Zoho Creator Upcoming Updates - August 2023
Hello all!
We're excited to be here again, bringing you the latest updates and enhancements for this month:
-
API v2.1
-
Custom sorting/grouping of records
-
Enhanced navigation in forms
- QR and barcode scanning for PWAs
- - - - - - - - - -
Now let’s dive into each of this month’s updates:
API v2.1
We'll be releasing a slew of new APIs that are essentially an upgraded and improved version of the existing v2 APIs.
Get records and Get records by ID
-
The number of records that can be fetched by the v2.1 API can be 200, 500 or 1000(Default). In comparison, the v2 API can only handle 200.
- The entire content of records can be fetched using the v2.1 API. In comparison, the v2 API can only fetch the Quick view or detail view.
Add records, Update records, and Delete records
-
These v2.1 APIs records will come with a new attribute that enables you to skip workflows. For example, form and schedule actions will not be executed if this attribute is used.
Note:
Even after the introduction of the new v2.1 APIs, their corresponding v2 APIs will continue to be available. Both will co-exist and you can just pick the one that works best for you.
How do I benefit?
The new v2.1 APIs bring enhanced functionalities, improved performance, and increased flexibility, so you can meet a wide range of business requirements.
Applicable for:
C5, C6

Custom sorting/grouping of records
We'll be reintroducing custom sorting and custom grouping of records, giving you greater control and flexibility over how your data is arranged and displayed in live mode. With this nifty feature, you can simply drag and drop the records as needed to get a specific view of your information based on your sorting/grouping needs.
Where to find them
-
Navigate to the
Report Properties
in the edit mode of the required report. Then within the
Sorting/Grouping
section, choose the
Custom order
option.
-
Now, switch to the live mode of the report. Then click the
Configure custom order
button.
-
Then in the popup, you can add items the required items for Sorting/Grouping.
How do I benefit?
Custom sorting allows you to decide how your records are displayed, as well as narrow down and access crucial information, resulting in a more efficient data management process.
Applicable for:
C6
Availability:
All DCs
Released on: 03-Oct-23

Enhanced navigation in forms
With the aim of making form filling a breeze, we've come up with two new enhancements for navigation within forms. These are designed keeping in mind the various navigational needs that may arise out of different scenarios.
Tab key indexing
- This new capability in form field navigation will allow you to change the tab order of form fields, making navigating more efficient and intuitive. The tab order can be configured to be vertical
or
horizontal
. Users can now go forward or right between fields by using the
Tab
key, and backward or left by using the
Shift+Tab
combination. Crucially, when utilizing a multi-column layout, form field navigation is determined by the arrangement of fields in the form builder, rather than their appearance in live mode.
Four-way navigation
- Going forward, you can move between fields in all four directions: up, down, left, and right. You can do this simply by combining the up/down arrow keys or the left/right arrow keys with special keys, such as the
Alt key on Windows or the Option key on Mac. This new update aims to provide an additional method of navigating between form fields, allowing users to move across the form more quickly and efficiently.
How do I benefit?
These updates enhance the user experience by providing seamless navigation, better accessibility, greater convenience, and increased efficiency in the form-filling process, resulting in faster data entry.
Applicable for:
C5, C6
- - - - - - - - - -
QR and barcode scanning for PWAs
QR code and barcode scanning, which were so far available only on our mobiles apps, will soon be launched on our progressive web apps (PWAs) too. This powerful functionality opens up a world of convenience and possibilities for you.
Where to find them
-
Launch our PWA on your smartphone or tablet. Navigate to the required form.
Note: You need to enable QR code/Barcode under the User Input (for mobile) section in Field properties. -
You'll see the
scan
button adjacent to the fields for which you enabled the property. Click on it to start scanning.
How do I benefit?
Scanning capabilities enrich your experience, offering new ways to access information and enter content into your Creator forms.

Layout Rules Don't Apply To Blueprints
Hi Zoho the conditional layout rules for fields and making fields required don't work well with with Blueprints if those same fields are called DURING a Blueprint. Example. I have field A that is used in layout rule. If value of field A is "1" it is supposed to show and make required field B. If the value to field A is "2" it is supposed to show and make required field C. Now I have a Blueprint that says when last stage moves to "Closed," during the transition, the agent must fill out field A. NowArticle Name Sorting in Zoho Desk Knowledge Base (agent / admin side)
