Some Observations ...

I was exploring some of the options referenced in this wiki page ... http://zohocreator.wiki.zoho.com/Zoho-Creator-URL-Patterns.html ... and have the following observations ...


a) There are urls to have the contents of a view returned in xls, html, pdf, rss, json, csv and tsv formats ... but not in XML format ... would be nice to be able to ... http://creator.zoho.com/myWorkspace/myApplication/xml/myView/

b) When I specify something like ... http://creator.zoho.com/myWorkspace/myApplication/pdf/myView/ ... the resulting file ...

- does not render html content (in Text fields) ... same content with html option renders as expected

- the 'column width selection' leaves a lot to be desired e.g. my column of a  Multi-Line Text field is squished ... yet the output has about 75% white space to the right of the column


c) From the rss format, when I click on one of the links, I can have it rendered as a "Record Summary" View ... noticed that the url is of the format ... 

http://creator.zoho.com/myWorkspace/myApplication/record-summary/myView/xxxx9000000103yyyy/

... where I presume the last item is the ID of the record.


This is very useful to know ... but I noticed that this url does not work without the trailing ID item ... any reason for that ?


Perhaps, the ZOHO Creator Team can respond.
