For Zoho services only


I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

If you are looking for structured Zoho expertise backed by an established consultancy, you can contact Ascent Business Solutions on 0121 392 8140 (UK), email info@ascentbusiness.co.uk, or visit https://www.ascentbusiness.co.uk.
Zoho CRM & Zoho Creator: Query returns some fields missing other data on the record

Zoho CRM & Zoho Creator: Query returns some fields missing other data on the record

What?
A super quick article to demonstrate how an idiot like myself can misread the documentation. This particular article shows you how to customize the search results or response from using zoho.creator.getRecordById().

Why?
My use case scenario is that I was trying to build a related list in Zoho CRM with a view on to related records in Zoho Creator. For some reason, only some random fields were being returned, all pretty much useless to me. Well the "for some reason" turned out to be because my detail view on the report was displaying a report/document template.

How?
The quick answer is:
Add the fields you want to the detail view of the report you are accessing.
Zoho Creator - GetRecordByID or SearchRecords missing data - Quick Answer
The detailed resolution is:
  1. Create a duplicate of the report with the records you want
  2. Click on "Detail View"
  3. Click on "Layout"
  4. Select the first list layout
  5. Click on "Configure fields for Web"
  6. Add Fields that you want returned
  7. Done

This applies to Zoho Creator 5 when using zoho.creator.getRecords(), zoho.creator.searchRecords(), zoho.creator.getRecordById(), and invokeUrl [ ...api v2... ]
