Web Companion Documentation, issues

[dhutch]

Is there a good source or documentation of what FM features work with WC and what won't? I want users to be able to create a new record in one database, with the first field being their auto-assigned ID #, which they will need to access a separate related database later in order to add data. The problem is the auto-assigned field shows as empty when accessed via the internet, although the data is there if I check the record on the server.

Other fields involve calculations, and I haven't found good documentation on what features work over the Web. A layout might include a "submit" button, for example, that works if the file is accessed directly and displays but doesn't work on the internet--the WC "submit" must be used (apparently).

Any suggestions, anyone?

Though you failed to specify, from what you have written it sounds as if you are using IWP. There is not a lot of documentation on IWP, and most forum users are using CWP.

IWP is wysiwyg.

In order to use IWP you will probably need to construct layouts specifically for the web. Whatever fields you wantdisplayed must be on the layout you are accessing via the web.

You are right, and since that post I've determined that much of what I want to do will require using CWP with a minimum of programming, if that's possible.

See Article # 107476 in the FMP Knowledge Base. It lists which script steps IWP supports and provides some other basic information about IWP. Hope this helps.
