Union Views/Queries
It would be valuable to be able to use a union query to combine multiple queries into a single result. For example, suppose your database has two unrelated tables where one stores customer data and another stores data about suppliers – and both tables have a contact information field. You’d like to see the contact information from both tables in one view. We cannot do this today in Capsio like we can in SQL Server or even MS Access. To do this, we would need to create a view for each table to retrieve the contact information, and then combine…

Move Up / Move Down option in Tables datasheet view
There needs to be a Move Up / Move Down option in Tables datasheet view. I created a lookup table called in from a Form field multiple choice. The only sort options are alphabetical. Tech support said thats my only option except delete all the table datasheet entries and redo them in the order you want. Not ideal if I have 50 entries and/or add to it occasionally. With each new option I have to rebuild the table? An Insert Here or Move Up/Down option would be fantastic here.

Download link on [TABLES> NEW >TABLE DESIGN tab] to download the table design into a csv or other file.
Currently you have a link on the Datasheet tab to download the table to a file. It would be nice and efficient for a DOWNLOAD link on [Tables>New>TABLE DESIGN tab]
to download the TABLE DESIGN into a XLS, CSV or other file.4 votes -
Ability to put apps into a development mode such that you can test without deploying
I have installed the Contact Log ready-made app to investigate how the logging panel works.
However in order to do so, and this would apply in a lot of cases - not just the ready-made apps but your own app, you need to deploy it to a web server in order to test it since it uses passed parameters between the various view panels.
This makes it difficult for non-technical people to develop such apps.
A 'development' mode interface where the views do not need to be deployed in order to test them out would be handy especially since preview…3 votes -
Raise the table limit on view to 25
I use lots of "dictionary" tables for lookups on drop downs these occur in multiple column in reports so need to be included as a different alias for each said column. Starts to add up pretty quick and I've already met the 16 table limit.

Record Locking
Not all the time we work with people editing only his own profile info. In our case, we have a lot of users who might access to the same records without any notice that somebody else open it before. This causes information being lost. For example, User A opens a record first and then User B does. As user A only editted the date of birth leaving the middle name empty, as he did not intend to deal with the middle name. Now user B (who accessed the record while it was being editted by User A), only wants to…

Ability for App users to import data into tables
Ability to create a datapage for App users to import data into tables without using a scheduled task or having to log into caspio. App users can add data manually; why not have the ability for admin level users to import directly into the tables?

Option for printing Table design in Caspio console
For having printout and system documentation , a table structure is mandatory. I wonder what such a simple option is not in the system,
The user should be able to print the table design/structure simply, and directly from Caspio , not by exporting to Excel first.4 votes -
Ability to colour code data pages, tables, views for a quick reference.
In most cases, large and/or complex applications built on multiple data pages, views and tables etc. While building such applications also creates multitude of waste such as redundant data pages, tables, views etc.
In my opinion It would be good to have a function to colour code data pages, views, tables etc. to have a quick reference point on what is okay and not okay to delete. What data pages, views, tables are redundant in the process an what aren't!

allow views on views, so the data source design can effectively become a bit more "object-oriented" and more maintainable
and also allow "full SQL" definition of views - set unions, set differences etc.; plus creation of combination / concatenation fields in views; would be great in itself but also provide solutions to some of the front end limitations like drop downs can't be sorted on some other field etc.

Filter a View by comparing two fields like a calculation.
For example. I would like to be able to create a view by comparing two separate fields.
- Field1 Equal to Field2...
- Field1, Greater Than or Equal to Field2..
- [Sale_Price] - [Cost] < "500"
- [LastImportDate] = Max of [LastImportDate]
Examples, COST vs SALE PRICE. Create a filter that allows me to show

allow copy/paste data from Excel into Caspio tables
I move data around a lot between Excel spreadsheets with copy/paste. I'd like to put some of these spreadsheets online with Caspio, but the inability to copy/paste from Excel to a Caspio table is a serious obstacle.

Add SQL capability when creating a new View.
Add SQL capability when creating a new View. I believe this would be very useful to generate aggregate totals like:"Max(), Sum(), Exists" and concatenation of values. This view should also be available for scheduled downloads .

Create a JSON output feed from views or tables
What would really make Caspio powerful is to have a way to create a JSON and/or XML view of data that could be accessed dynamically by web applications. I want more flexibility in how I present data, and I'm willing to develop that myself, but I could still use Caspio as a back end to enter and manage and store data, without having to build that infrastructure myself every time.

Date format in table
It is a good feature if the Date format can be changed in the table level. Currently, the date values are stored in the tables in the format MM/DD/YYYY.

Need to access password field in triggered action to filter if blank/not blank
You make it impossible for us to determine if a customer activates his/her registration. Cannot filter on unblank password fields in triggered actions. Can't set a yes/no hidden field in password reset datapage (see other suggestion just added). Need these fields opened up!
