FileMakerLab

All about the new While…loop function in FileMaker 18.

We have nowadays several mechanisms to show details of a current record when browsing through a list view: footer, tooltip, pop-over, master-detail part etc.

It could also have been done with variable record heights in FileMakers list view but that’s still not possible.

However: at the forthcoming Dotfmp in Berlin FileMakerLab will present a new technique which will show al list view with records that have a heigt that dependes on the records content. Yes, variable record height.

FileMakerLab discovered a new way to have the same effect and I’ll present them.

It’s all done without webviewers, without any html or svg or whatsoever.

Come and see!

It’s all done without webviewers or extra card windows. It’s work in progress, with some flaws yet, but gives a good start.

At October 10th FileMakerLab will present a useful application for the new Card window. A visual rich value list will be created, with headings, sorting, images etc..

At June 6th FileMakerLab will present a clever date picker with small activity preview. Clever as it will use svg transformations instead of unstored FileMaker field calculations in order to pop lightning fast.
