Custom Dynamic Value Lists

Within the realm of FileMaker development, there are a number of key techniques which allow you to do the types of things you'd normally expect in any development environment. Many of these have been around for many years. In this case, this one, a decade. The unfortunate thing is that some of these obscure methods and techniques just aren't that easy to replicate from memory. Some are hidden in the corners of FileMaker development because they feel like they're "hacks". But, at least they get t

Using Add-ons via a Charting Example

When Add-ons were announced, it sounded like they were going to be the holy grail of transportable code within FileMaker. Thus far, I don't know exactly what the adoption rate is and if the effort is paying off for Claris. I think the concept still has legs; as you can see that the new experience Claris is putting into FileMaker currently leverages what was built. While I have my own personal strong opinions about how Add-ons were implemented and are currently used, there's no doubt you can sav

FileMaker Date Formats & Functions

When first starting with FileMaker, I remember learning all the default Date/Time/Timestamp functions. The documentation for FileMaker is great and the example calculations often lead you in the right direction. One of the things I didn't know about was how dates, times and timestamps were treated internally. More importantly, how this impacted what I wanted to do with date/time calculations and integrating with external systems. Later down the road, I learned about all the other things I neede

Connecting Portals to JSON Arrays

Have you ever wished you could connect a portal to a JSON array? Portals and JSON arrays seem like they should be a natural fit, but FileMaker doesn’t offer us an obvious way to connect one to the other. (An example of where this might come in handy would be selection criteria for a report,… Continue reading Connecting Portals to JSON ArraysAfficher la totalité du billet

Noël : un peu de couleur dans un écran de gestion

Cadeau de Noël : un peu de couleur dans un logiciel de gestion ! 🌈 Pourquoi l'usage de couleurs variées et fraîches serait-il exclusif aux sites Internet ? Pourquoi ne pas en tirer profit pour des écrans de gestion, à qui l'on réserve bien souvent le privilège d'être "gris sur gris" ? En illustration, voici un écran de contrôle de rentabilité revisité à la demande de mon client. Il s'agit de comparer la rentabilité d'un projet lors de ses trois étapes : - bureau d'étude,

Full Portal : Une table externe dynamique et paramètrable

Pour les besoins de différents clients nous avons développé une variante de la table externe native de FileMaker. L'idée était de combler certaines limites de la table externe classique. Par exemple, pouvoir ajuster le nombre de colonnes de manière dynamique, trier les lignes suivant certaines colonnes, déplacer les colonnes et surtout pouvoir scroller sur l'axe horizontal. Le tout avec de nombreuses options de mise en forme facilement règlables à l'aide de fonctions personnalisées. C'est ainsi

Avoiding Record Locks

For many FileMaker systems, the number of concurrent logged in users, especially those who will hit issues with record locks, is often very low. Typically, these types of systems are used within the local area network and you just ask the offending user to unlock the record. However, with the number of remote users logging into a system through the WAN, a variety of things have had to change. The way you architect a database system can't necessarily take the same approach as was done before. As

Prettifying Your UI

One of the most satisfying things about being a solution developer is the opportunity to create the user interface. You get to create, and modify, how users interact with your software creation. It's like shopping for just the right outfit for that perfect occasion. The one which will present your software in just the right light and with the right amount of pizazz. Of course, you have to be willing to update and change your style over time. Nothing stays popular forever - right? So, you consta

Multi-Criteria Portal Filtering

When first using FileMaker's Filter Portal Records feature it's easy to get excited about how you can limit the set of records to exactly what the user needs to see. You start adding a single filter and the result feels like magic. A simple search filter using a global field will let you extra exactly the records you want. It's great! However, when start adding more and more filters things start to get complicated really fast. You have to become super comfortable with creating complex calculati
