Release Notes
NEW FEATURES
Formula Fields in Tables
A new “Formula” data type now supports calculations at the table level. In Table Design, you can create Formula fields using functions, constants, and values from other fields in the same record.
Formula fields automatically calculate values based on your defined expression whenever records are inserted or updated in the table (through Table Datasheet, DataPages, Data Import, Data Import/Export Tasks, or API).
Watch the video below to see how to create formula fields in Caspio:
If you don’t need to store the calculated values in your tables, you can still use Calculated Fields to compute values on-the-fly and display them in Reports and Details Pages.
This feature is available in all plans.

Fixed Columns in Reports
To improve usability of Tabular Reports with lengthy or wide search results, you can now enable “Fixed Columns” to keep a certain number of columns within view at all times. Similar to enabling Sticky Header Row, a new option for Fixed Columns has been added to the Report DataPage wizard.
You can also customize the behavior of Fixed Columns in the Styles wizard, such as the divider line styling and the minimum scroll width.
This feature is available in all plans and applies to Tabular Reports only.
Learn more about Fixed Columns.
Formatting and Localization for Data Downloads
Prior to this release, data downloaded from Report DataPages contained no formatting. Starting in version 9.4, downloaded files can follow the same formatting settings as shown on the DataPage. This feature is available in all plans.
New POST Option in SAML Single Sign-On
In SAML single sign-on authentication, we have added a new “POST” method (in addition to the previous “Redirect” method). This feature is available in Corporate plans and higher.
MINOR ENHANCEMENTS
- Sticky Header Row (released in version 9.2) is now also available in Pivot Table Reports.
- Password Recovery DataPages now have the ability to insert fields and parameters in the Destination Page URL.
- To protect data integrity, lookup tables used as Display Values in Relationships can no longer be detached from Apps.
- The width of the Bulk Edit dialog has been increased to reduce instances of horizontal scrollbars.
- This release also includes security and compatibility updates.
