Claris FileMaker Love

Wouldn't it be great if you could just describe the chart you want in a few lines of text ... and voilá... you've got it?

Well, with mermaid-js - an open-source javascript library - you can create charts in a very intuitive markdown-like way.

So, ... let's first learn about Mermaid ... and after that try building it into our FileMaker solutions!

Phil Hanson has a vertical solution for managing Australian gymnastics clubs.

 

He’s using Claris FileMaker Pro as an interface for club/gym managers, and WebDirect as a staff portal.

 

We (24U software) ’ve helped him to create a members portal as a proper custom web app with responsive design and professional user experience, leveraging the best of all three worlds in a single solution.

This demonstration show a FileMaker custom app for dog walks.

 

The app is integrated with the Climacell api to check the weather before the walk.

The app stores each walk from he starting location, determines average duration from that starting point and then pings the Climacell api to see what weather is expected during that time.

If weather is found, the app pings the API again to find the next time where the duration of the walk can be completed before precipitation is encountered.

The example is a classification system like the Dewey Decimal System where you have multiple classes, divisions and sections in multiple levels.

 

The idea is to be able to select one from the top level and then to be able to select only related items in the second dropdown.

And this for multiple levels.

Created in Filemaker Pro 14.

In this video, we (Productive Computing) explore the new, free CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) file that FileMaker is now offering in their FileMaker Custom App Academy.

 

We then compare FileMaker's free app and its functionality to some of the paid CRMs that we offer (Core4 and Core5).

The free CRM from FileMaker includes four modules:

• Dashboard,
• Clients,
• Contacts
• and Opportunities.

 

We explore the functionality of these modules for the end user and go under the hood to look at the different tables, relationships and table occurrences.

Core5 Starter Edition CRM was created to give developers (and end users) the ability to jump-start a FileMaker QuickBooks integration because this starter solution comes preconfigured to connect to both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online.

Core4 CRM is a robust CRM created to manage all aspects of a business.

This CRM can be integrated with QuickBooks Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Contacts, and Apple Calendar.
