I have a role with deletion privileges on certain forms, yet I cannot delete massively ALL THE TIME. That is, sometimes I get the option, and sometimes I don't.

The 'Quick Learning Series' - Post 3 : Tip - Ensure business continuity. Keep your employees posted on urgent and important announcements.
When you run a business, you have to be equipped to encounter sudden emergencies. What is more important is to keep your staff posted on these important updates.

What's more interesting is that you can have location-specific sticky announcements so that your staff from other locations do not push the panic button! Take a look at this short video !

Form Data Export/Import - Tabular Data
The option of being able to create Tabular Data within a form is great. However, when you create a form with Tabular Data, there should be way of importing and more importantly exporting that data from the form (into XL, CSV etc). At present, data could be entered as tabular but there is no way of exporting that information out. Thanks! Cloud-Workforce.com
Use Zoho People to Manage Volunteers?
I'm working with an organization that utilizes more than 750 volunteers a year. We are looking for a system to manage their hours and any donations they make. It seems that Zoho may be able to do that, but I'm not sure where to start - particularly in the area of recording volunteer hours. Ultimately, we would like volunteers to be able to access an account that shows them how many hours they've worked. We would also like to print "id cards" with a QR code or something that would allow people to

Comprehensive Pay Report
From what I understand, only web timer entries can be pushed to the Attendance Module, not manually entered time logs. This makes the Attendance module useless as my company tracks what people works on (projects & jobs) not just what hours you came in each day. And having people enter data in two places is a waste of their time. I would hope the functionality of time logs into the Attendance module will be implemented in the near future. That being said, is there a report that will show a combination
