... voted as the Community's choice for the first Community Driven Feature to be presented to the ZOHO Creator Team for development by a Resource dedicated to this channel.
Out of the 24 people who cast their votes, 9 voted for this suggestion as their 1st choice ... with a further 4 as their 2nd choice and 2 as their 3rd choice ... indicating that 62.5% of the people favoured this feature as one of their top 3 choices.
Other suggestions worth a mention were ...
A. binarysprinter - OpenUrl Ajax Popup w AutoClose [Similar to the popup while clicking Add Record in a View] - http://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community?ftid=2266000000253016 ... 4 1st choices and 10 votes

... hopefully, the authors will be sufficiently encouraged to re-submit these suggestions for the next cycle.
For now, my work on Cycle 1 is done ... however, I hope the ZOHO Creator Team will follow up on this leading edge concept of Community Driven Enhancements with another innovative concept ... i.e. engaging the Users (especially the author and the ones who cast their votes for this feature) in the pre-coding stages (requirements definition, design) ... so the delivered results reflect the wishes of the people who will be deploying the delivered functionality.
Next week, we can begin work on Cycle 2.
