'Ace of Charts' workshop is FMP11-savvy

[SavvyData]

The 'Ace of Charts' class now includes the new chart layout object in FileMaker Pro 11 that FMI announced today.

Here are the details:

The Art and Science of adding dynamic charts & graphs to your FileMaker solutions. ‘Ace of Charts’ is an eye-opening examination of the means and mechanisms for adding attractive, useful charts & graphs to existing FileMaker solutions. Learn how to create dynamic charts that update on-demand or automatically.

Four different methods for constructing charts in FileMaker are covered, to provide deployment options appropriate for any organization:

• The built-in chart layout object introduced in FileMaker Pro 11

• Plug-ins and container fields ( xmCHART from x2max, 360Works Chart)

• HTML/Flash in a Web Viewer (FusionCharts, FusionMaps, Maani SWF Charts, Google Charts API)

• FileMaker non-chart indicator methods (calculations, repeating fields, conditional formatting) that still have a place in providing visual information and feedback

The capabilities and pros & cons of each approach will be explained and demonstrated.

You’ll leave this class with an understanding of four distinctly different techniques for graphing data, along with working example files for each that you can adapt for your own solutions.

Recommended for...

• In-house developers* responding to management’s requests

• Independent developers* wishing to provide additional functionality

• Anyone* who currently exports to any other application for charting

(*attendees should be comfortable with FileMaker layout mode, calculation fields, and relating tables)
