g'day

i am hoping someone can help

i am looking for a script/function that runs on login to check to see what type of device i am using, and then re-direct to the appropriate layout

will be accessing from the standard fare, iphone/ipad/filemaker client/web

i would like to, for example, have a layout for the iPad that is different from a layout that would be used in a web browser etc

i assume that this is possible?

any help greatly appreciated

Have a look at the Get(Device) and Get(SystemPlatform) functions.

awesome, thanks

i will take a look

Look at the starter solutions they leverage functions to redirect based on device. If your designing an interface to WebDirect i would build a separate interface file for that "device"
