Security is always a big topic when it involves data, or people, or possessions. Recently, over on the FileMaker Community, there was a very beneficial discussion regarding security. Unfortunately, that discussion was the victim of a necessary action...and was deleted. It was deleted, because the discussion was tied to a video that, as was det

Forums are a great way to get technical advice for FileMaker but for some reason, many people don't think they have to be nice in the electronic world. I was raised to say "please" and "thank you" and that has translated over to the internet for me. But, other folks think the anonymity of cyberspace is an excuse to be a jerk. Some posters are outright offensive and others will just leave snide responses like, "that wasn't much help". News flash! People on the internet are real and you should be
Hierarchical JSON Viewer / Editor
By Andy Persons & Doug West
One of the standout new features of FileMaker Pro 16 is native support for the JSON data-interchange format. In addition to providing easy integration with a host of online services, it also provides developers with the tools to create robust hierarchical structures for use entirely within FileMaker. This hierarchical JSON viewer / editor file provides some tools for visualizing, manipulating, and leveraging JSON text.

The release of the new Claris FileMaker 2023 update has been long-awaited by developers and users alike. With many new features and enhancements, it promises to make the already robust database platform even more powerful and efficient. We also recognize that with new updates, compatibility issues can arise. Here are some additional details: Otto Otto will require version 3.5.3 to work with FileMaker 2023. It is available for download. FMPerception FMComparison *FMPerception and FMComparison w
I picked up my first copy of FileMaker 3 and wrote my first little database app in 1998. Twenty-five years later, I still find myself eagerly anticipating the next new release, hoping to try out the next cool feature that promises to keep this business of solving problems with software fun. A lot has changed in the intervening years. The product has evolved and made significant transformations, gaining power and features. FileMaker started as a tool that hobbyists and professionals […]

Claris International, Inc. released Claris FileMaker 2023 (version 20) of the FileMaker platform on Tue. April 25th 2023. This release, like all previous dot releases, saw just a few major features and some new branding via a new icon.
In my opinion, there are primarily three major features in FMP 20 and a VERY large number of both fixes and minor features. I'm calling this one the "move towards enterprise" release. It improves upon its level of support for robust technologies such as ARM suppo

There are a few things to know about installing / upgrading FileMaker Pro / Go.
General
FileMaker Pro and Claris Pro have version numbers such as XX.y.z, where XX is the major version, y the minor version, and z a build version.
Minor upgrades (within a major version) are always available. All users with a 19.1.x version are entitled to 19.6.3 for instance.
Minor upgrades can be made from within the app. (From the Help menu : Check for updates)
Major upgrades such as version 19 to 20 requi
April 25. 2023 – Claris just announced the immediate availability of FileMaker 2023, the new version of the FileMaker Platform
All components of the platform, FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Go and FileMaker Server are concerned, as well as Claris Connect.
A detailed review of new features by Fabrice Nordmann can be found on 1-more-thing’s web site, so we, as a FileMaker hosting service, will focus on the server side.
There are a few scenarios where you may need to change the filenames for your FileMaker custom apps. For example, you might be hosting your development copy and production copy on the same server. Since FileMaker Server does not allow you to host two files with the same name you have no choice but to name them differently, eg,“My_CRM” and “My_CRM_Dev”. Or perhaps you’re maintaining one master codebase on the development server and pushing that codebase to one or more […]

The first EngageU FileMaker Conference took place in 2002 in Malmö, Sweden, organized by SquareMoon and ClickWorks. fmcloud.fm was of course sponsor of the event, which happened to be the first major event since Covid that Claris staff, including Brad Freitag, CEO, attended.
Fabrice Nordmann and Romain Dunand (1-more-thing/fmcloud.fm) presented a session about the various ways of hosting FileMaker/Claris files.

Hello! We’re excited to share that Databuzz is doing some very cool things with Otto, as they’ve recently discussed on their blog. Databuzz is an FileMaker integration expert and awesome Claris Partner based in Sydney, Australia. They announced support for using Otto Webhooks as an alternative to the PHP files that they supply, beginning with their fmESignature Link product (DocuSign Edition). “Otto’s built in support for webhooks means you can use Otto to act as the receiver of the incoming […]
With many native features in Claris/FileMaker, you may end up hitting what you "think" is a brick wall. In this case, I'm referring to the ability of sorting portals. You've only got one checkbox per portal with the options for specifying a selection of fields to sort by. True, you can choose a number of fields to sort by, but, you can't change their order dynamically or allow a user to make any changes to which fields are used.
That is, of course, unless you combine a variety of native feature

For years and years, FileMaker Server has been available for macOS and Windows operating systems. In 2020, FileMaker Server was released, introducing a Linux version.
The new Claris platform’s server, Claris Server, is even Linux only and will remain so.
Clearly, the intention at Claris is to support only the Linux version in the future, which makes perfect sense in terms of development cost and flexibility to implement new features and optimizations. Nick Lightbody published this performance
Introduction This is a quick follow up to an issue I mentioned last month where FileMaker’s JSON functions can transform a number into scientific notation when you might prefer to have that number displayed as standard notation. Demo file: json-force-standard-notation.zip Note: demo file uses JSONGetElementType so requires FM 19.5 or later. The overall workings of… Continue reading JSON – Force Standard NotationView the full article
While you won't have access to as many visual effects as if you had created a native iOS application, there are still some things you can do and take advantage of with native transitions within FileMaker Go. One of my own recent experiences led to making a dedicated script which enhances the visual appeal of performing a find within a single layout.
In order to gain the advantage of FileMaker Go's native layout transitions, you can use a dedicated layout and script to accomplish some really nic
Hi there.
In this article we're talking about record duplication - specifically multiple records including both parent and related child records. We discuss various different approaches and spell out the pros and cons of each. We hope this article proves educational and gives you some ideas around ways to duplicate data.
As always we have built a thorough example file to inform and showcase the different approaches.
