1. Add Fields for TIME of Day or Hours/Minutes (HH:MM) without having to do a bunch of coding.

   Would like to be able have codes for time of day (singularly) and hours or minutes -- all as separate fields. As it is exists today, one has to use Caspio's calendar function and go through a process to separate fields and use virtual fields. Must this REALLY be so complex to configure one field?

2. Many-to-Many Relationship

   Caspio can only handle a "one-to-one" or a "one-to-many" relationship in a table field. As a result, creating a "many-to-many" relationship requires creating a third table.

   Competing database programs (even those that are less developed than Caspio) allow a table field to easily hold references to multiple other entries in another table -- i.e. a native many-to-many field. (Webflow, Knack, Bubble are other ones I've looked at, and they all had it).

   Increasingly, the world works in a "many-to-many" way. For example...
   - A blog post will have many categories
   - An article may have multiple authors
   - An event may have multiple locations
   - An individual may work for multiple employers

   If someone wanted to create these many-to-many relationships in Caspio, they currently have two options.

   Option 1: create a third table that sits in the middle of the two tables that need to have a many-to-many relationship. Limitations are:
   - Cumbersome and complex to set up and manage
   - Creating the many-to-many relationships during data entry requires establishing a separate entry form away from the main table entry form (since an entry form only applies to one table). This slows and complicates the data entry process.
   - Searching functionality on the many-to-many table requires workarounds. Let's say you have a search datapage for a table. That search datapage cannot refer to the many-to-many table since it will produce duplicates of results. So, you have to build multiple search pages.
   - To display the many-to-many relationship in a list or details datapage, you have to insert it as a iframe list datapage within the embedded list/details datapage. The iframe html formatting is very hard to get to match to the Caspio datapage formatting, so you need to therefore build the entire details page using html blocks.
   
   - If you have a dataset that needs multiple types of many-to-many relationships, the problems above compound in a very significant way.

   Option 2: use Caspio's List datatype. This datatype has some elements of a many-to-many relationship, and has been a lifesaver as otherwise I couldn't have gotten a basic version of my application to work. However it's an incomplete buildout, which Caspio itself noted in the release information 2 years ago. The limitations are:
   - There is no way to bulk replace or update the list fields in the table. The "search and replace" function does not work on this field. Nor do Tasks. So if you have a database with thousands of entries, and need to change a blog tag for example, you need to either:
   a) Go into each entry individually and change it; or b) Convert the datatype into text, do the search and replace, and then convert it back to list. This however is very tricky. When you convert the datatype it deletes any datapage reference, so all those need to be rebuilt. (I suppose you could duplicate the table, convert the list field to text, search and replace, convert back, then trade out the tables and hope nothing got screwed up.) Also, you can't use a comma in the list field, because that's what Caspio uses to recognize the separate elements of the list field. If you have a category called "Cats, Dogs, and Mice" when you convert it to text and back to list, you now have three separate categories: "Cats" "Dogs" "and Mice". Additionally, the search and replace functionality is very tricky, even with text, since it will replace fragments of words within entries. For example if you have "Big Green Building" and "Green Building" as two categories, and you do a global search and replace of "Green Building" only, it will impact both "Big Green Building" and "Green Building" even though you only want it to apply to the latter.
   - The list datatype can't be used in "Tasks" so you can't build a task to do something. For example, if in all the blogs with a tag of "Cats" you also later decide to have it also say "Animals"... again you have to go into each entry and manually add it.
   - In a search and report datapage, it forces you to list all of the list category options in the dropdown or listbox field -- you can't go in and set custom search options if you only want to show a selection of the categories, or order them a certain way. Again this is an issue in case you don't want to show every single option in the list field, in case you are developing some. To get around this you need to separate the search and report datapages using parameters (where the first is a submission form with virtual fields, and the second a report datapage that catches the search entries via parameters). This gets around it but then opens up another list of limitations and headaches.

   Caspio can only handle a "one-to-one" or a "one-to-many" relationship in a table field. As a result, creating a "many-to-many" relationship requires creating a third table.

   Competing database programs (even those that are less developed than Caspio) allow a table field to easily hold references to multiple other entries in another table -- i.e. a native many-to-many field. (Webflow, Knack, Bubble are other ones I've looked at, and they all had it).

   Increasingly, the world works in a "many-to-many" way. For example...
   - A blog post will have many categories
   - An article may have multiple authors
   - An event… more

3. Describe Upload Errors

   I sometimes receive errors while importing data to tables. The errors simply state how many records were imported and how many failed. It would be helpful if the reason for error as well as which records failed were displayed so you can correct the error and upload the records that failed. Attached is an error where 2 records failed with reason "failed to insert row." Knowing which rows is needed.

5. Input validators for fields.

   It would be helpful if in the DataPage Wizard will possible to adjust the Input validator for the Form's fields. Validation by mask, range, etc. Some thing similar to ASP.NET or jQuery input validators.

7. Let the Web Form Wizard expand and contract

   It would be great if the entire Web Form Wizard would scale to fit the size of the user's browser window. I can't see why it shouldn't be able to expand and contract as necessary. I constantly have to scroll to see things, when only a quarter of my browser window is being utilized.

8. Allow importing values into List datatype fields

   Currently, there is no way to bulk upload into this datatype via the Import feature in the bridge, even if the data is formatted right. Such table fields are simply invisible upon import, which makes it cumbersome to convert existing tables built before this feature was rolled out to utilize this leaner option.

9. Give Calendar Report the ability to span a single event over multiple days

   Can we please give the Calendar Report the ability to span a single event over multiple days? For example, if I am hosting an event from April 4th - April 6th, the Calendar will only display either the Start Date or the End Date. The calendar would be much more useful, and much more accurate, if the event was listed through April 4th, 5th and 6th. This would also give a much cleaner picture, and allow businesses a more accurate reporting when it comes to event/meeting dates.

11. Copy/Move Triggered Actions

    the ability to copy or move the Triggered Actions from testing table to live table, since Caspio team advise to run the Triggered Actions on a testing table first and sometimes the Triggered Actions is complicated and there is a possibility to rebuild the Triggered Actions with missing pieces or rule.

12. Layout editor.

    Caspio's layouts don't have much functionality to improve the look and feel for users. An interface whereby field objects can be moved around, such as in a crystal reports environment, would really help.

13. Make it possible to open a PDF instead of saving from a datapage in a website.

    When clicking on a LINK to a PDF, make it possible to OPEN the PDF in the webpage instead of SAVING the file. Most other PDF links open in the browser. Caspio only will allow saving the file.

14. Interactive DataPage Builder

    DataPage customization is currently not very user-friendly, requiring CSS for simple things like element alignment. The learning curve would drop significantly if elements could be dragged around, resized by handles, that sort of thing. Think WordPress.

15. Increase the limitation for records that can be displayed on charts about 1,000 at a time

    Currently the limit is set to display a maximum of 1,000 records at a time. This is a limitation that cannot be surpassed even with custom coding. Allowing for a greater quantity of records would help us as to not have to break up large databases into several charts to summarize data. It gets messy.

    Thanks,

16. Add Telephone Number Authentication and/or Automatic Formatting

    Similar to that done for email, but with separate validations for US and International numbers (and other formats as appropriate). Include choices of 7 or 10 digits and use of parenthesis or dashed for US numbers; similar choices as appropriate for International numbers. Even better, have the Datapage Wizard automatically create boxes for each part of the number (area code, base number, country code) when phone number field is created in a table. PART 2: the ability to concatenate a label with the phone number (as in Home: / Work: / Cell: )

17. Form builder like in MS Access database

    It would be fantastic to have the same type interface for building custom forms and reports as you have when using MS Access. The drag and drop options, customizing format, adding buttons, multimedia, short code and the ability to export out as a PDF while utilizing database fields would make life 100% awesome.

18. Scheduled Tasks to include Exporting an App XML File (APP BACKUP)

    Scheduled backups of our app would be wonderful!!

    Currently we can only use Scheduled Tasks to export Tables and Views.

    This means any new tables you add to your app after your create your Scheduled Task will have to manually be added to your Scheduled Backup. It also means no DATA PAGES are backed up.

    I would use this feature every day.

19. CSS Field per element/ Custom Style on an individual Datapage Element

    I think this would be super simple to implement and totally awesome. You could add a field in the properties for an element that allows us to add a custom class. That way we could add some additional styling via an external style sheet. 1 example is to to simply allow some specific elements to be bold versus other. Conditional CSS would be incredible as well. If you agree, please vote... If not, no worries. Please, please please leave any comments or ideas regarding this.
