If you've not watched the previous video from 2020, then you'll find a link to that one below. We're always trying to take advantage of newer features and improve what we use in our solutions. The functionality we had in 20 is different than what we have now. With the release of this video and technique file, you'll find an updated version of a long-running topic which goes back to 2013.
If you haven't added logging into your FileMaker solutions, then you don't know what you're missing, and there's no better time than the present to do so. By addressing the need for supporting multi-lingual field labels, we are just touching the tip of the iceberg with this creative solution. In this video we'll take a look at how a well structured format like JSON can benefit us in a wide variety of ways. It's one situation where having tightly coupled data is exactly what you're looking for!
By using JSON with one of those somewhat hidden features, we can solve an age old problem of having field specific information available to the whole solution - and we only need to manage it within one location, which happens to be specific to the field itself. That's what happens in this video and technique file. Sometimes, you can combine knowledge about older features with newer ones and end up with something entirely new and cool. To say that developing within the environment is straight forward is a bit misleading. Still have a database which uses repeating fields to store data? They're still there! To its credit, there are very few features which have been removed to date. Most of this is due to its age and keeping a strong commitment to backwards compatibility. No matter what your needs are, I can promise that short of a real-life magic wand, the info in this video will put you on the path to solving the problem you think Claris/FileMaker can't.Ĭlaris/FileMaker, as a development environment, is full of all kinds of hidden corners and secret places. It's always just a matter of knowing where and how to look and then integrating what you find. In this video, I'll show you the technology you need and how to integrate the technology to pretty much solve any problem. You simply need to be willing to step ever so slightly just outside FileMaker and your result will be found. Enjoying your sweets and treats as much as you like! There is, quite literally, nothing I can think of that can't be done just outside FileMaker and brought back in to the software.ĭo you need OCR? AI processing? Serious image manipulation, complicated heuristics, complex PDF manipulation, data scraping from HTML or anything else? You name your need and a solution can be found. It's sort of like always being able to say "Yes" and never having to tell yourself "No". One of the greatest joys I get from working with FileMaker is making it do something it doesn't do natively.
