Hello, I hope this is the best place to post this. I'm new to the forums, but have plenty of experience with older versions of FileMaker.
I'm currently supporting a database based on FileMaker 6 / Server 5.5... You heard me. It's a rather long story, but the short version is that we will likely be redesigning the database from the ground up using FileMaker 13 in the near future. I'm in the process of researching some of the many new features that have been introduced over the years, and have hit a roadblock when it comes to designing layouts.
We have many different devices, with a variety of resolutions (almost entirely Windows PCs), and I would like to be able to design a single layout in a way that looks good and uses the whole screen on each workstation. What are some of my options without designing a separate layout for each resolution in use?
I'm also trying to have a consistent navigation bar at the top of each layout (in the header of each layout), but I'd like to design it once and reuse it rather than copying and pasting it to the top of each layout. Is there a way to do this, or perhaps something similar?
Thinking of it in terms of designing a website, this would be simple enough to do with HTML and CSS using percentages for widths in most cases. My main goal here is to come up with a set of "rules" for designing layout that would be easy to maintain and keep a consistent look as we move forward with the project. Any tips or advice would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
