Grid views for mobile?
Hi, my client wants to build a mobile friendly attendance tracker app for his soccer club. His vision is for his coaches to be able to access the attendance tracker on their iPhones. I've been playing around with this and have created a basic attendance tracker with the bare minimum of required info. Grid view seemed like the most sensible way to display the tracker because coaches will have 5-10 students per class and this would allow them to quickly tick people off. However, when I try to access

Or alternately, can you add on add success and edit success actions for subforms to make it consistent with the forms?

Dropdown Numeric Fields, Workaround?
After reviewing the user guide and a few searches, it seems that the dropdown field can only be defined as a string. I need to offer users a limited number of options, i.e. 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 (even better choices in a dropdown menu would be 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc. but creator doesn't seem to be able to separate labels and values in a dropdown) I need to also generate reports using these numbers such as adding up the values for the records. Are there any simple workarounds you've used to use numeric

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?

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.

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.

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.
