Restrict report access by customer (NOT user) ZC5
I want to restrict access to records in reports by customer. I will have multiple customer portals on my db and when a user accesses a report they need to be able to see ALL records for their customer, irrespective of which user added that record. I have created a deluge script that add a unique Customer ID to each record based on the user logged in. I want to restrict access to reports based on Customer ID that belongs to the user logged in. Can I do this?

HTTP PUT/DELETE for Constant Contact API integration
Hello, I am trying to do some integration with Constant Contact. Some of their API requests require the use of the HTTP PUT or DELETE requests (https://constantcontact.mashery.com/io-docs), but it looks like Zoho only has GET and POST implemented (https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/script/built-in-functions/built-in-function-url.html). Is there a workaround for this?

simple (I hope) Deluge script requests from a newbie
Hey, Complete newbie here - wondering if you good folks can assist with a script request (or two) and general Qs? I have a form with a single field that requires a QR code input (a mobile phone scan) How can I introduce a delay (in seconds) to prevent the same user from re-submitting a form (after their successful initial submission)?

How do I pre-fill some fields?
I need to create a form to allow people to enter data for multiple workshop events. I now have a form which allows a user to select their name, city and state date, time, location from dropdown menus. This works great if someone is entering a single event, but if they need to enter multiple workshops, they have to repeatedly select their name, city and state. Since this information will be the same for each event and since only the time. location and date will differ, how can I have those specific
Div / iframe
I've been having a few problems with embedding my reports in pages and Zoho has suggested two fixes using HTML snippets. One using div and one using iframe. I'm not an experienced coder so I wondered if anyone could explain the difference between divs and iframes so I could think about the implications. Many thanks!

Creator Customer Portal - Lookup Portal User ID by Email Address
I created a form which creates a Portal User via Email Address and assigns a user profile based on selected radio button (this part works great). I'm using the record of this as my own "User Profile". I've added a "Users" field but I can't get that field to auto populate. I assume it needs the ID of the portal user, but I am unsure of any deluge code which allows me to lookup the userid by email address.
Lookup field / linking forms by ID?
What would be the best practice to link multiple forms to one. Here some explanation in detail: My application is for people to add their details and upload personal files, like a sort of personal CV. Main form: Personal Details form 2: Section Add documents form 3: Section Add files form 4: Section... etc And a Page: to view all sections together and links/buttons to each section to add or update those.

Does anyone know how Pricing Plans and Users works?
First off, I just want to say I asked Zoho Support directly if they could help, and I didn't get a useful response. So I'm asking here. I am trying to set up my Pricing Plans for my SaaS solution I'm creating in Zoho Developer. This may sound dumb, but I really can't figure it out. Let's say I have an SaaS app. I want the monthly cost to be $80 a month for 5 users up-front. And I want to give them the option to add additional users for $10 each. Can I do something like this?
Fetching data from other app
Hi I've been trying to fetch address information from a client database in one app into another app. I understand the normal way within one app doesn't work. I've already found a few responses on the forum but none seems to work. I understand I create a function in app 1 and call on it in app 2. For now I'm using in app 1 forthe function the following code: string GetClientInfo(int varID) { fetaddress = Nuevo_Cliente[ID == input.varID]; return fetaddress.Direcci_n_Cliente; } In app 2 I call on
Best method to search for a customer using CRM - Creator integration
Hi, I'm working on an app that makes use of the Creator/CRM integration. Since you can only access one field at a time using the Integration field type, I'm trying to find the best way to do a customer search. For example, if I choose Last Name as the Integration field, then you could have a dozen customers with the same last name and no way to see which is the one you are looking for. Any advice? Thanks, David
insert data into two forms from stateless form- script doesn't work
I initially created this script for a stateless form to generate a unique accession number based on the current year and then insert the data into a normal form (Master_Nursery_Database). The first two portions of the code work fine. This script executes on submit. Recently I wanted to also record the data in a second normal form (Master_Database), but when I add another 'insert into' script it doesn't work. What do I need to add to get it to input data into the second form? I've included the whole

Annoying/ugly grey lines on header
UPDATE: Forgot to mention that this is happening on FireFox and Chrome. ORIGINAL POST: Been using Zoho Creator for a few years and always wondered about the ugly grey lines that appear all over the header (see red arrows in attached screenshot). Can you please tell me why they appear and how to make them disappear?
Check for duplicate
I have a persons register in Creator. Now because the database has been populated from different sources, it is possible the same person could be in the db twice. Even with different data. Therefore I want a function that can check for duplicates based on just one (or two) fields. I think what might work is check the DOB. If there are two records with the same DOB, it could be the same person. Not necessarily, but possibly. So if I could have a function that checks all records and outputs a list
Calendar Report: Ability to define the time interval in Week/Day view
The time interval defined for the Calendar Report in the Week/Day view is defaulted to 30 minutes and it can not be edited. This causes that any event with a timeframe lower than 30 min is not properly displayed. Here an example with 5 slots where 1 slot has a 30 min duration (it looks great) and the other 4 slots are 15 min (they are cut): Surprisingly, the timeline report has the minimum interval defined as 15 min so it looks to me inconsistent to keep the calendar report defined with a minimum
Import or get data from CSV file in Google Drive
Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how I might be able to get data from a CSV file, preferably from Google Drive, and use that data to input records into my app. I would like to have a CSV file of bank transactions import into my app, and hopefully via workflow/automation, rather than add transactions via mobile app/form one by one each time a transaction happens, or having to use the standard import function. At a minimum, I at least need a way to retrieve the data from the CSV. I could

Workaround for multi-language support beyond the standard
Hello all, I want my app to support English, Spanish and Portuguese languages. There is a localization feature in Zoho Creator but it's limited to field names and some field types like Drop down, Radio, Checkbox and Multi-select field. Has anyone figured out a workaround to translate certain single line fields? Not user created ones but there are many that will be predefined, for example, for my app which manages activation for wireless service from different carriers in different countries I have
Report from another application can't be viewed
Hi, There are two applications A and B. The application B has a page with report from the application A. For the administrator (myself) this works perfectly, I can view the report. However, for the customer there's an error "Report not found.". I have enabled customer portals for both applications. I have also added one test customer in the application B customer portal. I believe this is an access rights related issue, how could I allow the test customer to view the report? Or allow the report be
Sending data from ZCreator form to an Estimate in ZBooks
Trying to figure out how to send data from a Zoho Creator form to an Estimate draft in our Zoho Books account. In the form is a lookup field to "Products" in our CRM, which is synced with our "Items" in Zoho Books. Maybe this is all wrong from the get go but nonetheless still trying to figure out the best way to make this work. I've tried using flow but since the form as deluge scripts the "Flow" won't work properly. The "Products" from our form are actually part of a sub-form so ideally let's
Telephone Number Field Bug
When using deluge to add a telephone number to another telephone number field it appears a bug. The telephone field text goes behind the country code and cannot be seen very well. It also appears the field hasn't been filled in correctly. In this instance I am automatically inputting the telephone number based on the lookup of another form.
Creator New Help Pages are showing up empty
When I try to search for some strings on the new help pages and click on a url of the resulting query then a page does show up but its contents is empty. I was having this problem since a long time but couldn't exactly pinpoint the reason. Right now I need to find out some certain guides and can't find them on the help guides. For example the "Import Records into Report" page also doesn't exist on the instruction sections which can be selected from the left menu of the "Reports" home page. The sub
Creating my own pivot table using For Each Record
I would like to know how to group items and summarize the amount, based on a certain field. This code in my page (below) works just fine to get all the expenses that meet the criteria and produce the total of all the expenses. What would be cool though would be to have sub-totals of each category, as well as the grand total (like a pivot table) What I can't figure out is how to get just the records that are of a similar type, in this case all record with the same category (Home Expenses), then sum
Add organisation name to a Record Template (under Extensions > Settings)
I want to be able to add to a project template a field which is the name of the organisation. I have a Form where the user inputs this when setting up their business in the application. However, I am setting up the Record Template based on another Form, and I'm trying to work out how to pull in the name of the organisation into the Record Template. I have thought about creating a field on the Form to which the organisation name is added every time a record is created, but this seems a bit long-winded.

How to work with this exchange rate data
Hey everyone, My question is more of a personal head scratcher. In my finance app, I want to do a some exchange rate conversion. I found this site, https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest, which provide basic csv type data of the current rates of the day (adequate for my needs, and free :-). I was able to make a workflow using the invoke url deluge task to bring the data into a text field. Great. Problem is, now I can't seem to figure out what to DO with the data. In the text field, it's not
RegEx in Creator using replaceAll function
I am having trouble wrapping my head around the use of replaceAll and RegEx in Zoho Creator. It's my understanding I can't capture groups like I would with JS or Python. Can anyone provide guidance on how I could accomplish the following? str = "abcdefgh Record Date: 2020-04-05\n. abcdefghijklmnop" I'm trying to capture the word after Record Date:, and between \n. In other words, I'm trying to use the function to return only 2020-04-05.
