Multiple connected subforms in one form or a suggested workaround

Multiple connected subforms in one form or a suggested workaround

I have several objects that are 1-many related objects in a kind of vertical hierarchy so for example Courses have several Units and Units have several Objectives and Objectives have several Criterias etc.

I would like to make it easy for the user to add this structure in one form since a lot of the information is common so no need to repeat the whole hierarchy again every time they want to add a Criteria for example.

I created a Add Course form which allows adding Units (as a subform):


I was also trying to allow him to add the Objectives in the same form since Objectives are a subform of the "Units" form which is added as a subform to this main form. Basically Objectives was a subform of the subform but it does not look like this is possible.

Since I am new to Zoho Creator I was wondering if any of you experts had any suggestions to tackle this problem.

Can I add two sibling subforms and use Deluge to connect between the two? But if so, how do I "select" a record in a subform so that I can connect the other subform to it? Subforms seems to only have "input" fields not like a record where you can "select".

Should I be using Pages/Reports instead? How do I connect the different parts in a Page so that when I select a "record" on one part I show the list of child records on another part? And can I add new records and have them immediately appear in the same screen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have configured the workflow to send out emails with different templates, which work perfectly when sent manually. However,

                                                                                                  • Disable Private Reply.

The reason is that sometimes we click on reply or "reply all," but the system automatically selects "private." Am I doing something wrong? Thanks Rudy

We currently have three names for one item, all have had a transaction associated so there is no deleting (just deactivating, which doesn't really help. It still appears so people are continuing to use it). I also can't assign inventory tracking to items used in past transactions, which I don't understand, this is an important feature moving forward.. It would be nice to merge into one item and be able to track inventory. Let me know if this is possible.
