Upcoming updates - August 2019

Hello App Creators,

Before the end of August, the Zoho Creator team will be rolling out the following features updates:
  • Pin customization in map reports
  • Criteria support for schedules
  • Enhancements to rebranded mobile apps
  • New UI for groups
We'll comment below and update our changelog as these updates are made available. And here's the link to our previous post: Upcoming updates - July 2019

Pin customization in map reports

Applicable to: Zoho Creator 5

It's here! A feature that many of you have been requesting.

Currently, the map report displays all records using the same pin. With this enhancement you'll be able to:
  • Change the icon and color of the default pin
  • Create multiple custom pin styles, which can be applied to records that satisfy a certain criteria

Criteria support for schedules

Applicable to: Zoho Creator 5

Currently, the schedule workflows in your Creator 5 account are executed each time a record is created or edited. 

Once this update is rolled out, you’ll be able to set a criteria and the schedule workflow will be executed only for those records that satisfy said criteria.

Note: You’ll be able to edit schedules and set or modify their criteria at any time.

Enhancements to rebranded mobile apps

Applicable to: Zoho Creator 5

  • Push notifications will be supported in rebranded mobile apps
  • Rebranded user mobile apps will follow the OAuth standard. This will make your rebranded mobile apps more secure.

New UI for groups

Applicable to: All accounts

We’re introducing a new UI for the Groups page under Account Setup.
