Calendar datapages should have the date popup window to scroll from month to month
All calendar datapages should have the ability to jump to a different month with ease instead of having to click through each month to get there. A date popup or month/year dropdown menu would enable this and make user scrolling for future dates much faster

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!

50mb
We backup our Caspio Data every week using a Scheduled Task. Out DB has finally exceeded 50MB which means we no longer can create a Scheduled Task for our Backups. Can this limitation be lifted so we can continue with automatic backups?
We can create two scheduled task and manually select the tables we want to back up but when a new table is created it wont automatically be backed up.

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.

bulk insert
the grid edit is so useful for updating records and the bulk edit further improves productivity. What if we could mark records, much like bulk edit/delete, and have new records inserted into a second table passing key fields from the 1st table along with default values to populate the 2nd table records. The 2nd table could subsequently use the very efficient grid edit for changes/updates.
For example: a teacher has a list of students, rather than use line item action (i.e. "add grade") to insert one grade at a time, select all the students still active(enrolled) and "add grade" for…

More than 4 sort fields
Report pages allow for up to 4 sort fields. Please extend to more. At least 7, I think, but why not unlimited.

export csv file should not have quotes in each field value
when create an export csv file without having all the quotes on each value. Most of the time the file export is used for interface and all it needs is comma delimited. It should also provide an option to say include header or not.
Caspio currently create file this way
header row with - "Name","phone"
detail row with - "ABC","9201930000"I suggest the header row should be an option, the detail row should not have the quotes e.g. ABC,9201930000

allow me to select an autocomplete value field that is separate from the field filtered on
When adding an autocomplete field to a form, I would like to be able to select the table/view, the field to filter on AND the field value to store in the record. So that, for example, if I am using an autocomplete field to let someone choose a person, I should be able to choose the 'fullname' field for autocomplete to scan, but 'personid' should be the value that gets stored in the record when it is submitted.

Multi Language posibility
I like to have the posibility to create a multi language app. Now I can only supply my customers with our native language (dutch), but for our international clients I want to supply an english portal. I cannot set this with the current labeling system in the tables. Is this possible?

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.

create an instant app with contest form and submissions for approval and rejection process
I would like to conduct or host a contest for our newspapers, I would like to have an instant app that would be a generic form with registered users within the database and would be unique. Step 1. Fill out form with information. 2. Make submissions to enter into the contest 3. Admin will go in and approve or reject submissions. 4. Contest will run till a certain date and then the system would randomly pick winners or we can manually pick a unique id at the newspaper.

documentation
Documentation is key to good database design. There is no where in Caspio to document what I'm doing for future staff. Each Data Page should have a description field that is optionally displayed as a column in the Data Pages view, so that one can scan all data pages within a folder and read the purpose of each. Thanks!

Provide more graph options like Scatter Graphs
The graph options are very limited in Caspio. The ones there are the most commonly used but sometimes a Scatter Graph or Stack Graph just works better.

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
9 votes - Field1 Equal to Field2...

Add analytics to report forms to track keywords used in search
It would be fantastic for us to track what keywords users are inputting when using our report search in order to determine what topics/issues are most important to our users and provide them with products (research, policies, innovations) based on those results.

Cancel Button on all DataPages
To create the best interface for users, I have tried different ways of navigation between DataPages. Sometimes users will open a DataPage just to realize that the DataPage was not the right one. An obvious thing would be a cancelclose button on all datapages which does just that: Close the datapage without having to navigate back in the browser "Back-button". Setting the destination wil not solve thes issue as I want to open the possibility to submit several submissons before closing, and also to close without submitting anything at all.

Can you introduce a WYSIWYG DataPage Editor in Design mode
Can you introduce a WYSIWYG DataPage Editor in design mode where you can drag and drop elements: like views, reports, charts, geomaps, butttons, virtual groupby totals, images, text, etc.. in the header, footer and content area, incl. interactions between the elements.

Report Filter
Instead of two data pages to accomplish a dynamic filtered search on one page, just include the fields that can be filtered on the report just like the sort option. Even if it is a single filter field and filter value it would be better than nothing or having to using two data pages. If it could be completely dynamic like the designer datasheet view of tables in Caspio, that would be AWESOME!

automatic search based on a user's current location should be built in, rather thank clunky JavaScript add on
Caspio is great but the map mashup is a little out of date. User's should be able to search using their existing location as a standard feature (not with extra JavaScript) and the maps should be responsive to different devices (as all data pages should be really)
