challenges and opportunities - customer portal
I have recently completed an application development that utilises the customer portal. Use case - our customers are invited to the portal which they will use to confirm the details of their project, give approval to proceed and make payments. Following implementation, I have found a number of difficulties that make the portal difficult to use: Inviting customers to the portal. We are trying to make this as easy as possible for our customers to gain access. We already know their email address,
Dynamic Function Calls
Is there any intention to support dynamic function calling in deluge scripting. Example: x = "functionName"; r = callFunction(x, parm1, parm2); I think this feature is very important especially used to pass callback functions.
Add time on the x axis of the page's graph
Hello, I use Creator 5, and I would like to be able to insert the time's fields on the x axis of the graphs on the pages. Actually I see only other field's type (number, text, ecc.). Thanks Best regards
Bulk Add Functions
Hello, I think it will be great if we can use the attached form to add multi-functions instead of one at a time
Sticky Group Header In List View [Feature Request]
Hello, I would like to thank the devs for refining the app while waiting for C5... An additional improvement would be to have the group header being sticky. When there's a large number of rows in many groups, you can feel lost when scrolling up or down and not being able to identify what you see (lost context). Sticky group header would help. I made a little video showing the feature. Thanks for taking into consideration. Best Regards, Thierry C.
Edit next record
It would be useful to add a button that allows to edit next filtered records after submit. Now if I edit a record and submit, I must scroll to find the next record that I want to edit. Thanks
Pls, add custom action buttons in record-summary View (wich are specified for this view)

Feature Request - Total application count
Hi there, In the usage details section of the dashboard it would be very helpful to have a total application count to tell you exactly how many applications you have. We have hundreds so actually counting them up is extremely difficult. I'm sure this feature would be beneficial for most users Thanks
problem with link
hi, what's wrong with this code? it says "link not found" if(input.Candidato != null) { //populate field input.plain = "<a href='https://app.zohocreator.com/" + zoho.appuri + "/#Form:Calendario_Form_Link_Name?recLinkID=" + input.Candidato + "&viewLinkName=Elenco_Contatti_View_Report_Link_Name&zc_LoadIn=dialog'>Open Record</a>"; show plain; } else { hide plain; }
We need the application environment with our own logo both in android and IOS
Hi I'm Kishore Kumar.S as developer in Sixty One Steps Advertising Private Limited, we have been using the zoho products around 7 to 8 months as of now We developing web applications through Zoho creator for our clients and we want mobile application with our logo as both in android and IOS platform is it possible if, please let us know the steps. as already we know about zoho creator portal application (it is very simple and compare to mobile application in play store this is difficult) we want
Option to rename Print -> Print as Record Summary
I think it would be a nice feature to be able to set a different name for print dropdown in reports. So far we have "print as Record Summary" but it would be nice to our end users to have "Print Invoice" or "Print confirmation" instead. Easier to remember what it is for and to distinguish from "Print as Summary". Next thing would be to allow to hide "Print as Summary" as I think it is rarely used.
Break subform view into multiple columns
Hi Zoho, my client has requested a feature: He is trying to export the data into MS Excel. Obviously this feature would only work properly if there was only one row in the subform (e.g. one child entry). If you had multiple rows (multiple children), perhaps the values could be provided separated by tabs (since tabs cannot be added to an input field), e.g. for child name: "Bruce, Tom". cheers, Jeremy
Feature request: CSS editing in record summary
Hello, I really like the idea that I can customize a record summary template to fit my organization's needs. However, I feel that the HTML editing feature is very limited by itself. Would Zoho consider giving users the option to edit the page in CSS? I think this would be an extremely useful feature which will give users the ability to further customize the templates. Thanks!
Feature Request: control sort order in dropdown fields
This one is pretty simple. Dropdown fields have an option for "Alphabetical order". I've finally found a client who has a giant list of values, all DATES, and so to find anything in 2017, for example, the user has to scroll through many pages. I'd like to just sort in descending order, not ascending. It would be nice if you offered this option in the future. Thanks! Bruce
Cycle 2: Time-only Input Field
Suggestion: Time-only Input Field Purpose: Allow a user to input a time (similar to the date-only input field), but just for time. Motivation: I simply do not like in current implementation of the date-time input filed. We have date-only, why not time also? It's in military time, and most western nations are more familiar to AM/PM notation I don't need seconds, or at least I'd like to have to option not to display seconds In some cases (browsers) the java app does not appear and manual entry is cumbersome
Extend Quickbooks Integration
Extend Quickbooks integration by supporting additional modules e.g. Estimate module and enable function for sending forms e.g. invoices etc from Quickbooks via API.
Comma
It's almost a deal breaker for some users that the currency fields do not have commas. When I tell my users I can't do that I look like an idiot. Do I really have to roll my own validation and formatting with text fields? Was it a $100000000 dollar deal or was it a $10000000 deal? There are 90 million good reasons right there for commas. Please add commas. Please. tx, tt
Non-responsive views in Mobile Browser (iPad)
Has anyone noticed that the creator applications when viewed in a mobile browser (iPad) lost its responsiveness? It now appears very small font size and need to zoom into to read contents. Obviously this make use by field staff quite difficult. This is not at all a good move, as lots of my users are depending on accessing the app in mobile devices (iPads), and very challenging and frustrating.
Can't add a link to the form record within message in Email Notification.
I'm trying to put a generated link in my Email Notification message using values from the form. The link URL is https://app.zohocreator.com<%=zoho.appuri%>#Form:Add_project?recLinkID=<%=ID%>&viewLinkName=Dossiers_en_cours This is what I get before saving : And his is what I get after saving and then refreshing the page (to see if it committed well, because y'know, HTML getting modified against your will is a common problem with ZohoCreator) : Please implement a way to include links to the current
Technical problem with subform, add record form modal and external applications
I've found a very specific bug that's nonetheless necessary to fix. Here's how to replicate it : We have two apps in the same account whose linknames are "v5_bons" and "v5_gestion_inventaire". v5_gestion_inventaire has a form Nouveau_Produit which represents products. v5_bons has a form Bon_fournisseur which has a blank subform which contains a Lookup field towards v5_gestion_inventaire's Nouveau_Produit form. While testing the form Bon_fournisseur, I tried to make a Nouveau_Produit using the "+
Allow developers to save changes to Reports
Here is another restriction I would like to see removed if logged in as a developer. In live mode if there is a change to which fields are hidden/shown the developer can only save as a New View. Since there is no option in edit mode to hide/show fields only the app owner can make these changes. Either include the ability in edit mode to hide/show fields or allow the developer to save changes in live mode.
file upload size limit
Can I set file size limit for upload fields? This is very important as in my application, some users have uploaded monster files, and it wastes a lot of storage space as well as ruins download speeds. Thanks.
Any news on "Deluge NG" ?
This post from the man behind ZohoCreator mentionned about a new version of the Deluge language called "Deluge NG". Now what is ahead over the next few years? I am personally working on what I call Deluge NG - the next generation of Deluge that I hope would offer much more expressive power, while at the same time being as accessible as Deluge today. My goal is to empower the "casual programmer" or even power user to get a lot more done, without having to get a Computer Science degree. It is still
Printer for mobile app
Hi! Need to connect Zoho Creator App on iOS to printer. We have to print right from the app PDF documents.
OpenUrl to Export Record Summary Template to PDF
Is it possible to export PDF of custom Record Summary Template using OpenUrl? So On Submit it exports to PDF? Using the script below just creates a pdf of the actual view. Not of the individual record. openUrl((((("https://creatorexport.zoho.com/" + zoho.adminuser) + "/") + zoho.appname) + "/pdf/<ViewLinkName>/") + input.ID, "New window"); Damien Cregan Hire an Expert
Mixture of number of columns in a form
Hi, My sub forms need to go the length of the form because their information is presented horizontally but data from my other fields would be more successfully presented in 2 columns. Is it possible to develop column breaks so that I could more effectively present my information? Thanks
Web Sections in Forms
Please support a new component type for Forms - the Web section. It should allow expressions/formulas to build the URL and be updated on field value changes. Use case is very simple - I want to display maps, and other external web content based on field values. This would be super awesome and I imagine pretty straight forward to implement.
Custom buttons on Record forms (not Stateless)
Please allow us to add unlimited buttons to record based forms and connect On Click script code. I want a 'Button' field type to be added to the palette of control types like Single Line. This would solve some major UX issues for me creating a usable app for users. Properties of this button should include: Standard options including * Field Name * Field Deluge Name * Configure field actions -> On Click handler New options: * Trigger Validation - Yes/No As a very experienced CRM consultant/implementer
When will users be able to enjoy inline editing (Sheet/Grid views), and bulk editing? :-)
When an app becomes even slightly sophisticated and has some scripting, we loose these useful features! Bulk Edit is allowed but does not trigger the scripting. Sheet and Grid views are not available. The workarounds I'm seeing don't seem very satisfactory. Bulk edit: admin only (and live with the danger), or create custom actions with bulk edit scripting. Missing Sheet/Grid views: no workarounds Is Zoho working to add SUPPORT so that sheet/grid views, and bulk edit, DO TRIGGER the form scripting?
Ability to drag attachements from emails straight into Zoho Creator
Currently, if I want to import an attachment from an email into Zoho I have to download it from the email onto my computer, then upload it into a Zoho Creator file upload field. It would be great if you could click and drag the document straight into the file upload field. For similar example, within Gmail you can click and drag an attachment from an email straight into a folder in Windows File Explorer.

Finish implementing the Users Field, or allow fetching from Users database.
It's annoying how such a crucial feature ends up being utterly useless and wasting me hours as I'm trying to figure out how to get the Email ID from the user I've selected within a Users Field. This field's only purpose as of now is to assign a record's owner name automatically as the user name of the user chosen from that field OR to do logic-defying assignments involving comparisons between zoho.loginuser and other such internal values from the application. However, there is absolutely, AB-SO-LU-TELY
Request: In the Reports UI for User ad-hoc searches: support boolean logic within a column and between columns (ideally via Criteria builder?)
This is a common wish for us, and I see that this is has been requested multiple times. We see that we could build something of the sort using a stateless form with results shown on an HTML page. Yet... MUCH more powerful would be to support it in the native reports UI . This way, the user may have more flexible ad-hoc options in the search, and most importantly: when results are delivered, the user has all the controls of the standard UI vs. html list. NOTE that the Global search is not sufficient
Show/hide in mobile
Hi Zoho, It would be great if there was an option to hide/show reports/views/forms in mobile app. Kind of like a publish setting, but strictly for mobile app. There are select forms and report that I only use on the mobile app and some html pages that only work on web version... Please consider for future enhancement. Thanks.
Restrict viability by profile
Hi Zoho, It would be great if you can add an option to restrict report visibility by profile and not just by users and roles.
Allow deep relationships in reports, lookup-display fields
Consider the following: I have four tables, A, B, C, D A has two columns: A.ID (primary key), A.BID (foreign key from B) B has two columns: B.ID (primary key), B.CID (foreign key from C) C has two columns: C.ID (primary key), C.DID (foreign key from D) D has one column: D.ID (primary key) I wish to create a report that displays all columns of the records where the relationship A->B->C->D exists (assume, for the purposes of this discussion, that B, C, and D also have columns that contain useful data
Payment Gateways
Hi Zoho, Is there any plan on integrating Creator with more payment gateways (aside for Paypal)? Stripe would be a good start. Zoho invoice has these 8 options https://www.zoho.com/invoice/addons/. Please advise, Thanks.
No CA certificate imports for private HTTPS
No where in the Deluge reference documentation can you find mention of certificates for transport layer security (TLS). Apparently this is because there is no getUrl() support for importing a CA certificate which means that you may only use an https:// scheme with an HTTPS server which has paid a yearly subscription for a certificate from a CA recognized by Zoho.
