Adding Back Buttons

[FileMaker Magazine]

One of the most valuable features you can incorporate into your Claris/FileMaker solution is a back button. This feature is deeply ingrained in every individual who has ever used a web browser. It represents the common scenario where your mind recalls the previous location and seeks to return to it. However, the challenge lies in the complexity of your solution's navigation system. Without careful attention to simplifying navigation, there can be an overwhelming number of options that most people struggle to remember.

This video focuses on implementing a few relatively simple scripts which can greatly enhance the usability of your solutions. Providing end users with the ability to retrace their steps and easily return to their starting point is an invaluable offering. The beauty of this feature is that once it's integrated into your solution, it will seamlessly work. It will track and remember the desired state information without any additional effort. All you need to do is add it to your solution.

If you are building a complex system, which is the case for most solutions, incorporating a Back Button feature is an obvious choice that requires no second thought.
