Covering every single aspect of any given subsystem in a database solution can take quite a bit of time. There's typically some juicy tidbit of information you may have left out - and I wanted to make sure you get every little bit you can.

This was the case with the Notifications system. I wanted to make sure I covered every little detail, because it's such a useful aspect for any database.

Without being notified of events, which may be happening with data, all you really have is a data warehouse.

In this video, you'll learn about the how and why utility layouts are used, why it's so important to break things down into smaller interacting parts, and when you might want to offload a script to the server versus FileMaker client.

A few other things I cover are using a Queue table for your outbound email and why using a table is more effective then just sending email directly within scripts.
