Difficult FileMaker Interface Question

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

My boss has asked me to develop a solution to the following problem. We currently have a white board at work that we put magnets on which tell where a job is currently at in the department or what it is waiting on. For instance, lets say printing and desktop design are two of the topics. What he wants me to do is to enable a drag-and-drop solution so that everyone in the department can view a front-end where anyone can drag and drop job #1 button under column 1 which would be desktop design. Once that's done, he wants the person that does desktop design to drag and drop that same button to printing so the person working in printing knows to start the job. My problems are that I don't know if this is possible with FM Pro/Server and if it is, how would I do the interface needed because I never know how many buttons will be needed in a particaular column at a time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I appologize if I put this in the wrong topic, but I couldn't find a topic that really fit this issue.

You can't really do this with drag and drop per se, but you can mimick to a point with portals and scripts.

If you need some help with this let me know.

Thanks for the fast reply. I would love to know how to do it. I'll have to brush up on how to use portals, but if you could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!!!

It will probably be better to do off list.

send me an email with exactly what you want.

When we have the solution we can let the list know what it was.
