Hi I have created a form to track repaired equipment. How to add a "Add New" button next to Submit and Reset, which could re-load the same data fields already in the form "n" number on times until the technician is done repairing all the machines assigned per machines per jobsite. Any ideas will be appreciated. Ray

Is there any way to create image-buttons with on-click events?
I would like to create some image buttons that have on-click events inside the form not at the bottom as Stateless forms. I think this feature could enhance usability. Thanks, Fidel Martin

Month Issues with Search Queries
When I search a date and time field using one of the many Month options, I get different errors. When searching "This Month", the last day of the month doesn't show. When searching "Last Month" the last day of that month doesn't show either. When searching "Current and Previous Month" the search doesn't work at all and the selection defaults back to "Is". When searching "Current and Next Month" it does include the last day of the current month, but again excludes the last day of the next month. This

Email Records Still Not Servicing Rich Text
I was under the impression that the rich text multiline field would support html data sent via email per these instructions: https://help.creator.zoho.com/Email-Data.html The RTE does not support the ZC_Content object, nor does the standard multiline filed retain the html of an email subject. Please update the community on this topic. Thanks, John M. Whitney
Calling up the entry form from a URL
I have embedded by form view in my website and it works great, but I want to be able to call up the smaller window that you use to enter/edit a record. Specifically, on the form view there is a link for "Add" at the top, and a link for "edit" on each row, and these open a smaller window in front. Is there any way I can call these smaller windows up directly from my web page or from a URL? I would like to be able to embed a link in an email to directly open the "Add record" dialog. TIA Ross
Access my Creator data via RSS, JSON or build an API?
Hi all. Sorry for the NOOB question here... (I'm the sales/marketing guy wearing too many hats) Our app is getting a fair bit of interest among a critical group of customers. Unfortunately, I'm only smart enough to "share" filtered and unfiltered RSS and JSON. Some of our customers have sophisticated needs and wonder if there is a managed API (keys, etc) they can take advantage of. Kind of like what companies like Mashery would offer... If it's built into Zoho Creator I'd sure love to know. That
Criteria for restricting display by multiple UK postcodes
I'm having a problem setting up some multiple postcode based views, and can't seem to find any advice for how to make it work. The issue is when I'd like to create a display that shows, for instance, just E, EC and EN postcodes (i.e. E1 2AB, EC3 4CD, EN56 7EF, etc.) However setting "Start With" equal to "E" obviously includes EH and EX postcodes (valid, but not wanted in the selection I'm trying to create.) Trying to exclude these seems the next logical step, however "does not equal" "EH*" doesn't

Not Gettting Zoho Creator API Error Codes
When I use a wrong ticket number on purpose or try to generate another type of error, I don't get an error code in my response from Zoho. Instead, I get a string containing HTML code and an error message. For example, when I use a wrong ticket I get: <html> <head> <style> body { font-size: 14px; font-family: "Verfana"; } div { margin-top:150px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; } </style> </head> <body> <div> An error has occured. It has been reported to Zoho Creator support. We will look
Automatically assign numbers
1. I know to assign the numbers but how to get numbers to change automatically with next new record. I keep getting the same number in field. 2. My [Next] button does not go to next form. It goes to a default page and I have to log in again. I am unfamiliar with writing deluge script. 3. On customer form I want to begin typing in Customer name (say last name) and have dropdown list show up or if name is the only one, have all information show up.
Calendar showing data from 2 tables
I am trying to build a Calendar view that shows data from 2 tables at the same time. I have to related views Users and Projects. I was trying to build a calendar that shows information from view Users, but once you click in one particular entry, it will show all the data from the user and also will show all the projects he is working with. Is something like this possible to be done? Can insert some script code into the calendar view's definition to achieve this?
Problem submitting edited forms linked to by URL
My users have reported and I have confirmed, that when a record in a certain form is accessed by a URL for editing, and the Submit button is pressed, the "Please Wait" message appears and seems to hang. The record is never updated with the edits. Sometimes the URL just leads to a blank white screen, i.e. the editing form does not appear. Other times the editing form appears, but cannot successfully submit. And then, a few times, it will all work as intended -- i.e. edits are made and submitting
Create a function to transfer data from one form to 5 others
First, I apologize if this gets posted twice. When I tried the first time, the post appeared to just disappear. I am new to Zoho Creator, and I love the flexibility of the program. Most of the tutorials have been very useful, but I do not understand the instructions for creating a new function. Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have a web page with 5 tabs on it. Inside each tab is an iFrame containing a zoho creator form. Up above the tabs is a 6th form that has just one input field. I want
Transferring or copying a form from one user to another
What is the fatest way to transfer a form from one user to another?
Understanding email addresses
If I understand it, when one fills in a contact form, an email is sent to the person that filled in the form and one also sent to the email address that was supplied to Zoho when the account was established. Is there a way to instead send the data input into that form to a different email address instead? I.E. - What I would like to do is have 3 contact forms - 1 for each of 3 departments - and when filled in by a customer, have the contents of the form sent to a different persons email address
lookup advanced display and related fields
I have a lookup field for states. It is set to store just the abbreviation (e.g., "FL"). Using the advanced display options, it displays both the abbreviation and the full name (e.g., "FL - Florida"). I access the data through a json feed and would like a list of just the state abbreviations. Two impediments: 1. The default view of the "states" field does not display what is stored ("FL") and instead shows the advanced display ("FL - Florida") which I only wanted to show in the form itself. 2.
I need to move data from one form to another
Sorry in advance as I am new to creator and are finding my feet I am currently trying to move data ( the current record only ) from one form to another, based on a check box being checked on the form or the press of a button on the form I am transferring from. Is there a way to do this via the GUI or does it need to be done purely via scripting. I await your reply Regards Paul H
How to do lookup with criteria
I have two forms, persons, and services. On services, I'd like to be able to choose a person. However, I don't think combo box will work because over time this will have a lot of people in the list. I can't figure out how to get a popup to work - I keep getting http 500 errors whenever I select that as an option for the lookup. Thanks, Keith
lookup field link to summary view - navigation problem
Regarding this feature: "A lookup field can be shown as a link in the view. The link will take to the summary view page of the related form." These links open the summary view in a new page instead of a modal dialog like the other "view" links. This behaviour is causing a navigation problem when applied to an embedded view in an HTML view because there is no way to navigate directly back to the HTML view.
How do you perform a case-insensitive query?
I have a form with a name field. When validating the name I need to check if the name already exists in the data base. The check must be case insensitive. Is there a way to do this without using a FOR EACH loop? I tried the following, but it generates an error. It doesn't like the part of the code that is underlined below. Does anyone know the proper syntax, or how to do a case-insensitive query? //check if name already exists recCnt = count(NAME_FORM[NAME.toUpperCase() == input.NAME.toUpperCase()]);
Critical Error: [ t_734872000000029031_PIDX] Exception occured while inserting rows Failed to update data.
I have a very similar error to this thread : My app uses a series of stateless forms to update a master form (pretty large but most field lengths have been optimised for character length) and if I attempt to edit the main form it throws this error. My error reads: [ t_734872000000029031_PIDX] Exception occured while inserting rows Failed to update data. 2 examples: FORM = 'Main' I open the 'Main' view and select EDIT and manually change a look-up field.

Revoking API Keys for PUBLIC api.creator.zoho.com Apps?
In a previous thread it was made clear there is a distinction between how Private API access is handled. Simply share the app with one of your users and if they abuse their access it's simple enough to revoke access. Is there any such control if the app is made "public"? Are there any other ways to protect the access to the data? Perhaps as a Google App or something else? I'm trying to avoid paying Mashery a princely sum to manage access, keys, throttling, etc. I'm after a less API management solution

List Manipulation
Here's a puzzler: Let's say a list has a maximum number of 10 elements. If a form is loaded, and a user defines two elements (at index 0 and 1) out of the maximum 10, how can we script to add arbitrary values for the remaining 8 elements? What I was looking for was something like mylistsize=input.MY_LIST.size() ; for index = (9 - mylistsize) to 9 { MY_LIST.add("XXX"); } To add 8 more arbitrary elements to the list to bring it to 10 elements. Am I totally missing something obvious? John M. Whitney

Alt. row color not working
For some reason the custom themes and the standard themes are not working. From reading other forum posts it seems like the custom themes don't work due to the https, which is fine. However, the standard themes don't show entirely either. For example, I want the View to show alternating row colors, which several other databases I've seen in Zoho Creator have. It shows this option in the Contemporary theme. However, when I apply the contemporary theme, it does not alternate row colors with bottom

Custom action openurl for stateless form fails if date field is empty
Good evening, I have a stateless form that students use to submit registrations for classes and accommodation. On click, the data is inserted into a temporary registration form.

This opens the student registration in order to allow admin to perform certain tasks before it is accepted (and loaded into other permanent forms before being deleted from
