API access blocked
I am trying to get employee attendance entries via Zoho People API. Sometimes it works properly, but sometimes I get this error for few minutes.

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

Add Job for different Owner than yourself
I am trying to enable users to create Jobs in the name of other users not just Asignees but actual Owners so that they will be able to change the status of the Job. Usually if a user is an Assignee for a Job he can not change the status of that Job unless he is the one creating it (the Owner too). Our manager has to add a lot of Jobs for employees and each of the employees must have the capability to change the status. Is there any way we can accomplish this?

Semantics
I would like to propose a change to the incorrect descriptions of some of the features of Zoho People. There is a lot of confusion regarding the following terms: 1. Weightage - this would appear to be just the wrong word. It should be Weighting. 2. Domain - in the modern world this means the web domain. This should surely be Category. 3. Designation - Again this is the wrong word. It should be Position. It will be interesting if anyone at Zoho will grasp the nettle here and try to correct these

Attendance webhook
I'm trying to trigger a webhook for a check-in/check-out event so that POST data gets sent to another app whenever a user checks in or checks out. I have created the webhook based on the Attendance form. The url is: http://www.posttestserver.com?json=<JSON>&dir=zoho This server captures the content of all post data for testing. Nothing is captured. Also, the "Failed' and "Successful" list is empty. Any ideas?
Leave requests with balance <= 0 days
When I try to apply for leave with 0-day balance in a particular type, I get an message telling me "Sorry, you do not have sufficient balance in the applied leave period." Is it possible to allow employees to request leave even though their balance in a particular category is 0. Our company policy allows employees to have a negative balance up to 5 days for Paid Time Off with manager approval. I don't want to adjust "initial balance" or "customize entitlement" because the employee has to earn back

Can I dinamically hide and show fields based on action?
I have the following situation: 1) An employee fills up a Leave request. 2) The direct manager gets a notification email, he opens the record and he has a checkbox or button that gives an initial approval. 3) After the direct manager does this action the leave request is sent for approval to the HR. Is there any way that I can make the checkbox/the button visible only after the Leave request was saved? Or even better, is there any way that I can create a double layer approval process? Thank you.

User that has a role that allows him to view/edit every Job can not see them in the Jobs Tab (table)
I have an user that has the Chief and Director Role with the following permissions for the Jobs: All Data for every action (view, edit etc). But when he tries to access the Jobs section (tab) from the Time Tracker menu he can not see any other jobs except those that were assigned by him/assigned to him. How can I fix this? It seems like there are no other User Access Control options except the Form/Field controls. Thanks, Adrian
Delete Time Log From Calendar View
Hi! Please help to add a [Delete] button for us to delete the time log in Calendar View. So far we only can delete the time log in List View.
Time Tracker > Monthly Log View > Freeze Columns
I would like to suggest to freeze the [Project Name] and [Job Name] columns for "Monthly Log" view. Because when user scroll to right side (After 7th of the month), they cannot see the [Project Name] and [Job Name] columns, so must keep scrolling right and left in order to make sure fill in the correct job.
I cannot check out to Zoho People.
When I tried to check out today, there's prompt that inhibits me to check out: To add entry in Attendance, log time for any of your jobs
