The top call stats log was introduced in FileMaker 15 and when we first heard about it we were excited about the possibilities of using it to track down where the bottlenecks might be in our solutions and where to go prospecting for performance optimization opportunities.
What does it mean to be a professional? A technical definition may include the fact that one is in a ‘profession’. This is generally defined as a line of work that requires some sort of certification, where you subscribe to a code of conduct or ethics, and where recurrent training is required. Accountancy, healthcare, and the legal profession are all obvious examples.
Sometimes there are small changes in different versions of FileMaker as they are released and without careful attention to detail, bugs can crop up. I came across one such minor change recently that has to do with Insert from URL.
With FileMaker 16, Claris introduced the FileMaker Data API into the FileMaker development environment, giving us a powerful new tool for pushing and pulling data in and out of the FileMaker database engine.
Combine the power of Google’s mapping technology and your FileMaker solution with Portage Bay’s Map Widget. In a few easy steps, integrate Google Maps to display interactive location data utilizing Google’s Marker Clustering function along with callbacks to FileMaker.
We released the Map Widget last year, but have just recently published a new overview video to provide an easier way to get an idea of how it works.
Recently, we had a client request to export their FileMaker solution into CSV files with field names. The solution had a sizable number of tables, though doable manually, it inspired me to look for a more automated method. Much to my dismay, a script or module that fit our needs did not present itself. But I learned quite a bit about FileMaker exporting in the process.
