Newbie Question - Pass parameter from one form to another
Hello, I am new to ZOHO but I think it is just what I have been looking for. I want to pass a parameter (facility ID) from one form to another. Here is a summary of my app: This is a basic assessment questionnaire of about 100 questions for a facility. Questions are broken out into sections (Forms). A facility will sign in and go through all the questions (forms) and then I'll compile a report based on total answers for that facility. A facility should not be able to see any data from other facilities.
HELP....Link 2 or more forms with record ID
Anybody know how to link 2 or more forms by a record ID? I'm still trying to figure out if this is possible. I have a facility ID on an initial form that I need to autopopulate on additional forms when a user goes to the other forms. Seems like this should be easy but I have looked all over other place with no luck. Basically when a customer fills in facility ID for an initial form any other form they goto should autopoplate the facility ID from the first form. Thanks.
Creating Tasks for users
Hi There, Very new to zoho creator and I wanted to know if there is a possibility of creating tasks for users of the application. For Example: User fills in a form that needs to submitted and have a response completed by another individual. I would then create a person responsible field. They would then open the application and be able to see they need to complete the task. So, is this possible? Thanks,
Does anyone use the iOS Creator App? Is your time worth nothing? For me, it's SLOW.
First, I love Zoho Creator... I have spent a lot of time making things just the way I want. BUT, I am at a crossroads with it due to the UNBEARABLY SLOW iOS app. I mean it's bad. Maybe it's my app, but I'm just getting started. I have a pretty straight-forward dispatching app I've built for a local service-based business. I really only use a form for clients and a form for service calls, and it is soooo slow. I have an iPhone 7, totally up-to-date and it seems like it is only getting worse
Updating records programatically to duplicate a column's contents to another newly added column
I have a form where I have added a dummy, hidden single line field that mirrors a lookup field so that I can refer this field from other forms as a lookup. This is working. In the report I see an extra dummy column that's identical entries. Unfortunately the older entries have this dummy column empty. Is there a way to automatically populate them? In something like Excel this would literally be a simple copy paste of one col to another. But how can I achieve this in Zoho Creator?
Search in single line field in a form

Interesting map results
I've been playing around with a map variable, just to characterize how maps work. I want to return a map from a function so several pieces of information can be used by the calling code.

Report using a script to calculate Subform data
Hi Experts, I would have liked to be able to add a button to my form so that we can automatically add multiple entries to a subform but a search of the forum indicates it's not possible.

Inconsistent search results.
Has this been raised before? I have a database which defines a service, the service name is free hand entry by user. Another user at a later date searches for services based on availability by time and location. I search the database and provide a list of services by name loaded into a drop-down list. The user selects the service by name, I collect that and search the database to recover the record appropriate to the selection. This sometimes does not work. It does not work because of an inconsistency

Add a related record using deluge?
Hi, I would like to add records using deluge so they appear in a subform.
