We’ve built our own custom plugin that we use to take advantage of the fact that FileMaker imports CSV files faster than any other file type. BaseElements will import any DDR from versions all the way back to 7.
#BASEELEMENTS SCRIBE UPDATE#
We’re always on top of new releases of FileMaker Pro and quite often have an update out the same day as new versions of FileMaker are made available. By using a Custom Privilege model we’ve made this transparent and fast.Ĭonstantly updated for the latest versions of FileMaker Pro You can link directly from any one item to another other with a single click.Ī single checkbox to allow searching within a single Analysis, or off to allow searching across multiple versions over time. We highlight active or inactive tabs so you’re not hunting and pecking for related information. Using a clean layout structure and efficient use of space, everything in BaseElements is easy to access and simple to find. And an early warning system to locate common pitfalls before they become problems.Įvery Field, every layout, every variable = everything in your FileMaker Solution is cross referenced and linked and it’s quick and easy to see exactly where everything is used, and what all the dependencies are. A comprehensive Unreferenced system that even understands Indirection. This is the best starting point for looking at any solution, you can jump to a list of the items you want to look at with one click.Complete error checking and simple discovery via text highlighting and smart tabs.
The counts for each item can be clicked on to go to the list of those items.
This is the main starting point for any solution. There is no need to create new records in BaseElements as they're all created via import, so this is a convenient shortcut. The New Window function is such a useful way of keeping a found set for later, it's been mapped to the Command-N keyboard shortcut. The history button shows you the last 10 places in it's log, so you can go to any one of them directly. If you manually choose a layout from the layouts menu it isn't included in the back history. This is a scripted back process, so it records only when you navigate via a button inside the UI. Once you link somewhere though, the forward is cleared out, in much the same way that a web browser would. If you've gone backwards, you can then also track back forwards. It doesn't remember your found set or sort order though, so be aware if you go back to a record that isn't in the found set you will alter the found set to include it. The back and forward will remember the layout, tabs and record that you were on previously. The back and forward is to track your history in BaseElements and to be able to back track to a previous layout and record. The buttons are the Back, History, and Forward buttons respectively. The find interface isn't modified at all, you can do regular finds as well as constrain or extend, and because you have field access, you can right click for "Find Matching Records" as well as context dependent sorting. Switch back your old window and use the back and forward buttons to go back to old layouts. You can then open a new window, and keep that found set for later. A sample use case might be to go to a list of related items, which automatically switches to list view.
