Please make it possible to use a View as the data source for mapping to a fillable PDF in addition to being able to use a Table
It would be helpful to be able to use data from more than one table on a form. For example, I am creating a certificate of completion. I need to pull the name of the individual from one table and the name and date of the course from another table.

Allow custom formatting of tabular reports, particularly coulumn width
Currently, columns in tabular reports are formatted automatically. The styles options only allow fixing column width for all colums equally. There should be a possibilty to define column width individually per column
7 votesColumn widths can now be specified in DataPages.

add GLOBAL headers, footers and other sections
Right now, we have to add navigation menus, and header and footer code, to every data page, individually. When changes are made, we have to go through each of these data pages to apply changes.
When an application is as large as ours, this becomes too difficult and time-consuming to maintain, and makes the app prone to errors and inconsistencies.
Additionally, we would like to be able to have these GLOBAL areas controlled via authentication and other criteria. This way, we could achieve different navigation menus for different user types.
We find that this features is definitely a must for…
7 votesThis can be accomplished through an App Parameter of Text 64K that you include in your DataPage header or footer.

Email Scheduler
Would be great to have a datapage option that is an email scheduler...meaning the user would enter future emails into this datapage with a projected send date so the email will send automatically when that date/time comes up. This would enable the user to schedule reminder emails, task emails & other important emails that pull data from different tables and put it together for easy viewing. In a sense this would be an email generator datapage with date/time send capabilities. In my world of concerts, this would be very effective to remind bands, promoters, buyers and so on of things…
7 votesWith Tasks feature, you can set up reminder emails and more. More information can be found at https://howto.caspio.com/tasks/

Posibility to have a "cascading dropdown" field in combination with a "autocomplete" field
This optuion is very usefull if you have a customer table and you like to search on a customers lastname by typing the information. If the customer lastname exist in the datatable, the rest of the customer information like address, zipcode, place, etc pops-up automaticly in the separate cascading dropdown fields. This functionality is now only posible with a combination of a dropdown field and a cascading dropdown field, and if there are many customers in your datatable this will generate a very long list on your screen.
6 votesThank you for the idea. This feature is underway in the upcoming release.

Date Rollup to include Rollup by DATE (charts & tables)
Ideally what we would like to be able to do, and I can't imagine that we are the only ones, is to be able to just select an Any Date (Mon-Sun) Date Rollup instead of just Weekdays (M-F) (SNip.png). Additionally, when our filter is set up to show more than the last 7 days, it would do us no good to have the data from the similar DAYS summed. For example, if it were filtered to show time-stamps within the past 14 days, we would not want to just show 7 days on the X Axis (Monday-Sundayx1) as it is…
6 votesDATE and other new options in Date Rollup are now available in Caspio Bridge 12.0. Thank you again for your idea

Ability to Update Fillable PDF Template
Currently, when you upload a fillable template and map it in the Table, there is no chance for the user to update that template.
It would be a time saver if you can upload a new/modified template and update the existing one, without remapping all the fields again.
6 votesThank you for your valuable input. We're pleased to inform you that the capability to modify existing template files is now a part of our document generation feature. For more information on leveraging this functionality, please consult our how-to article for instructions.

Link cascading drop down fields to fields other than drop down
Allows administrators to 'preset' user preferences - allows for a range of customisation options

CONCATENATE for a calculation field.
It would be great if there was a possibility to use an access style Concentration in a calculation or merge field.
'[@field:a]' & ' some text ' & '[@field:b]' & ' more custom text.
There is a way to do this with stuff but it is a bit more complex.
A little icing on the cake would be to make it more dynamic with if statements or case functions.
Thanks for continuing to create better functionality and for taking our suggestions on improvements.
5 votesThank you for this idea. The feature is now available in 9.4 Release.

Fix tabular datapages that use inline insert drop downs
Tabular datapages that have inline insert sometimes have dropdown menus that use an ID value to identify the lookup record- and shows the 'display value' so it's clear to the user what they're selecting.
The problem is in the recordset of the datapage below, that column will show the - normally hidden- id value and not the display value. This makes the datapages with inline insert look awful and unusable because it's confusing (the user doesn't know what the id numbers are for, they're expecting to see the display values).
This isn't an issue when in Edit mode or in…
5 votesThis feature is now available. Lookup field can now display user-friendly value instead of ID in reports.

Ghost text and/or onscreen help test
Ghost text would be text developers can write in a field when creating a datapage to explain or describe the field for users. The text should be grey/lighter than the regular font and disappear as a user clicks into the cell. Also if the field is left blank the form should not capture the Ghost text.
Additionally developers should have a option of keeping the text in the cell while the user clicks in. For instance a "$" inside an [Annual Income] field could stay in the cell as a user types so they know not to manual type the…

Development Accounts
The Dev Account facility supplied to Certified developers could be really useful however its utility has been spolied but forcing all datapages deployed to have a "Powered By Caspio Development Account" label on them.
I do understand that the intent is that such dpatpages should not be used for any live apps however the Dev Account is limited anyway in terms of sizes etc so this protection is there. What it does do is spoil the look of any apps developed and deployed meaning that we cant use dev accounts for demos.
I think Caspio marketing has gone a bit…4 votesThis can be accommodated on a case by case basis. Please contact our developer relations with your request.
