Zoho Creator makes building customized business applications a breeze for thousands of business around the world. Today, we are happy to present to you the latest from Zoho Creator.
Zoho Creator users are familiar with the Look Up field. A lookup field establishes a relationship between two forms in such a way that each parent record is associated with only one child record. Subforms are the next logical step. Subforms are of use in scenarios where each parent record needs to be associated with multiple child records, giving rise to one to many relationships.
While the parent form shows data from the "one" side of the relationship, the subform shows data from the "many" side of the relationship.
The subform is inserted into the parent form. Thus the parent and child records are displayed in one place eliminating the need to switch between forms.
Here’s a quick video that tells you how to add subforms to your application.
Any new feature in Zoho Creator, comes with some Deluge Power to it. Subforms are scriptable too. Users can add workflows and business rules to the parent form and to the subform. And yes you guessed it right. All in one place. The subform itself is listed among the fields in the script builder. Not just that, The “On Add Row” and “On Delete Row” are 2 new tasks meant for Subforms. These tasks can be executed when a child record is added to or deleted from the subform.
