Happy 10th Birthday to our FileMaker Blog!

Welcome to post #182 of our Portage Bay Solutions blog! Our blog launched ten years ago on this date and is something we enjoy creating in order to continue with our own learning and knowledge and to help our Claris FileMaker community stay engaged and curious as well. We’ve covered topics such as navigating portals like a spreadsheet, ransomware awareness, our appreciation for PauseOnError, and our preference for pasta puttanesca. The past year has seen over 2,500 downloads of our free add-ons & demos (which number over twenty and counting!) And in the last six years our number of unique visitors has grown over 3,000%, from 800 per year to over 26,000. Thank YOU for following along and participating with us.

What Questions Have You Been Asking Lately?

Through thirty years of Claris FileMaker and web app development, we’ve always found it essential to keep learning and searching, to continue asking the questions and exploring the bounds of what our chosen software platforms can do and accomplish. With the wealth of information to find and review, along with new technologies and updates to keep track of, staying on top of the latest and greatest can seem a daunting task.

With the Calendar Add-on, a calendar interface can be quickly added to any solution with very little hassle.
