Multi-record update form / or a tabular report in which you can have grouping + inline edit
I have an app in which I need to display multiple records for the user on a single page and for that user to be able to edit those records. With only single-record update available, this is currently impossible via an update form. My workaround has been to use a tabular report and grid edit. This is OK (although still needed loads of JS and CSS to get it to display the way I wanted), but the problem comes when you want to display hierarchical data. Although such data can be presented effectively using 'grouping', once you enter grid edit…

style authentications
Please make it easier to separately change the style of an authentications page. At the moment it is weird that setting a style for an HTML page actually only changes the authentications page

To make people able to access directory's through datapages
I know by the time I'm writing this that directory's are still in development. But I think it would be really useful if you were able to access them using selfmade datapages, because now the same issue exist that admin users still need to be able to access the backend caspio account to enable/disable a user.

scatter plot graph = simple map
Please provide a Scatter Graph with the ability to upload a custom background figure. Why? Because Scatter Graph + custom background = map.
This would be a really easy way for you to add basic map capabilities. You can provide some backgrounds for the most common use cases (USA, Europe, et.c) and GIS savvy users can produce a map of anything they like.
You can advertise this as a huge upgrade!6 votes -
clear search
This is more of a bug report then a feature request: give us a proper CLEAR SEARCH button next to or comined with the existing search button.
There really needs to be a "clear search" button available that will clear all the existing search terms (also the ones in dropdown's, not just the ones in text fields), but will not reload the page. In short,5 votes -
Create a feature where you can COPY the SUBMISSION Form Data (formatted Input of fields) over to a REPORT Details page
SUBMISSION Input COPY to REPORT. The idea is that when you have large complex input forms 100s to 1000s of data fields (1023 being the limit) ... which should also be updated for larger tables) that you have to spend days to create/design layout ... that you will ultimately want to use the SAME Layout in a SEARCH/MODIFY REPORT ... the way it is working now, you have to completely recreate the layout from scratch to build the Modifiable report. It would be very useful if there was a way to COPY over the FORMAT details of the INPUT/DETAIL PAGE…

System Parameter - Timestamp
When I submit or update a record and use the System Timestamp paramente in the datapage to track when then action was performed, currently the time is set after the datapage is open.
However, the time between the datapage loading action and the form is actually submitted by the user might be different. It would be useful if this timestamp parameter is set when the form is successfully submitted too.

Format Negative Numbers with Red Font
Caspio needs to modify the Format area where Numbers are formated for each Text field to allow the developers to select a Font color (the default should be RED: #FF0000) for Negative numbers. This is a standard accounting practice. This shouldn't be too hard since the (-) sign is already being associated with the number.
Right now, you have to jump through hoops and then code on every data page (the code being slightly different based on the type of page). The current solution is not documented anywhere. It took me a week and a half on the Forum to…

View PDF saved in Table on Datapage
We need a way to display PDFs that are uploaded into a file field in our tables. The ability to display a PDF that a user uploaded on a page is critical.
There is a similar post that is marked Completed, but there still is no way to show sensitive PDFs that are saved to your Caspio tables. Their 'solution' is to use FileStor, but they tell you that you can only use non-sensitive materials for this.
We are almost in 2023 and I have to ask for this...

Payment processor in Details Report datapage
I suggest to add Payment in Reports details datapage too. That is extremely important! It will save so much time and resources to have eit in REports datapage. Now it is possible to add only in Submission form, which is not useful as details report datapage.
I have a huge list of users and instead of adding the payment in the details page I have to create another dummy table, connect it to my main table, then set 2 triggered actions, then create another submission form datapage and pass 10 parameters just for adding in my submission for the payment…

Add Formatting Setting by Text fields in DataPages - submission form
If you have a Text field in a DataPage - submission form and you to use it for entering an currency, you can't formatting settings. While this field in the table does have the correct DataType.
If you have a form element 'Calculated Value', then is the formatting settings is available.
There is a workaround solution in an JavaScript but you make it quite complicated. I do believe that for something so simple, this must be standard functionality.
For using percentage is this more or less the same issue.

Update the Edit Style page
Trying to edit a Style from the Style tab is horrendous. When editing a Datapage Element, the middle section of the screen is 80% unused whitespace. The section where you select the Element Type is in a scrollable list that shows 3 options out of the 20+ available.
Anyone that has messed with Styles will understand. This thing is so cumbersome that I need to use the plain-text source page, which isn't even a code editor, just a notepad!

Create a simplified way to change the default text of the standard "View Details" function.
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…

Improved searching
When a user is searching for a word within a text field, any word with those characters in order is returned.For example, looking for all references to the word ear, results with "tear" and "earth" are returned, resulting in excess results.
it would be helpful if quotation marks or adding space(s) would help reduce excess results.

Calendar Report
Upon further checking, it seems that downloading your Calendar DataPage is not yet possible using Caspio's Standard Features. What we can do for you is to consult the Professional Services Team to check if this is possible using custom coding.
This, however, may incur a cost.
We strive to enhance Caspio Bridge platform feature sets so please suggest your desired features in our ideabox http://ideabox.caspio.com to communicate with our product team and for others to vote.
Please let us know how you wish to proceed.

Gantt Chart as a Standard Feature
Gantt charts are used in a wide variety of cases and are very popular. It seems Caspio is taking advantage of this, leaving less used and desirable Chart Types as Standard options, and adding the Gantt chart to the premium 'App Extensions' list.
The minimum you need to pay for a Gantt Chart is $750, which I imagine is for the complete bare-bones version. We already pay enough every month for your services, I believe a Gantt Chart in the Standard selection of chart types is more than manageable.
Even if you were to leave the bare-bones stuff as standard,…
