  1. triggered action comments

    Triggered action logic can get quite long and complex. To make it easier to understand when another developer looks at it or I return a few weeks later it really needs a way of adding comments. At the moment I put comments next to sections using a text box disconnected from the build.

    This is not ideal as it needs to be manually moved around as you add extra sections before that location.

    Please add a way to comment on the code. Just a comment block that can be added into the logic that doesn't do anything would work.

  3. 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…

  4. Allow a combination of fields to be a composite key

    In some cases we want a combination of values to be unique. A sample scenario is to ensure that there is only one record per facility per year. This can be achieved if the combination of facility and year are designated as key and hence they have to be unique. This is a valid RDBMS concept and it will be great if Caspio implements it.

  5. Can we add SQL to the table formula field for cross table calculations?

    Now that we have a formula field which is great for in table calculations can we take the logic step and include SQL commands or soem form of macro that would allow cross table calculations to be stored in table.

    For example at present we can SUM a range of records from any table or view using the calculations field, but the performance is slow i'd say. But to be able to do the same in table, would make a significant improvement to performance and functionality.

    Hi,

    This feature is already available in your account. To search for the data in a specific column, click on any cell in that column and select “Current column” in “Search range” drop down to search data for currently selected column.

    Thanks,
    Support Team

  7. In a View, criteria does not seem to allow the comparision of two records in the same row

    In the View setup, under the "Field Properties" window there is an option to create criteria using "and" or "or" conditions.

    My requirement is to compare two field values in the same record. For example:
    Field 1 : DueAmount
    Field 2: Paid    Amount
    My criteria is DueAmount > PaidAmount

    Currently it seems that I can only do :
    Due_amount > " " Where " " could be a value (e.g. 600)

    This is badly needed to add more data flexibility to views

  8. Would it be possible to have the option to make a formula field in a table a unique ID?

    I love the new Caspio Bridge 9.4 feature where one can have formula fields in tables, but here's something that would make it even better: the ability to make it a unique ID if at all possible

  9. Ratio Calculation in Pivot Tables

    Pivot Tables should have the ability to divide two aggregations rather than dividing each individual record and then using a SUM function, which gives the wrong result.

  10. Enable GUID creation natively in tables

    Have table autonumbers support GUID/UUID format natively, rather than doing this through a form submission. This protects parameter-based applications from malicious URL forming.

    I use GUIDs in all of my table constructs to prevent this - but it prevents me from importing data directly into Caspio tables.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Unique data table entries, not just unique fields

    Add an option to force Unique data table entries, not just unique fields.

    For example,
    These two entries can not be added
    Remote Diagnostics, USA, New Jersey, and Toms River
    Remote Diagnostics, USA, New Jersey, and Toms River

    But These two entries can be added,
    Remote Diagnostics, USA, New Jersey, and Toms River
    Remote Diagnostics, USA, Georgia, and Toms River

    Since 8.0 in November of 2013 mass download and upload of files is available. Mass delete is also available through deleting a folder in the file section or enabling Orphan File Cleanup by contacting support.

  17. Lookup Field

    Hello,
    When I create a relatioship between two tables I get a lookup field in child table, perfect. It would be nice if Caspio designers/engineers could allow us to filter the data being pulled in the lookup field. Currently all the data is coming in from the parent in the lookup, but what if I wanted certain data only.
    Let me know if this is already possible since I am buidling my first Caspio system and pretty new at this.

    Thanks.
    Iram/mcp

  18. Import Update (Not Append or Replace)

    There should be an option when we import information from say Excel into a Caspio Table to Update current information, NOT have to Replace everything. For instance, if I have to add a field to a table, it is easier to export, make the changes in Excel and then would like the option import the information while only updating the selected information into a specified table.
