Allowing electronic signing on forms
Hi folks, I have developed some online forms and I was wondering whether I can now have clients sign these online on a tablet without having to print them out and then scanning back in for emailing? Thanks.
Ways to Hide the Passing of Variables by URL Strings
I was recently working with a client on a rather complex search form for his ZC database. Rather than create multiple views with filters, the client wanted a single form that would create these views on the fly. This is mostly possible with functionality-based URL strings, but there issues with this as detailed below are no provisions to make "group-by" views there are limitations to the Boolean operations in the url strings: for example with view criteria you can do much more the strings can become
Could you please code a scale on every axis of a radar/web plot?
Hello there, I checked with other developer and curiously enough, seems there is no way to see a scale on the axis of a radar/web plot. See example below: Maybe I am wrong, but this is quite odd. What is the use of a plot without a reference scale? Could anyone suggest a solution on this? Thank you D
Function to Look-up User Name or Email
I recently imported a bunch of records from one table to another and lost all the zoho.loginuser names. Yea, I know...should have been more careful. What I'd like is a function that can lookup Zoho's SSO usernames based on zoho.loginuserid or vice versa. This would allow me to run a script to update all the unique usernames, since these are essentially the keys for each record that determine who can view them. Cheers, John Whitney
Employee Management system announcement link on homepage
in the employee management template, it seems when i create an announcement, that it appears on the home page but not as a link just as a listing. that you physically have to go to the announcement form to see it. How can I create a hyperlink to that view?
Bug with capitalisation of variable names in new builder
See screenshot.
Can't set up lookup criteria using Deluge script
I've now discovered I can access Lookup fields (they appear as Forms - e.g. the Publication lookup shows up in the dropdown box with all the fields within the Publication form). Nevertheless, I prefer using Deluge script. This GUI version slows me down.
API Edit Multiline via XML RPC
I'm trying to edit a multi-line field via the XML-RPC API. When I ADD a record, the format is: <field Name='myfield> <value> the value which can be multiline </value> </field> However, in the EDIT spec, I have to format it like this: <field name = 'myfield' value='some value'></field> This format, where the value is a parameter of the field node, and not a separate node, doesn't seem to support multi-line. Any suggestions on how to work around this problem?
Displaying subform results as sets
Hi, My suggestions would be to display subform results by a set number of result eg 1-10, or 1-20, etc. This will allow users to see a small subset of the subform results and increase page load times. I have many instances where I have 100+ subform rows and raised an issue about slow performance at https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/form-load-is-very-slow#2266000004566169 Zoho, can you please implement the feature to improve page load times? Thanks
Report: chart & pivot type
I want to show both a line chart & the table chart of the same data. Rather than create 2 reports, my suggestion would be to include a chart type that shows both. I've used other reporting tools that have that feature. It would be a nice add on.
Meta reports
Hi, In larger applications with many forms and views with different permissions, it is difficult to track which report has which permissions, and who is able to view what. It would be great if admins were able to run a report which would show all meta information, like all forms in the application, and views associated with those forms, as well as views permissions (add, edit, delete...), who has access to forms and view and other useful meta information. Thanks, Lyubko
Password Input Field
Suggestion: Password Input Field Purpose: A standard password field Motivation: There are instances where a form can be public, but locked by a password. Also, this would allow custom authentication schemes built inside ZC. As an alternative, have a Zoho account sign-in box right on the form. People are simply used to typing a password that appears obfuscated as asterisks. Example: A self-serve membership application. The user types in his email for a user name and then obfuscated password. Implementation:
Security Groups in Deluge
Security groups are a great way to partition what users can and cannot do with forms and views. However, the granularity stops there. There are no deluge commands to reference security groups for specific form actions and controls. For example, I have a work-order form process that requires one field to only be editable by admins. If I hide the field in the form, nobody can access it. So the hidden aspect must be a function of who's in my admin group. What this means is that I have to recreate the
Multiple developers
This suggestion is a follow up from the post https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/select-multiple-developers#2266000004395125 Zoho currently has a constraint where you can only set 1 developer per application. However, you can set multiple users as developers via the Manager User screen. Can Zoho please support multiple developers per application in future? As zoho creator applications grow in size & complexity, projects may require more than 1 developer.
Scrolling in Sections
When rearranging sections and components in a very long list, it would be much easier if Creator scrolled up or down when an item is dragged beyond the boundaries of the Sections window.
More buttons on regular forms
When a form has lots of field I break it into multiple stateless forms with Prev & Next buttons to move from form to form using the openurl statement. Each form reads & writes the data to a Master form. This does work but is complicated. There has been discussions about being able to create buttons on regular forms similar to what can be done with stateless forms. This would give us the ability to use show/hide to mimic several pages. When the user clicks on Next then all the fields from page one
Requirement of Developer Edition (User Edition) in Zoho Accounts.
Dear Zoho Support Team & Developer Community As a Developer, I want to explore my idea in front of you; It is required that Zoho should be start a Developer (user)edition for the Developers, By that way it will be a good support and inspiration for the Developers and also Zoho will be more popular and affordable by the Developers/Enterprises. This same trick is also used by the SalesForce Corp, and today you will be seen that where they are, they have a large community of Developers, and also they
Refer Fields box should show the current form
Hey Zoho, it bugs me slightly that the Refer Fields box shows the most 'alphabetically superior' form rather than the current form. Could you change this? (See screenshot below)
Facebook Connect Only Login

Help Needed
I am looking at using zoho for my small business. It is just me. I do about 15-20 invoices a month and have about 50-100 or so clients. If I just use the free account, how fast will I eat up that space and size restrictions? I don't know much about all of that. I don't want to end up having to pay $25/mnth when there are cheaper options out there so I don't want to start using zoho if I quickly run out of space.
User parameters
Good day, I'm waiting with impatience when you will make system table (or Form), where developer can see all users with access to application, and developer can create fields in this form (like in other forms in zoho) to assocoate different parameters with users (and also lookups to existance forms). And very important is to have ability to use this extra user parameters in criteria fields, deluge scripts and so on. So, for example, if I have add "group" field to this Users parameters table, I can
Sign-up for Free Page
When a new user is directed to "sign-up for free", the sign-up experience for the user should not also be used to advertise zoho email and the zoho newsletter. I just did a test run with a new app and this is the feedback I got: they found it confusing why they would be making a new email address and what this newsletter is all about. Otherwise the sign-up experience within the application context is good. Cheers, John Whitney
Add new records inline in GridView
One of my clients wants to request the functionality in the below screenshot. Use Case My runs a softball fan site (TheInsideCurve.com). He wants to crowd-source the data entry so the fans can put in the schedules for leagues rather than him having to do it himself. Ideally, the fans would be able to bulk add several matches at the same time. Grid View seemed like the best way to achieve this but unfortunately you cannot add rows 'inline' in Grid View. It would be great if Zoho would consider this
Enhancement Request: Conditional field labels.
I propose an enhancement which would allow developers to conditionally set field labels on forms. Example: if (input.Country=="United States") { displayname = "What state do you live in?" } else { //Canada displayname = "What province do you live in?" }Thanks, Jeff
Multiple Select List select/remove all
Hi, I have a Multiple Select List with the option to Search and Auto-Complete. Can you please enable options that allow a user to select all or remove all from the list? There are instances where a user may wish to select all the values from the list but at the moment has to click them all individually.
Audit Trail / Change Log
Admins need to be able to create a report on a table/form that lists all changes by date, user, and value. There are some ways of kludging this into an application, but this should be a native function supported by the Creator back-end.
Multi-view Export to Excel
It would be handy to have an option to export multiple views to a single Excel file with tabs for each view. Currently multiple Excel files must be manually merged to get this. Cheers, John Whitney
Mobile Sign-in frame clipped
Some mobile browsers (Dolphin is my favorite) give a very good approximation of the desktop experience with Zoho Creator (if they are set to Desktop mode). I have noticed, though, that the Sign In frame is usually clipped (see picture below). The Sign In still works, but one has to know that it is the submit button, AND one's finger has to be nimble in order to "click" the little bit of submit button showing. Might this be something that Zoho could fix by moving the check boxes to the left and putting
Form Validation Mirroring
I often have to copy and paste validation code for a form's "on add" to the "on edit" section. Maybe place a checkbox in the "on add" validation section to mirror code to the "on edit" validation page. Cheers, John Whitney

Stock Inventory Integration with Paypal Online Sales
I am a very new user of Zoho. I searched the forums / market Place and did not find reference to my needs. We will be selling fishing lures on line of varying size / color / uses. We'd like to somehow integrate a stock inventory management app with paypal to reflect how many items have been sold, and how many remain in stock of each variety. We'd also like to reflect "Out of Stock" on individual lures in the customer view when there are no more of a selected item in stock. Perhaps I missed the
Query User's Group
If a user signs-in, then there should be a way to query the user's group affiliation. We can query a user's email, sign-in name, and even IP address, but not group. This would be a nice way to display messages on html pages for certain groups in the share module, or display view data based on groups. if (zohologinusergroup == "Building_23") { // display a message } Cheers, John Whitney
Typo in the press release notification
Dear zCreator Team, There seems to be a tiny typo in the zCreator press release notification. The word 'co-operation' has been inadvertently mis-spelt. I have enclosed the PR notification along with this note for your kind reference. ---- Deepak Vasudevan http://www.linkedin.com/in/lavanyadeepak
User built in functions
It would be nice if there were build in user functions that could Let you know which groups a user belongs to What the user email is if passed a user login (not just current user) Get a list of all users Get a list of all groups Get all the groups a user is assigned to when passed in the user login Get all the users assigned to a group when passed a group name Please add user functions to Zoho. Is it part of the roadmap for future Zoho releases?
Task Assignment Emails Include Hyperlink
Is there any way to include the hyperlink to the task page in the notification email the assigned person receives?
Mount zoho doucments as virtual file in the local native filesystem and access using ms office or openoffice
Hi, I prefer Zoho because, Zoho has really nice formatting features, a lot more than google docs. Thanks for such a wonderful product. I was wondering if the developers were interested in allowing users to use MS Office to edit files when they like and use the online editor otherwise. Right now what any body would do is download the file, then edit it, and then upload it again, only to find that some other user already edited the file in the mean time. What I think would be cooler and more useful is,

Built-in Function to get Private URL Link
Related to this post: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/permalink-for-private-app-and-sign-in ZC provides a few built-in functions to get aspects of application urls. It would be vary helpful to also have one to get the url key to share a private view or form rather than having to go to live mode and copy an permalink. One clear advantage for this would be application portability. Cheers, John Whitney ZOHO Creator Developer
Email from Another
I need email confirmations to appear to come from someone else rather than me. I thought I might be able to accomplish this by adding a secondary email address to my account, but I don't think I can choose this email in the from spot. When I manually enter the email address in the from spot, the form complains upon clicking save that the mail must have zoho.adminuserid in either the from or to spot. I understand that this behavior is desirable from a anti-spam position, but is there some way to
Last Modified Date and Version# for HTML Views
Rather than typing it manually, it would be neat to have built-in variables for HTML views that display the last modified date and version number. Cheers, John Whitney ZOHO Creator Developer
