I have a Document Template mapped to a fillable PDF. It works great except for one field which really needs to display an image. I can easily show the path to the image file but is there a way to render the image instead? Adobe Acrobat includes an Image field in the Prepare a Form tool but Caspio's Document Template does not recognize it. Is there a workaround? Are there plans to add a dynamic image field to the Document Templates feature? Also, is there a way to display a Google Map on a Document Template? I connected my app to the Google maps API so that my addresses are accurate and I display a map on a datapage using the coordinates obtained in the address lookup feature. I would like the map image to be displayed on a PDF report. Again, I can add an image field to the fillable PDF but there appears to be no way to map it in Caspio's Document Template feature. Thank you!

I've been playing around with Directories (beta). First, it would be useful to assign authentications to Groups directly instead of using a view to filter by some other field. Second, it would be helpful to cleanup the URL branding somehow - a new user might feel like the site was hijacked by Caspio when the URL jumps to xyz123.caspio.app instead of linking within the current domain. My immediate issue is that I would like guests to be able to register on our platform directly. Directories seems to handle contacts already in the Directory but there is not a built-in set of external registration forms. We have a simple registration form that collects First Name, Last Name and Email address. The system sends an email welcoming the user and it includes a link that must be used within 2 hours to establish a password. Directories does not yet have this functionality. If I use our original registration form with the Directory, the user can establish a password BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME PASSWORD AS THE DIRECTORY. So, the user gets forwarded to the Directory sign-in page and their newly established password is useless. They would need to click the forgot password button and go through a similar workflow to establish the official Directory password. This process seems to render the Directory functionality somewhat useless due to the poor user experience. I don't see an option for a New User Registration page where they can setup First, Last, Email and Password in a single step (or two-step using an email verification). Also, although Groups does not seem to do much yet, will we have a way to automate group assignment? For example, a hidden field on a registration page automatically assigns the user to a specific group while a different registration page automatically assigns the user to a different group, etc. Thank you!

If an iframe is deployed within a List Report, is there a way to make each iframe adjust height automatically for each record in the List Report? For example, the List Report is the parent and is a list of active projects. The iframe child is a Tabular Report of tasks. Each project has one or more tasks filtered by priority, date, assigned to, etc. Without dynamic height, each iframe would be the same size. If we choose a size large enough to show all tasks for the largest project then we waste space for the projects with only one task. If we choose a more reasonable size then we miss tasks for the larger projects. Thanks in advance!

We have a details DataPage that includes information common to multiple authenticated users. We want to include an [EDIT] button in the header but only for certain authorized users. We control that access with a checkbox and the checkbox field is included in the view used for the authentications. I basically want to have either a link or a message explaining why they can't edit it. <script type="text/javascript"> document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function(event){ if("[@authfield:Editor^]" == "Yes"){ <a href="https://domain.com/edit_page?id=[@id]">EDIT</a>; } else{ <span>Only authorized employees are allowed to edit their company information.</span>; } }); </script> The EDIT link does not show up on my datapage where this Header is located. What am I missing?

Thank you. This works great. Since the download goes to the popup window and not the underlying parent, I don't think I should close the popup with a delay function.

We have a list of completed classes for a student with a button to "Download Certificate". The button takes them to a new DataPage where all of the details are gathered and organized. It isn't pretty until you click Download PDF and get the final, beautifully formatted Certificate of Completion PDF download. Is there a way to go straight to the Download PDF without having to go to the DataPage that creates the PDF? It would be much cleaner if they pressed the button and didn't leave the DataPage with the list of completed classes. In fact, they should be able to immediately click on any other "Download Certificate" button for as many completed classes as they wanted. Alternatively, if they had to go to the DataPage, is there a way to automatically trigger the Download PDF so they don't have to take that extra step while a popup message says "Your Certificate is downloading" and then 5 seconds later they are pushed back to the original DataPage with the list of completed classes? It's unnecessarily clunky but at least the student would understand what is happening.
