Receive SMS messages in Zoho Creator
I have noticed about 6 to 8 months ago zoho support mentioned an update so zoho creator and crm to allow for receiving sms text messages. Did the functionality to receive sms text messages into Zoho Creator or Zoho CRM ever get completed? How close is this update? Will this work will all of the currently supported sms providers? Anything we should be aware of with it? Should we continue to wait for zoho or should we be trying to use a work around? Thank Matthew
Combined Reports / Reporting Across Forms
How does one report across forms? My specific use case is that I have two forms. One captures attendance (hours worked) for employees while the second captures work performed. Both forms have user field and date field, which ought to be sufficient for cross-reporting. There seems to be no way to do this in Creator, and only half-baked ways to do it in Analytics. There is documentation that this feature used to be available in Creator as "Combined Reports" (link), but I see no way to achieve this
New Info/Alert Limitation
The new restriction "For performance reasons, the collective response from the info and alert statements in a function is now restricted to 500 KB. When this limit is exceeded, the response will be truncated and appended with: The info message has been truncated because its size exceeded 500 KB" Is ridiculous. Zoho, you cannot keep making arbitrary changes for "performance" reasons. Sort out your backend! You never consider your customers and their customers. Most end users do not know what 500kb
Uploaded pdf file column in a report: View instead of Download on click
Is there a way where on click the pdf files uploaded can be just viewed in a seperate browser tab? Right now users are forced to download and then open. The pdf links show up in the column. Also, is there a way to conveniently set a filename for display? Some uploaded files have huge names etc and look ugly in the reports. Or are we stuck with whatever filenames are set when the file was uploaded?

Scan Barcode metadata and image source
I love the barcode scan feature for mobile devices. Please add the following or if they are available please point me to how I may access the following: Many times it is important to know what type of barcode is being interpreted. Is there a way to determine what type of barcode is being scanned. There are times when the data present in a Code 39 barcode has a different purpose or context than the same data present in a PDF417 barcode. Especially where 2D barcodes are concerned such as Data Matrix

Filter report from button/panel on Page
Hi, I would like to filter contents of a Report based on a function via a button or panel on the page where the report is embedded. This means there is a button or panel with a function, and if for example the panel has Archived, only archived records will show in the report below the panel. Today I am using a Page Open Action on the Panel, which means I create a separate page with the filtered report. I guess this is not most effective? Thank you!

Onboarding of users via Stage
Hi, I read somewhere that it is possible to onboard users through Stage, and they can upgrade into Production. Have I understood correctly? I have a customer which I placed in Stage due to a temporary problem in publish to production, now this is fixed, and would like to just upgrade them direct into production from Stage rather than creating a separate account and migrating the registers manually. I can see that the option to upgrade is there, but just hoping that this will take the customer into

Full name not username
Hi I am hoping there is a better solution than the one listed on these forums for getting the logged in users full name ie Bill Smith, rather than bsmith3. I see the old solution was to creat another database an manually enter in the information... hopefully some improvement has been made in the last 5 years.

Zoho creator workflow Issue
Hi There, I am trying to create a workflow to one of my inspection forms. The flow should be as follows; The user creates a form and send it to the approver Approver checks it and signs the form (or reject it) From what I can see once the form is submitted to the approver, the approver can't sign on the actual form. Is this something you can incorporate to the form? Or once the form is approved, is there a log to show who signed the form and on what date? Regards, Lou
Lookup field auto populates single-line field. Then recurring lookup.
Hi. I have a series of eight forms that I need to be linked by a single entry in order for my app to work. Any clear and simple help would be much appreciated.

Disabling/Enabling SubForm Fields based on Login User
We have a Form with a Subform attached that is used to add comments. In the subform - there are 3 fields (date, email, comment) of which the first 2 are auto-populated (login user id and current date). We need to be able to disable fields where the email isn't the loginuserid - so that people can't edit other's comments. From what i've read on the forums - the only information is 8 years old and suggests that the disable option on Subforms isn't possible. Given it's 2020 - is there a solution to

Easiest Zoho Creator Sync Scripts and Methods
Hi, I would like to build a POS App using Zoho Creator. I would also like that all Customer, Product and Inventory Details be synched everytime the POS App is loaded or when a user presses a Synch / Refresh Button.

Why doesn't zoho have a simple sync wizard to synch Zoho CRM data to Zoho creator? q2. What is the simplest Diluge script i can use to sync
Unique ID
Hi, Is it possible to have Creator automatically generate a unique ID for each entry? I cannot find a way to auto-increment and in the expense tracker I am building I cannot think of any other way to guarantee that each entry is unique - for later finding. An alternative would be to use a Unix style datestamp, but I have had no luck scripting that either :) Any suggestions welcome Owen

Problem with multiple 'for each' statements in workflow
New to ZC and almost a novice at coding. I'm mostly getting along fine learning Deluge through the documentation and googling, but I'm completely stuck on this one. At line 22 I get the error 'Variable Actual_Work_Time does not exist in Activity_log'. I've tried every way I can think of to specify that 'Actual_Work_Time' is in the form Projects (not the subform Activity_log) but it won't accept any. Forms/fields (only for as far as the problematic line): Projects (fields Total_Project_Time_Actual)
