How to show records from Zoho Reports in a paging table/grid?
I am trying to use Zoho Creator (ZC) to allow a user to select a range of criteria and return a list of records. These records, however, are not stored in my app but in Zoho Reports (ZR). There could be a million or more rows in the ZR view. I want to show the selected records in a grid so the user can select one of them and show the record in a read-only form. I have already written the read-only form as a Page. I can already read the data using the ZR API but I'm struggling how to show the records

Change "This report is not accessible." page
Hi all, I have a public form that, on edit, will send an email notification. This all works fine. When I click submit, though, I get sent to the "This report is not accessible" page. I don't want the user to see the reports, but I also don't want them to see this page. How can I direct them to a page that just says "Data Entry Successful"? Thanks in advance! Levi
Form where users can edit their own records
I have several users - not zoho creator users - who each have individual records. I would like to give them access to edit their own data.

Retaining variables after form submission
Is there a way to retain variable values after a form has been submitted? I have an evaluation form where a supervisor evaluates various people. I need them to be able to select a subordinate from a drop down, complete the evaluation, submit it, and then select another subordinate. The subordinate list is a lookup that is filtered, and is dependent on a previous field for the filtering. It works ow, but you need to re-authenticate each time to see the list of subordinates. Thanks!
Are Note (plaintext) fields supported in subForms?
I do not see the Notes field as an option for a subForm field. I was able to add it to the form field definition in code without error but it ignores the new field of type plaintext. I could not find this listed in the subForm known issues and limitations paper, is this documented? Also here is a forum entry from support saying there is no restriction on subForm fields. So there is some confusion. thanks, tt

Logic problem
I have three fields: Login - which uses a single line field that will take a value and evaluate it using the if condition; Association Selected - which will be populated, based on the Login field if statement; and Candidate - that will filter a database list from another form and only show those records that meet the value of Association Selected. The first half works (using a login value to set the value of Association Selected), and the second half works if I type in the Association name in Association
Can't Delete a Field from a Form
I'm trying to delete a couple of fields from a form, but when I try to delete the field, then I get a message saying that "This field is referred in the following places. Please remove them and then delete this field." and it gives a list of Views. However, the field is not included in any of the Views listed. The only connection I can see is that the Views are all based on the Form that contains the field I would like to delete. Can anyone suggest how I can get these fields deleted from the form?

Subform Shows No Records [ Resolved ]
My main for, "Lots", has a subform, "Residents". I created them both from an Excel file at the same time. I later decided that I wanted "Residents" to be a subform. Getting things to link up properly was difficult. At first, the subform showed no records. Using Deluge, I can fix this by editing each of the Lots records. This is a painstaking process. I have more data I want to bring in to make additional subforms. How can i do this so the linking works right away?
Best data storage / method to use with Zoho Creator
We have a large amount of data currently stored in Excel sheets, we would like to reference this data in Creator and we're looking for the best service/method to do this. Our stored data is fairly large (can be in excess of 100s columns and rows per sheet), split across multiple data-sets (sheets). We believe it is not suitable for storage within Creator because each data-set has a unique number of rows and columns that could not be easily laid out into a SubForm etc So instead, we are thinking

limited to 50 published forms/reports
I started building a custom CRM for a new client using a subscription at Enterprise level, but just learned that it's limited to only 50 published forms/reports (but there's nothing in the subscription pages that will tell you so) I've built similar apps for other clients in the past, without this limitation, so not sure when that change was made, but pretty crazy. I guess Creator is now being oriented for use by babysitters and softball teams, rather than businesses. Checked with customer support
Null displays on pages in phone app
I am having a problem where a page I have that display correctly through browsers on both desktops and phones, only displays as (null) through either the Creator app or the Creator Portal app. I'm not sure what is causing the problem because other pages seem to display without a problem in the app. I've tested it by taking the page down to it's bare bones with just the work 'Test' and it still displays as (null) in the app. The only thing I can think is that it has something to do with the location

Option to rename Print -> Print as Record Summary
I think it would be a nice feature to be able to set a different name for print dropdown in reports. So far we have "print as Record Summary" but it would be nice to our end users to have "Print Invoice" or "Print confirmation" instead. Easier to remember what it is for and to distinguish from "Print as Summary". Next thing would be to allow to hide "Print as Summary" as I think it is rarely used.

Time in auto-generated e-mail
I have an application I built in Zoho Creator that sends out automated e-mails. These e-mails include a date/time field. In my form, the dates/times are correct but sometimes (not always), the e-mails being generated are off by 3 hours. I am wondering if it's some type of time zone setting. I have already verified that the time zone set in my application settings are correct. Any suggestions on what to check next?
