Can you create a video for deploying each of your ready made apps to websites like Weebly and Wix?
As a non technical person, i have a hard time deploying some of your instant apps that have login redirection. It would be helpful if you had a video for each instant app that you have, it would make everyone's life easier.
1 voteThank you for the feedback. Both videos are now available on Caspio’s youtube channel:

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.

Caspio SQL Query
Would be nice if there was an SQL query for Caspio whereby you can write SQL statements to manipulate data in your Caspio database. In addition, be able to schedule jobs to run SQL query. Furthermore, it would also be great to trigger queries based on insert or update or records. See attached.

Radar or Spider Charts
I'd like to have a chart similar to Excel's Radar Chart so that people could look at and compare results for survey data, customer satisfaction... across a few subjects where the rating is the same. E.g., a Likert scale question on customer satisfaction for subjects such as value, cost, quality... they could then see the percent of respondents who said "satisfied" for 5 or 6 questions/subjects simultaneously.

Ability to disable WYSIWYG editor in 'HTML Datapages'
In HTML datapages there is no way to disable the WYSIWYG editor which is a real pain for front-end developers as we have no way to enter the HTML we want with our the WYSIWYG messing with the HTML.
Currently the only work around is to open the datapage and copy the HTML from the source and past it back to the source view of the WYSIWYG editor to make any changes.
Alternatively we need to stick to basic stuff that the WYSIWYG doesn't mess up which kind of defeats the purpose of being able to host HTML pages in…

Multiple Select - Insert Record
Allow a multi-select box when inserting records into a table on a dataform. Currently we have to use javascript to achieve this, however its very tedious.
Example of how it works: A user is registering for an event. They may want to select multiple sessions to attend at the event.... Session A, Session B and Session C are available.
The user could select Session A and Session C using a multi-select box, complete the registration, and then Submit the form, which will then insert the values into the tables.
Its important to know that this is a common occurrence and…

Sequence generator needed for key data items.
Using Autonumber is not desirable to use as a key-field in a table as a related field to another.
First, Caspio allows the user to re-number, although with warnings, it could still corrupt your database with orphan links left behind. Also you can only create a join with another like "autonumber" (can't use a number field).Suggest a fix for above, or create a new sequence generator similar to what Oracle has.

Use a WYSIWYG Html editor in Html box, head and footer
Use a wysiwyg editor for the html box, header and footer, notification email and also for changing the style sheet. These days most online website, app and email production sites have WYSIWYG editor capabilities, like in WIX or in the email marketing program constant contact. It would make it much faster to put together really great looking pages

Scheduled Tasks to update instead of just append or replace
Please Include an update feature when creating an automated task. Right now we can only update or append. That means, either completely replace all current data with the new file.
For example. When importing new prices, I would like to just import the prices changes for current inventory and not have to replace everything in the file. I cannot do this with either replace or append. Caspio is very powerful and user friendly however without this simple change, it makes so many tasks much more complicated. I know that this is already a feature request for standard imports however for…

Dropdown menus for related fields in child tables
We do some data entry directly into tables. For child tables, I just discovered the checkmark to "Enforce Referential Integrity", in order to ensure that related data gets connected. But it still requires that you know, or look up, the exact spelling, etc. of the data you want to put in that field. If, when Referential Integrity is Enforced, the child table displayed a dropdown menu instead of a text box, data entry would be faster and less error prone.
2 votesIn relationship dialog window, you can pick a field in the “Value for display in Related field” dropdown to enable the lookup dropdown in child tables.
