lookup field back to the ID of the main form. If I delete the main form, shouldn't it delete the subform records? Or do I have to script this somehow? Right now, when I delete the main form, the subform's lookup field is cleared, but the record remains. Thanks for any assistance...
Сode re usage in form
I have a big block of code using in a form and I would like to reuse it in different places "On user input". It looks like Function; however, I also need to use not only operators llike input.name = something, but hide/show fields. How can I organize this? for example: can I transfer Form as an object to Custom Function? or some other way to avoid the repetition the same piece of code?

website builder does not permit text editing
Just started a few days ago; put cursor in middle of a text block of existing text and there is no editing capability. Cursor just sits there. The editing menu appears (font, size, etc) but your cursor cannot manipulate, change, add text. Replicated the same scenario in Edge and Chrome. Windows 10; state of the art laptop, less than 2 weeks old. Was able to create and modify text a few days ago. Now, the entire website builder editing is down regardless of what page or text block I choose.

Hi there I have a parent form "Booking" which contains a "Date Booking Made" field. I have a child form "Booking Detail" which contains a "Booking Date" field - this field was added today.
