Don't share data with other users
Hi guys, I'm evaluating Zoho Creator and trying to understand if it fits my use case. Let's assume that I have my Entity: Customer (id, name, address) And this application users: Steve Jobs (Role: user) Bill Gates (Role: user) Elon Musk (Role: admin) I want that Jobs and Gates only see customers added by themselves while Musk can see all customers (with the detail of who added the customer).

Converting Month Numeric Value to Month Name
Is there a way to convert the number returned by getmonth() from the numeric value to the month name? I would think something like a built-in function or CASE OF statement but I don't see either of those as available. I could do it with a really long series of if/then statements but there has to be an easier way. Thanks! Parker Byron Network Administrator Kansas City Regional Homes, Inc.

Subform field delimiter in reports
Hello. In the previous version of Creator, when I was designing a report with fields from a subform, I was able to specify a different delimiter for each field (with exception of the first one). Now in C5 I cannot find that functionality (it allows me to specify only one general delimiter, not one for each field). Is there a way to accomplish this in C5? And if the answer is "no", is there a way to go back to the previous Creator version? Thanks in advance.

When fetching the data from the form sorted by that field it's sorting it like it's text instead of date. for example: ListMe = (Loan_Valuations[ID != null].Assign_Valuation_to_Date sort by Assign_Valuation_to_Date).getall(); will get me 01-Apr-2017,01-Apr-2017,01-Apr-2017,01-Apr-2017,01-Apr-2017,01-Jan-2017,01-Jan-2017,01-Jan-2018,01-Jan-2018,01-Jul-2017,01-Jul-2017,01-Oct-2017,01-Oct-2017,01-Oct-2017,01-Oct-2017,01-Oct-2017,30-Dec-2017,30-Dec-2017,30-Jun-2017,30-Jun-2017,31-Dec-2017,31-Dec-2017

How to build recurring payment in Check register
I’m building a checkbook register and I’m lost on how to build in recurring payments. Form Add Transaction has the fields required (recurring =yes, Start date, etc). What I thought would work is to use the schedule features add a new record at a scheduled date. That seems straightforward enough, but what I can’t figure out is how to properly identify the records with recurring info, then using that record(s) to create a new record(s) with the recurring data. If anyone has any ideas, I would love

"Map" function in Zoho creator / Zoho Workbook help
Hello, I'm new to Zoho creator and I'm just going through the workbook. I'm currently in the "Add Business Logic" section of the workbook and trying out "Change delivery option based on number of products selected".

Importing data from Access with auto numbers
Hello, I want to migrate an Access application into Zoho. My existing application has multiple tables linked on ID columns which are of the type "auto number" (using Zoho terms). Can I import those tables and keep the data in those columns BUT THEN have Zoho start incrementing the values going forward? Example: existing student ID's ranging from 1-10000. After my import, can Zoho start adding records with incremented Student IDs? Thanks in advance!
Sending MMS text to avoid concatenation issues
Greetings, When sending text messages longer than 160 characters you may run into situations where certain carriers (Sprint and Verizon in particular) are not able to receive the text as one message, rather it breaks it up into multiple texts, and often out of order. One solution to get around this issue is to send the message as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) instead of SMS (Short Message Service). See link for more details on the concatenate issue and possible work arounds - https://www.smallbusinesstech.net/concatenated-sms/.
