We Asked Gemini About Ourselves
We were curious what Google Gemini thought about our company, so we asked it! You’ll never guess what it had to say.

How To Update an Existing Add-On While Preserving Data
We release new versions of our FileMaker add-ons periodically. Learn how to update an existing add-on while protecting your data.
Logging in FileMaker: Free Add-On
With our free PBS Log Add-On for FileMaker, integrating simple logging functionality into your solution is a breeze. This add-on features a visually appealing log in both list and detail views, robust filtering capabilities, comprehensive add-on instructions, and log record export functionality.
Button Bar Sort Header
One of the missing features in FileMaker is the ability to add portal headers that can both sort portals and easily display the ascending or descending sorted order.
Engage Beyond 2021 – Update
This year marks the second virtual Claris Engage, a conference formerly known as DevCon, and widely attended by FileMaker developers, near and far. I’ve attended many of the events already and below is a short recap of what we’ve seen so far, and what we have to look forward to in the future.
Modular Filemaker Database Export
The Modular Export demo addresses exporting a FileMaker solution into CSV files with field names.
FileMaker Free Templates
FileMaker has always included starter solutions, simple databases with basic structure that allow anyone to use as a starting point. Through the years and various versions of FileMaker, the solutions have become more advanced and complex to show the new features of FileMaker.
FileMaker Favorites Launcher
Through the years, the concept of favorites has become a standard in most software user interfaces. File browsers, media players, and web browsers all implement some form of favorites in one way or another. As a developer, it’s easy for me to overlook this concept in any application or framework, but in FileMaker, the use of favorites has never really been my favorite.
Updating FileMaker Files in iOS
The process of updating FileMaker files in iOS has always been sort of a question mark, with multiple ideas for how to best accomplish it, each with their own limitations. At PBS, we developed a process to update files in iOS a number of years ago, but we’ve updated the process with some of the newer FileMaker 18 features that make the process more seamless, while altogether giving it a more native look and feel.
