getUrl() does not support ports other than 80
The Deluge reference page for getUrl() says: "By default, it supports websites running in port 80 and 443." I was dumbfounded when told by Zoho support that it ONLY supports these ports! Apparently the standard URL format of http://host:port/path is not supported at all. It uses port 80 for the http:// scheme and port 443 for the https:// scheme and does NOT do the right thing to allow us to specify the actual port the HTTP server is running on. This obvious shortcoming rules out using Creator
add user in customer portal
hello, in my zcreator i have a form "CONTACT". Do you have a function to add a CONTACT directly in the customer portal without pass by admin ? thanks you
add criteria for view filter dropdown
View(report) - filter -> auto filter I need to limit the dropdown values of an automatic filter based on a field. The drop down does not list out all of the values if there are too many. Any idea? thanks
New Report Type: Map
I'd like a to create a map of addresses in my database. I think QuickBase has this feature. ZC needs to catchup. http://quickbase.intuit.com/quickbase-blog/an-introduction-to-intuit-quickbase-address-fields-and-map-reports
Request: On forms, for "URL" and "File Upload" fields, add a way to OPEN from the form
On forms, for "URL" fields, and "File Upload" fields, please add a way to OPEN the link or file while on the form. For files, next to "[change]", add "[open]". For URLs, near the field, add "[open]". ...or any other method deemed best for the UI. Thank you!
Lookup field performance is very slow when parent table has thousands of rows
We have a parent form with 39,000 rows. Our child form references the parent form via a lookup field. We need to display context info from parent so we use a dropdown and display "Parent.Name - Parent.Age - Parent.City". We never want to change the parent of a child. We set the parent when creating the child by passing ?Parent_ID=xxxxxxx at the end of the URL when opening the child form to create a new child. The child form takes 30+ seconds to load and is getting worse since all of the 39,000
Form type icons in Form builder
Hi, Could you put the type of field that each field is into the form builder on the right hand side of each field (just put the icon if you want) so I can see at a glance what type of field I am looking at? It would be really helpful when I am making join tables
Mobile Device - Why No "Send To PDF" and/or Email? Option?
Sure would be great in my application for the user to be able to have PDF/Email as an option (in addition to the physical printer option) that they will rarely have in their 95% mobile world. I do not see this as an option in iOS or Android, smartphones or tablets.
Collapse all Namespaces on Function screen
Big applications can have dozens or hundreds of functions. Grouping them by Namespace is good but it can still take lots of scrolling to find a function. Can a single button be added just above the Default Namespace to collapse/expand all Namespace sections.
Request: Allow a "comment" for each field added to a Form
Please consider allowing the admin to store a "comment" for each field added to a form. Would be on the "field properties" tab and seen only by the developer/admin.
Is There A Version Variable? And Related Wants ...
Is there not a way to incorporate a "version" into the application so that in the future as users needing help that they can refer to a "version" number found by some means? (perhaps coded into report footers as an option) I'd also like to incorporate this "system variable" into various custom report templates so the user knows what version they are on and can compare to the version that might be on the marketplace. Granted, I have not yet delved into application distribution via Zoho Marketplace
Fetch record, subform to subform.
I have a Form with a Subform . I do a fetch data from another subform (subform where I want to get the information is a subform blank, no way). When I make the fetch fetch only becomes the first entry in the first inning and need: First entry - first entry Second entry Second entry ... etc Would like to know if there are other ways to do this THAN A FETCH. THANK YOU! if (input.Cotizador_Multiple != null) { dat = Cotizador_Multiple [ID == input.Cotizador_Multiple]; for each i in R
Scipt on Duplication
It would great if you could have "On Duplicate" as an option for form actions. The duplicate feature is great but there are some fields we would like cleared.
My 2 cents
Spend more time/text describing how the "lookup" feature and process works. You sort of discuss this implementation but I feel you do not go into enough depth regarding it's use and when and when not to use bi-directional selection. Other developers coming from other backgrounds can run into trouble as they make "assumptions" about what is going on and how to "build the relationship", that will only "sort of work". In regards to designing a truly efficient [relational] database, the relationship
Record Summary Template invoked via Custom Action
Hello I am trying to use a sendmail function in a custom action to send out a record summary as a PDF using a record summary template. This currently isn't possible, and we are forced to send out a pdf of the view, which is not very aesthetically pleasing. This functionality would really help out my company
Sort Options For Lookup Field Types
I'd like to also request an option to sort lookup fields by various typical means. For example. In my app loads are entered in order and the carriers LoadID always increments larger, along with the record level ID. When a user needs to add a child record, they must select a valid load. It would be nice if the "most recent" additions were at the top because these are the most likely to have additional child records added. (I'm also displaying other fields in the lookup that make record recognition
Duplicate Forms and Offer Custom Form Templates
As you may know, while it's easy to duplicate views, the same is not true for forms. The best to to duplicate a form is to view its "form definition with action", copy the code, create a new blank form, and then paste-in that code. This is a bit of a runaround but works. I tried to explain this to a client and they came away more confused. It would be nice to have an option to duplicate forms. The same client also asked if I could provide some custom from templates. Alas, this is not possible. It
Device Magic for Front-end Offline
Does anyone out there use Device Magic for an offline form solution using creator as the back-end? I am in desperate need of an offline solution for my field evaluators and have found this possible solution. However, I would like to know if it is working for anyone in the creator community before I make the commitment in development time and money. Also, as a paying customer, I would like to know if Zoho has there own solution in the works. I would hate to spend needless time and money on a third
[Feature Request] Please can we get more than 1MB file size limit on the image upload field
My clients are almost exclusively using mobile, and all pictures taken on newer cell phones will always be larger than 1MB. I know the file upload field is higher, but images are easier to deal with when printing and viewing record summaries.
Idea: A system-maintained table (or export) with all fields and their properties (for all forms in the app)
A special table, maintained automatically by the system, that has 1 row per field, for every form in that app. The columns would be all the items in the "Field Properties" tab. The admin can view this table, and filter it (such as to show the fields for only 1 form) but of course cannot edit. This data is of course already stored somewhere in the system, so it would be a matter of surfacing it in a nice list for analysis by the admin. Or at minimum: offer an on-demand EXPORT of this info -since
Application/Theme Color Customization
I would really like to see the ability to customize the colors used in the application themes again. I'm not sure why this feature was removed, but I'd like to see it added back if possible.
Imagine the power of Zoho Creator integration with App Inventor for Android
Hi Zoholics, Does anyone know if the Zoho API is App Inventor friendly. Regardless, some kind of integration between Zoho Creator and App Inventor would be an excellent thing. Don't you agree?
Contact info extractor for Outlook
Currently there is a contact info extractor that works with google chrome. Can you PLEASE make this work for outlook as well. It would be so helpful. Right now when I add a lead/contact from an outlook email, I still have to manually type in all the other information except the email address. I would prefer to have this work for both Outlook for Mac and PC as I use both but will settle for just PC.
Zoho Creator Marketplace not responding?
I am not able to choose a category, or Popular or Most Recent options in the Zoho Creator Marketplace - nothing happens - it simply stays on the Main Page (Featured Applications), and Search doesn't appear to work either. I've tried IE, Chrome and Firefox.
Request: Report "Subtitle" and "Intro", that show on the Live view, and optionally when printed.
Please consider adding to the definition of a report an optional "Subtitle" and optional "Summary". Or similar. Subtitle: A text field. On the report, both in the Live view and when printed, shows near the report title. Summary: A rich textarea field. It shows on the report, both in the Live view and when printed, near or below the Subtitle. Could be used to clarify to the Live user (or the printed reader) the purpose of the report or to give some instructions, etc. Rich text is best so can
Customer Portal
Hi, Customer portal is great and we use for our external application. Unfortunately the application is used by users who I require to have different permissions.

In report criteria and custom filters: Support for <fieldname> on the *right* side of the criteria
Customer Support confirmed today that *only static values* are available on the right side of the criteria - whether via the UI or if edited directly in the report Definition. ie, <fieldname> <comparator> <static value> . So please add support for <fieldname> <comparator> <fieldname> . Examples: Record_Owner != Added_User Project_Manager == Project_Owner 2015_Sales < 2014_Sales We are aware that as a workaround, for each query needed, can have a dedicated field, filled via formula or deluge, that
Please consider letting Bulk Edit trigger "On Success" scripts
As we understand, Bulk Edit currently does not trigger any scripting. Please consider letting it trigger OnEdit.OnSuccess scripts since these do not involve any form actions, etc. Currently, when critical items are performed via onEdit.OnSuccess scripting, bulk edit is of no value and even dangerous (even to the admin), since they won't be performed after the bulk edit. We notice that record import DOES trigger OnAdd.OnSuccess scripts - this is great. So hopefully the same is reasonable for bulk
Request: "Edit Report Fields" - to open Form with only the fields shown on that Report
The business need is for another way to offer a simpler form (subset of fields) for some tasks. (Hide/show, stateless forms, and Spreadsheet/Grid view are existing solutions, and they are very useful, yet each has it's issues.) The idea would be: That the admin, per Report, can configure whether the Edit link offers: the normal "Edit" a simpler "Edit Report Fields" (or similar label) - that offers a form that auto-hides all other fields both Benefits: User convenience: since the Report shows
Associate completed form with registered candidate
Can zoho creator associate the submitted form data with an already registered user?
On Dashboard show last modified date, record count
Can additional information be provided on the application dashboard with the list of all the forms? The ability to see the last modified date and the user who made the change will help in maintaining the application. Showing the record count for each form will help in buying the correct subscription. Being able to sort/filter by these fields will be beneficial.
Ask Receipt custom function
When we send an email from Zoho CRM, we need Ask Receipt to default to yes. The request has been made for an enhancement, and Zoho basically says it isn't going to happen. I'm wondering if it's possible to write a custom function to enable this functionality and, if so, if anyone has done it - or would be willing to do it?
New ZC Variables for the iCAL Feed
I have tested various popular services that support ical subscriptions by url: Google Calendar, ZOHO Calendar, Famundo, PHP iCalendar, and k5n Webcalendar. Google, ZOHO and PHP iCalendar adjust the displayed events based on a selected timezone. Famundo and Webcalendar take the timezone from the ical's feed. All services use the original Creator view name for naming the calendar. For greater compatibility, I'm proposing two new ZC variables for the construction of the ical's url. ZC_timezone overrides
Support Specified UTC Timezones for iCal Feeds
ref: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/new-zc-variables-for-the-ical-feed ref: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/support-named-calendars-for-ical-feeds Please add a new user-definable variable for constructing an ical url that enables the definition of a calendar's timezone. Currently an ical's feed value for X-WR-TIMEZONE = UTC. I understand this offers the possibility of portability for the ical feed, but I have found a number of ical parsing calendars that fail to
Request: Optional user-friendly limiter for length of content in multi-line fields?
Since the actual *size of content* of multi-line fields has an affect on the limits for the entire form, please consider offering, as an option, a user-friendly way to enforce a maximum via the UI. For most multi-line fields, we don't need 64K, and for form and DB management would like to limit to something much smaller, in a user-friendly way. For example: Admin defines a multi-line field, and accepts option to "Limit Size" and sets it as 2,000 characters. In the UI, while the user is entering their

Customer Portal access
Currently I'd like to create a customer portal with specific access to certain forms and views for one customer and another one would have the ability to view other different forms and views than the first customer, but some forms and views they would share.

My alternative is to have another app created that has a seperate customer portal but would need to be able to apply

Feature Request: fetch record and select field to display within formula field
Hello, I have a table containing cities, one per line (e.g. 'Chennai'). This table has a column refering the country that the city belongs to (e.g. 'India'). I would like to create a formula field that displays 'Chennai, India', to be used in dropdown list. The reason I want to display the country along the city is because it exists two cities having same name but in different countries. Unfortunately, referring the 'country' column in the formula field will not give 'India' but the ID of 'India'
