Charlie Kilo Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi FM experts! I'm putting together a small project tracking system. I'd like the user to be able to mark any field with a little "red flag" icon, to indicate an area of risk or uncertainty. Is this possible in FM? Thanks, Frosty.

Raybaudi Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yes, it's possible but: 1) Really any field ? 2) Why did you use the word "drag" ? 3) Can the user mark and un-mark those fields or the mark must be setted at layout level ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Kilo Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hey Daniele, 1). Any field visible on the layout. 2). The way I imagined doing it was dragging an icon and dropping it on the field you want to mark. I'm not sure if that's possible or even if it's the best way to do it. 3). The user must be able to do it. Thanks for thinking about this for me. Best! Frosty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 What are you proposing to do with the "risk" information? Just make it display on-screen, or do you want to be able to report (print, summarise etc) all those items that are marked as "risk"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Kilo Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Hi Vaughan. Just being able to mark it will be fine. Edited October 20, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Click to show/hide the flag. You can even DRAG the flag ! frosty.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That's quite nifty. Didn't know that dragging something into a field could bypass the attached script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That's quite nifty. Didn't know that dragging something into a field could bypass the attached script. I discovered that feature sometimes ago and yes, it is quite nifty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumbachr Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The dragging isn't working for me. Clicking works. Might be a Win vs. Mac issue. Mac OS 10.5.5 - FileMaker 9.0v3 Advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gardener Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hello, Worked for me on a Mac. Click and hold the mouse down on the flag and then drag and drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldsneekers Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I'm just passing through and looked at the file. I see that gRedFlag is a global calc field but not referenced to anything. Soooo, how do you enter anything into a calc field that does not reference anything? Thanks OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi that is a trick to not allow the user to delete or change the flag. Initially that field was a normal global one but, after I inserted the flag, I changed it to a calc field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
