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.

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.

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…

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

Make the chart function more like Excel
The chart functionality could be very powerful, but as it stands it's very limiting. Below are some things that would vastly improve it:
Stacked bar charts
Multiple Axes
Multiple series types (mixed bar/line)
Cumulative charts
Pareto charts

Render Datapages as PDF
Caspio needs to include a PDF output option to bring it up to spped with other applications in this area.
As an Destination option, Caspio should provide a flag that allows a Datapage to display in PDF.
This can be applied with a simple html to pdf conversion tool.Example.
Create a HTML Datapage which receives parameters and styled as a document.
Choose this data page as the destination page (Tick for PDF) and the page/pdf should Open/Display as pdf when called by the browser.127 votesThank you again for this idea. This feature is now available in Performance and higher plans. For other plans, please contact our Support Team for options to add the feature to your accounts.

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.

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…

Freeze first column in a table
I'd like to be able to "freeze" the first column in a table, so that as I scroll across the table, I can always see the first column (which indicates the name of the record).
Sometimes we have a lot of editing to do, and it's easiest to do it in the table. And sometimes, we want to copy the same info into a field for several records. But since we can't see the "Names" of the records (that are in the first column) as we scroll across, we can't accurately past info into the fields. If we could freeze…
