Feature request: Zoho Creator - Zoho Writer integration for mail merge
Hi, I've set up a purchase order template on Zoho Writer and I want to have the fields in my template linked to the fields in a report in Zoho Creator. So far I was only able to achieve this by exporting a CSV file from ZC and importing it into ZW through mail merge. Is there anyway to automate this process? Will Zoho consider integrating both apps?
Page embedded report "Add Record" button
A fundamental need is to embed a report in a page and add records to this report. When pressing the + button on the embedded report the form size is limited to the report size, which can significantly reduce the user experience. I would appreciate if
10 suggestions for Global Search
Global search is great! And it is new so we know you may have improvements coming :-) Suggestions: DEFINING "SEARCH OPTIONS" add these settings and of course obey them in the UI and searching: * Whether that form is available at all for Global Search. (If no, ignore all settings and do NOT show in GS dropdown, and do not search that form.) * Which columns to display (already available) --but please actually show all fields selected, not just the first 7) * Which fields are actually to be searched
How to make a formula that incorporates other formula fields?

Rich Text Editor: Insert Image
Having an "insert image" button in the RTE field would be beneficial. Currently, images can be inserted using the html button and the <img src="some url"> tag, but novice users don't realize this. I understand there would be complications to upload an image from your desktop in terms of how this image is stored at ZC, so I'm merely suggesting the insert image button only be for images with urls. As a best practice, mimic this forum's insert image button:
New version
Plz admin long time we used the old version plz bring us new taste of invoice 🙂 we 💞Zoho app.
Increase Image Upload File Size
Currently the limit is only 10mb, it would be great if this could be increased to at least 20mb. It is often requested.
Random String Generator
Suggestion: Random String Generator Purpose: A built-in function that can generate a random string. Tastes great with password input field! Motivation: Zoho Creator is missing a random-number generator. Examples: Create a strong password for a user. Alternative to Zoho ID#. Implementation: The function would have the parameters: character length, number range, and option to include alphabet charters (lowercase) Issues: Limited audience I bet. References: none I could find
Feature Request: disable specific dates from calendar (based on rules)
Hello, I have two fields: departure date and return date (for flight). Business logic is: - The departure cannot be in the past (the sooner is today) - The return cannot happen before the departure (the sooner is the same day as departure) Best option I've found is to display alert messages in case above rules are not validated. But instead of letting the user selecting dates that are not valid and then displaying an alert message, it would be better to prevent the user from selecting dates that
Window tablet native app
Hi Zoho, With windows based tablets are becoming more popular and starting to gain market share from Android and Apple it would be nice to see Zoho publish the Creator app for larger devices. We are moving all of users off the ipad onto the Microsoft Surface line this year and would like to use it as a native app. I would assume this would be very useful for many businesses... Windows phone version is already created and published, why not make it available for tablets? Thanks for your consideration.
Feature Request: Dynamic Field Names/Labels

Functionality URL Idea: The OR operator
Referring to this: https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/url-pattern/functionality-based-urls.html#To_set_criteria_for_a_view I propose to include "or" as well as "and" for creating views on the fly. For example, https://creatorexport.zoho.com/admin/mydata/json/My_View/Town=Lakeview||City=Summerville Would provide all records (in this case as a json stream) with either the Town Lakeview OR the City Summerville Is there a workaround?

New "Loading Animation" on web
The current loading animation is unclear at best when a user clicks on a menu item. The current animation is right under the app name header and stretches horizontally across the page. The animation seems to be sliding little boxes from left to right. Frankly, it looks like it was supposed to be a gradient, but the image never loaded. And it has been like this for years. See the current animation style here, I created a short little video: https://take.ms/abc7B My issue with this animation is that
Impossible to connect Zoho Creator to a SalesForce sandbox enviroment, unless...
Hi folks! We have too many clients who are asking to us for integrations with their actual SalesForce data. The problem is Zoho Creator is only able to connect with SalesForce LIVE enviroments. And our clients can't give us access to the live enviroment. This is something we really need.

"Allow New Entries" button for lookup field enhancement
Hi, When using the "Allow New Entries" option for a lookup field it is sometimes necessary to default certain fields in the related form based on field values in the current form. Would it be possible to add an option to set field values in the Field Properties of the lookup when "Allow New Entries" is selected? This would insure data integrity. Thanks, Damien Cregan Hire an Expert
Using ZC to control electrical relays

Enable displaying individual user data and aggregate data from all users on the same chart

Specific tab titles in the editor
As it currently stands, each tab title in the editor is "Zoho Creator", which makes it impossible to tell which tab is which. Instead, it would be handy to have the tab titles in the editor reflect where one is in the editor. E.g. FormA FormB ReportA
Anyway to exit the "for each" loop prematurely? I do it from my gf all the time.
I'm curious if there is a way to exit a "for each" loop before cycling through all elements. For example: records1 = conditions[active == true]; records2 = valid_codes[active == true]; for each r1 in records1 { for each r2 in records2 { if (r1.code == r2.code) { input.code = r1.code; break; -OR- records2 = patients[true == false]; } } }
Zoho Creator and Zoho Doc Scanner App - Integration
I think it would be amazing, if when I added an image field in my Zoho Creator App, that I could choose from Zoho Doc Scanner. https://take.ms/qLVnO Then, instead of taking pictures, we can use the app and scan and attach as a pdf.

Please consider adding User-Response choices to the Alert function
In some cases we'd like to give an Alert message but allow the user to confirm/cancel. Example: "We normally do not delete Comp records unless they are duplicates. Are you sure you want to delete?". Could this be added to deluge? Perhaps a new message type "Prompt" and maybe with simple choices Yes, No, Cancel (or ideally configurable texts for more complex needs such as "Delete / Mark Inactive / Cancel") and maybe even more deluxe features. Following the prompt, the deluge script of course would

Please change "more options" in reports or pages as a property that can be turned "off" just like "Export", "Print" can be unticked to disable them.
Hi, Please change "more options" in reports or pages as a property that can be turned "off" just like "Export", "Print" can be unticked to disable them. Sometimes enabling anyone of these options like "Spreadsheet" can be quite devastating if unintended
Adding checkbox, radio buttons and dropdown into Report columns just like the buttons.
This will make Reports even more powerful/useful for users to update records directly in a Report and avoid the extra steps to open a form and save a form just to change the value in a column.
Add Workflow/events to Reports.
It would be good if Reports can have Workflow events to control what happens before a report is loaded so that only specific records based on user's request parameters can be presented before Report starts. This report parameters can then be saved as
Add Color filter feature to Report column buttons also in Page buttons too.

Add more gesture/click behavior
Hi there, I'm just reposting to the forum, for the community to discuss on it, my suggestion to add some more gesture/mouse-click behavior. First of all, thank you SO MUCH for adding the feature to edit the click/tap action of a record! Been able to directly click on a record to edit is really nice! I would like to suggest the additional behavior: - double-click action (to edit record for example if Onclick = view) - over-mouse action (to view record detail for example if Onclick = edit) Please

Allow more super admins
We need the ability to add more than one super admin to a site. Currently my boss is the only that has super admin because the business is just starting out. Eventually the business will gain so much data that one person will not be able to adjust everything without large delays especially in new businesses that don't have a set model for how their website and data organization should look. With that in mind Zoho isn't that scalable in terms of website management because your limiting customization
