Perform Script on Server

Perform Script on Server is the one step which will change how you develop FileMaker solutions FOREVER. Yes, I said that with all caps! This is exciting!

There's so much power in how it can be used, that it truly is a game changer. This is fundamentally why the web is so popular. It works like this.

Your client, a web browser, makes a request to some beefy server and it wrangles the data and then reports back with the compiled results. This is essentially what this new script step does, but with all the power of what FileMaker can do.

Until you start using it, it "seems" like it's just "another feature". Changing the way you think about FileMaker development, using PSoS for short, is inevitable. If your solutions are stuck in versions prior to 13, then you might want to beg, borrow or steal (ok, not steal) to start using this feature.

With PSoS, you can import hundreds of thousands of records in mere seconds. You can send hundreds of thousands of emails without ever seeing a spinning waiting indicator. You can update hundreds of thousands of records with lightning speed or generate a hundred page report as a PDF within minutes instead of hours.

This video provides all the critical know-how in order to start working with PSoS and it will get you going fast!
