URL Structure

  1. The format of the URL to access Zoho Creator application is given below. Accessing this url will render the creator application's home page.
    http://<base_url>/<account_owner_name>/<app_link_name>,
    where

    1. <base_url> denotes the base url of your Creator account. For instance, if your account belongs to US DC, it will be creatorapp.zoho.com. Read this page to know your base url.

    2. <account_owner_name> is the owner's username of the Creator account in which the application exists. It can be customized under Organization > Preferences > Organization namespace.

    3. <app_link_name> is the link name of the application.

      Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management

  2. The application url followed by #Form: and form link name displays the Zoho Creator form.
    Example:  http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/#Form:Employee
  3. The application url followed by /form-perma/ and form link name will display the form alone without displaying top header and other application components. This url will be used to link the form from external websites.
    Example:  http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/form-perma/Employee
  4. The application url followed by /form-embed/ and form link name will display the form alone without displaying top header and other application components. This url will be used to embed the form in external websites using iframe.
    Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/form-embed/Employee
  5. The application url followed by #Report: and report link name displays the Zoho Creator report.
    Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/#Report:Employee_report

  6. The application url followed by /report-perma/ and report link name will display the report alone without displaying top header and other application components. This url will be used to link the report from external websites.
    Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/report-perma/Employee_report

  7. The application url followed by /report-embed/ and report link name will display the report. This url is used for embedding reports in external websites.
    Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/report-embed/Employee_report

  8. The urls with following pattern will generate the data of the report in the specified export format. http://creatorapp.zoho.com/<account_user_name>/<app_link_name>/<export_type>/<report_link_name>
    where,
    <export_type> value is PDF, HTML, CSV, JSON etc.
    Example:
    The url,
    http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employeemanagement/html/Employee_report will generate data in html format.
    The url, http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/pdf/Employee_report will download data in pdf format.

  9. The application url followed by #Page: and page link name displays the Zoho Creator page.
    Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/#Page:Employee_Dashboard

  10. The application url followed by /page-perma/ and page link name will display the page alone without displaying top header and other application components. This url will be used to link the page from external websites.
    Example: http://creatorapp.zoho.com/zylkerorg/employee-management/page-perma/Employee_Dashboard
