De la recherche à l’index Pour cet atelier, je suis revenue sur un sujet qui me tient à cœur : la recherche dans FileMaker et plus particulièrement, l’utilisation des index pour faciliter celle-ci.

As with most every database solution, one of your primary goals is to facilitate easy navigation. You want users to be able to get to where they wish to go without hassle. You also want relevant navigation based on the fact that a database isn't just a one-trick pony. A lot of software tends to focus on one singular thing. However, in many database systems you may be catering to wider range of users.
This is where it becomes helpful to have a navigational method which is not only flexible, but
As Claris gets further into an Agile groove, there are product releases more often, always with new features and improvements. FileMaker 19.5 is no exception. It includes many new features, but I wanted to bring attention to one simple thing that will make a world of change for many of us in the FileMaker developer community: Save a Copy as XML on FileMaker Server.Afficher la totalité du billet

Finding things within any database system requires the understanding of how to make a proper query of what you're searching for. In FileMaker, this comes in the form of FileMaker's Query By Form method of searching. To fully understand all of its power, you need to explore the concept of multiple requests, omit requests, using search operators and more.
However, before you even start to get into Query By Form, you need to know what's going on with FileMaker's Quick Find feature. It's a very pow

FileMaker provides a good number of UI widgets which allow for a wide mix of cool things. Sometimes, it's all about knowing the various features and functions which allow you to implement a really helpful navigation feature.
For this video/article release you're going to find a wonderful technique which allows you to assign keyboard commands to the navigation of a Button Bar widget.
There are a number of ways this technique could be used, but the fundamental reason for doing so is because you

One of the best parts of learning to develop within FileMaker is you have a great sense of "full control" over the data you want to manage. This applies to situations even as simple as a hobby or something you enjoy. In fact, these "hobby databases" are some of the best ways to expand your learning about how to both structure and present data. If you haven't before, you should give yourself a challenge with something you enjoy!
In this video, I decided to break down the series of steps I took w
Portals can be used for essentially two different functions. Either data presentation or interaction. Of course, as you already know, you can also use a portal for both aspects of presentation and interaction as the same time.
In this video, we continue the growth of our Home Project database where we take a look at the core differences between a Master/Detail portal (Current found set) and one which uses a Self Relationship.
If you've not come across the differences between portal types, and

Any FileMaker solution is a growing collection of stuff to be maintained. By the nature of development, some things will be replaced leaving some aspects to be abandoned and others to be lifted up by revitalizing them. Regardless of what goes and what stays, it's best to have a plan for how things will be added and how easy it will be for your future self, or anyone else, to be able to identify those things.
In this video, I walk through the Home Project database I'm working on and I talk about

Designing within FileMaker can either be pretty easy or somewhat hard. There's no exact way to design the look and feel of your solution, but the process of implementing the design can be easier when using FileMaker's grid.
In this video, I talk about the process I use to first determine the size of a layout and then go on to refining its size so it fits within the golden ratio.
Finally, I talk about implementing my use of the grid to make the styling of objects easier and give myself some gui
