Hi Zoho Creator Community,
I’m building a Zoho Creator application and need guidance on a few features I’ve been struggling with. I want to implement them safely and efficiently, and I’d appreciate any examples, tips, or best practices.
I want users to be able to filter table records based on form inputs like a text search or category dropdown. The filtering should happen dynamically when the form inputs are submitted, ideally without relying heavily on JavaScript. For example, filtering rows where a field contains the search keyword or matches a selected category.
All records have a Document_URL field which contains the URL of the related document. I want to create a “View Tender” button so that when the user clicks it, the document from the Document_URL is automatically uploaded into a File_Upload field. This should trigger the existing OCR process on the file as it normally does when a user manually uploads a file. The goal is to simplify the workflow and avoid manual input.
I also want to display the filtered table in a custom HTML Page, passing Stateless Form inputs to the HTML Page and using Deluge to filter records. I would like to display uploaded files as clickable links in the table.
The challenges I’ve faced so far include syntax errors using <%{ %}> Deluge blocks in HTML Pages, combining Stateless Form inputs with table display logic, dynamically retrieving and displaying file links, and automatically populating File Upload fields via Deluge.
I’m looking for guidance on filtering table records dynamically using Stateless Form inputs, examples of HTML Page + Deluge integration for displaying filtered data, and tips for handling File Upload fields automatically using a Document_URL so the OCR process can run without manual intervention. Any working snippets or templates for these features would be extremely helpful.
Thank you in advance for any guidance or examples you can share!
