  1. Image file as URL

    Instead of uploading image files to each file field, the ability to pass an image url only as file parameter is easier and space saving.

  2. Allow filtering on List string fields

    When you want to filter a table, the List string fields don't appear in the "select field" dropdown list

  4. Allow unequal joins

    Unequal joins are not common, but when you need them, there are no good workarounds. They can do some magical things very efficiently.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Add Nil As A Boolean Option

    This is a pretty boring change but it will clean up Datapages. A Boolean is the Yes/No Datatype. In most databases a Boolean has three options TRUE, FALSE, and NIL (blank). Adding NIL would be important as we could then hide empty Yes/No values on Datapages and empty Yes/No's wouldn't count against our Data Records.

  8. 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.

  10. search column feature in table when in Datasheet mode

    Sometimes, I have large tables with more than 50 fields and I need to scroll to the right until I get the desired column, I would like to have a search column field which should take me to the column directly or maybe a filter to display certain columns when needed.

    It will be also useful in Views.

  11. Increase the Capacity of Tasks / Triggered Actions beyond 10,0000 Records

    The fact that tasks / triggered actions are limited to 10,000 records is quite limiting. Isn't a benefit of a cloud-based solution that there is unlimited computing power? In my opinion, there's no reason why this isn't possible.

  12. The Ability To Stop A Trigger If No Conditions Are Met

    The use of CASE and IF/THEN statements in Triggers are very helpful - however, it would be nice if there was a logic block or something where we can STOP the trigger from executing.

    In example, if you have an email trigger with a conditional CASE statement in the body, and none of the conditions meet the CASE statement, a blank email will still be sent out. If I could use the ELSE part of the statement will a STOP function, there would be no problem.

  13. 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…

  14. Apply SQL 'AND' clause when creating a view

    This would be helpful for restricting tables before doing the join when creating a view. A possible workaround would be giving the option to link a view with a view. This is very valuable for historical type tables.

    For example:

    I have 2 tables, I need to filter table 1 before joining with table 2.

    Customer table:

    Customer | State

    A | S
    B | V
    C | L

    Entry table

    Customer | Entry | Category

    A | 123 | D
    A | 325 | C
    A | 496 | D
    A | 3874 | M
    B | 3478 |…

  15. Lock fields instead of entire tables when custom programming uses a table.

    Currently, if professional service does any custom work (i.e. triggered action, etc) the entire table is locked and the user cannot do any further development using that table (i.e. cannot add fields, etc.). This causes users to have to submit tickets just to have a new field added. That can take from hours to days to get done through that process. This directly contradicts the use-case for Caspio which should allow users to develop their own apps.

    Previously users may have changed a field used in custom programming which would break the programming. A support ticket would then go in…

  16. Ability to mark fields required when creating data tables (Same as NULL and NOT NULL at MS SQLServer Level)

    The front end has the ability to mark fields required from data page. Need the same at the table level. If the field is a required field at the table level should automatically be required in the data page.

  17. Pre-populating the labels from an Excel import

    When I import a table from Excel, the first row is generally the field names. I should be able to tell Caspio that the cells in the second row are the field labels.

  19. Ability to sort View on specific field

    When using a single table to store all my drop down values, it would be great to be able to sort on a custom column. There are times where sorting alphabetically is not the correct choice.

    Also, if you could sort on a view it would be one less step to configure in the data page. It would help with reusability.

  20. Attach Object

    There is a way to detach an object from a specific App but there isn't a way to attach it to a specific App. You can Share the object but sometimes you simply want to move something to a specific App as part of house keeping.
