When using a a "Details Page" for each record in a tabular view, the default text is set to "View Details". I can change that in the CSS, but it is very complicated to create the right text per page. Some pages I would like it to say "View Details", but others I would like it to say "Edit Details" or "Update".

It would be nice to have a way to very simply change the default display text locally to a DataPage.

Alternatively, if you would allow the Details Page to be linked to an HTML "Specific Data Field" that would do the trick as well...but currently I can only link it to DB fields.

At the moment, when trying to include Inline Add on the Results Page of a Tabular Report, if the fields in the report are not 'editable', you cannot enter in a value for that field in Inline Add.

It would be nice to be able to have access to all fields in Inline Add, but limit what fields can be edited for existing records Inline Edit.

For example, in my tabular report, I only want 1 out of the 10 fields to be editable. However, I also want to be able to add a new record from Inline Add and be able to put a value for each field in that new record. As it is now, you cannot do this.

Currently, to make use of the Templates feature to generate PDFs from your datasource values, you need to include a Generate PDF link on a datapage. The user will click on this link to generate a PDF using the linked Template.

It would be nice if we could choose to Generate PDF after the user clicks Update/Submit. If it was included in the Destination Options - 'Destination after record update/insert', we could make it so after the user updates the data and clicks Update, the PDF is automatically generated and downloaded.

If included in a Details Datapage, for instance, the user will have to update the values, then click Update, which in turn refreshes the page. Then the user needs to scroll again to find the Generate PDF link. It is a little cumbersome.

Caspio is a good all-round platform for building all sorts of applications, but so many uses often mean better tools in one area of operation and worse in another. When something is good for everything, it's usually not good at anything. In my opinion, this is precisely the problem of Caspio.

We create analytical applications, create financial reports and advanced sales analytics in large retail chains.

After purchasing a Caspio subscription, it turned out that we cannot create similar applications that we create with MS Excel, PowerBI or Dynamix CRM. Caspio report generators lack tools enabling more advanced and professional data visualization that we want to present in the application we have created.

At Caspio We cannot easily show the sales results in the table, dividing them into upward and downward trends, negative numbers, and positive values. For example, you cannot use the palette of available colors to make the report display top values in green, negative values in red, and so on.
There is no way of creating a comparative report where you want to compare this year's sales period with, for example, last year's by defining profit and loss in percent with the appropriate color of the cell with the data.

There are no basic tools to define what a graph or a report should look like, Of course, you can compensate a bit by creating color schemes for individual applications, but you cannot define the color in which the highest values, the lowest values, the values given in percentages, or negative values.

The matter becomes even more complicated if you need to create a mixed report and the graph itself is not a sufficient tool to visualize retail data, for example you have a lot of sales departments to compare in the same report ..

Such visualization tools have long been a common standard in other systems, Caspio still has very poor tools for creating more advanced economic or analytical reports. where you need to ensure not only the functionality, but also the readability of the application being created, especially since it is to be adapted to the possibility of mobile publishing.

more advanced and adapted to modern equations with other platforms. Defining the colors of the data depending on whether they are the highest values, the lowest, negative, or positive values is not a miracle solution, but a standard so that you can create more realistic applications that reflect the result given by the customer, and there is nothing strange in it. I am disappointed that Caspio does not have such basic tools and the range of available reports is very modest for such a platform.
