Max characters of multi line field?
What is the number of max characters of a multi line field? I have a form which is used to receive the email data. But if the email body is too long, it seems Creator cannot receive the email. I assume the word count exceeds the max characters of the multi-line field "ZC_Content". If this is the reason, how could we have the Creator application receive and process long emails? Could anyone help answer this question please? Thanks a lot!
Lookup Field In View at Wrong Position
I am just starting with Zoho. Bear with me. Also know that I chose Zoho to avoid scripting. After touring this forum, I have to wonder if that's really possible. Anyway, I placed a lookup field on one form relating it to another form/field. It is positioned precisely where I want it in the "Editor." In the form "View," however, it has moved to the end/bottom of the form. Why?
Margin Calculator Help
Hello Everyone, I come here in frustration and fully aware of my lack of adequate knowledge, hoping that someone out there can point me in the right direction. I'm toying with the project of creating a margin calculator app for our company that allows our reps to see our product costs and calculate what selling price would be based on what margin they wish to sell at. The catch is that I would like for the costs to be reflective of the value associated with them from a spreadsheet (Ex: widget A=
How to fetch a Product tax value (or taxes) in CRM?

Cannot access restricted records once I set "Criteria" options?
How do I display restricted records set aside by conditions I set manually in the criteria options? I have an app which is kind of a production schedule. I basically need to hide a job once its completed which I managed to do with the "criteria" option. However, when I need to refer back to the completed jobs, I can't seem to access any of them. I have set it up to in the filter options but on clicking it there still shows me a blank page. Any suggestions? FYI:- The Completed jobs is part of a dropdown
24-hour difference in time
I have a function built that converts time into decimal. The user inputs the time (e.g. 2:30) and it converts it a decimal equivalent: float totalTime(string timeIN, string timeOUT) { time = ((input.timeOUT.toTime("hh:mm") - input.timeIN.toTime("hh:mm")) / 60000 / 60).round(2); return time; } The problem is that it doesn't support 24-hour time (e.g. 14:30). Any times from 1:00 to 12:59 works but after that I get null. Is there an easy way to get this to work?

Set Criteria Based on Related Fields in Lookup Field
Hi, I am new to Zoho creator, and am hitting a wall with my know how, and was wondering if someone might be able to help me. I have a form called Graphics which has a LOOKUP FIELD called Scene in a Form also called Scene. In the view called 'Graphics_Worklist_Shooting_Order" that I show this lookup field, I have it display a RELATED field, called DATE from the Form Scene. What I am trying to do is set a criteria on Graphics_Worklist_Shooting_Order where I only show dates from today into the future.
XML RPC API edit record requires all mandatory fields
We are using the ZohoCreator XML RPC API to update records in our application. Normally we need to update only single fields in existing records. In the past it was possible to specify in the XML only those fields, that we want to update, as long as the other mandatory fields already have a value. Since this week the XML RPC API seems to require the values of ALL mandatory fields, even if the values of those fields don't change. Otherwise the update fails and an error "Enter a value for xxx" is returned.

API, Error checking and check boxes
I cannot seem to get form validation to work for checkboxes in the website using the API. If run the form inside Zoho Creator, it runs my error checking and alert boxes.

I don't want to use a radio button because I have fields where I will need to
Creator API and close window
Hi everyone - I've been working on this for a while, and can't seem to get Creator to do what I want. I am using the Creator API to submit data. I am able to get a new page to open using javascript, in a new window. But, in the original window, the data submission is shown. I want to be able to close that window so the users don't see it. I've tried a bunch of things, including window.close in "on success" in Zoho itself, to no avail. Here is the code: <body> <form name="foodorder" method="post"

Any way to get the "view record" popup window on a long view to pop up to the top of the form instead of the middle
I am very unskilled when it comes to using any kind of program language so I mostly use ZoHo as simply as possible. The one problem I have that is real annoying is that when I create a veiw that has a lot of data in it so it becomes very long and embed it in my website the popup window when you mouse over "view record" appeares half way down the view so anyone looking at the website would not even know it was there. How can I fix this? Thanks. Yehoshua
Suggestion: Add Import DS to Create Screen
Working with clients, I had an issue explaining how to import a .ds file. They were looking for an import button on this page: https://creator.zoho.com/create While the link is only available in the help section here: https://help.creator.zoho.com/By-writing-Deluge-Script.html I'm suggesting that you add a new button to the https://creator.zoho.com/create for importing a .ds file locally stored on the user's PC.

Creating a rich text report or email with fetch data
Hi. I have 2 forms. 1 is a job input form and another a job update form. I want to create a report or email with information from both of these forms. The report will have a specific record data.

Ideal would be if I can have a schedualed email that goes out with data as the job update form is updated with the name of whom needs to get this email. thanks
Users creating their own account and login
I am trying to build an app for about 1500 users. I start with a private stateless form embedded in a website. Because the form is private the user is prompted to enter their account info (Zoho, Google, Yahoo or Facebook). See the first screen shot below. For the first time user I then want to use the share statement to share the appropriate sections of the application. But I don't know where to place the share statement. All that happens now is a message saying the user does not have access to the

Staying logged in for the day - is it possible?
In a therapeutic setting we have many activities for individuals to choose from. We monitor their activity in 10-15 minute intervals. I would like to do so through a single form throughout the day that I can use the dropdowns to choose a list of a dozen or so activities. The problem is I want to tab over to 8 or 9 different forms throughout the day and mark these down using my tablet pc rather than a paper and ink clipboard. I think what I am looking for is a way for the form data to be retained
Creating a view with text fields
How do I display regular text fields in a view? What I'm trying to do is create a survey, and then have it generate a report based on how they answer the questions. So I have if statements depending on how they respond I change the value of the text fields. Problem is, I can't seem to get these fields into the view so that I can generate the report.

Application to manage magazine subscribers?
Hello, I am in need of a Creator application to manage subscribers to a magazine. The magazine has 1 and 2 year subscription options for both USA and International, so 4 possible subscription types.
