La DevCon de cette année, pleine de surprises…

Brad Freitag, qui a pris la tête de FileMaker Inc. en mars dernier à la suite de Dominique Goupil, a mis fin au suspens lors de son discours d’accueil en annonçant que le nom “FileMaker Inc.” disparaissait pour laisser la place à un nouveau nom d’entreprise… Claris International Inc. !

Si vous voulez en apprendre un peu plus sur ce qui a amené l’éditeur à choisir ce nom, je vous invite (à lire l'article)

Claris’ Product Vision | Codence | DevCon Orlando 2019 | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
Today’s Product Visionary Keynote on day two of Claris DevCon 19 just blew me away.

Without exaggeration, it was the most impactive DevCon I’ve ever attended… and I’ve been to nearly every DevCon for the past 20+ years.

Make no mistake, Claris is not simply a newly rebranded FileMaker, Inc.

Srini Gurrapu, the new VP of Product Management and Design, unveiled the company’s strategy and, together with his product management team, shared what’s to come.

Claris--Rebranding a leader in workplace innovation platforms

Claris--Rebranding a leader in workplace innovation platforms | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

...

 

What was the original brief from the FileMaker team?

Carissa Heller: The brief started as an assignment to refine and clarify “Workplace Innovation Platform” as a foundation for the new brand.

We were tasked with transforming the current FileMaker brand into something that accurately represents its business offerings, customers and values.

Why is this investment in brand such an important milestone for the company?

CH: Your brand communicates who you are, what you stand for and why you exist.

As FileMaker acknowledges its rich history and continues to look towards the future, it is essential that the brand signals the start of a new chapter.

There were several catalysts for our engagement—the primary being the strategic acquisition to expand its product portfolio. FileMaker was planning to announce the acquisition of Stamplay, a workflow automation service.

This new offering led FileMaker to reevaluate its brand positioning and identity.

The Story of Billy Pass - Part One | FileMaker DevCon 2018 Follow-up | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

At this year’s DevCon in Dallas, TX, I presented a session on FileMaker and IoT (Internet of Things); in preparing for it I settled on this definition of IoT:

"The Internet of Things is the integration of people, processes and technology with connectable devices and sensors to enable remote monitoring, status, manipulation, and evaluation of trends of such devices...”

— Peter T. Lewis, 1985


Based on that definition and the highlighted core elements, I split up the DevCon session into two parts:


Collecting sensor data and sending it to FileMaker Server through the Data API; and 

Manipulate the environment by driving motors based on data retrieved from FileMaker Server.

To celebrate this milestone, it’s worth remembering where we came from.

From FileMaker to Claris ... a new future is in front of us ! | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

Claris’ VP of worldwide marketing and customer success shares story of FileMaker’s rebirth as Claris

 

Large or small, a company that decides to change its identity faces a massive undertaking.

 

The time and effort required means the entire company and product vision must be fully aligned, with the full team excited for and passionate about the undertaking.

Point being, it’s not a choice made lightly, particularly if you are one of those companies that’s been around long enough to know exactly what you’re getting into.

 

Our brand, FileMaker, is one that carries so much rich history.

The company created and defined the Workplace Innovation Platform and has grown to over 50,000 customers and more than one million end-users.

 

There was only one problem: FileMaker, with its component names of “File” and “Maker,” was simply too specific to span the customer experiences that we want to create in our next 20 years.

 

For that reason, we decided to choose a new identity.

We chose the name Claris for several reasons.

Passing Script Parameters in FileMaker - A Developer's Guide

Passing Script Parameters in FileMaker - A Developer's Guide | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

What Are Script Parameters?

Script parameters are one of many tools that all FileMaker developers should learn to utilize when developing custom FileMaker applications.

Numerous benefits include writing fewer scripts, increased code reusability, and improved coding organization.


By designing your scripts to pass parameters, you can use a single script with logic branching (i.e., IF, ELSE IF, ELSE) to perform multiple actions within your FileMaker solution.

For example, you can create a Sales Order record in your FileMaker solution.

You can create a Sales Order from a few different contexts in your solution, such as from a Customer record, from a previous Sales Order, or from a cancelled Order.

Often there are similar requirements when creating a Sales Order from each of these contexts.

Maybe you need to know the corresponding customer for this order, or maybe you need to know shipping address.

By passing script parameters you can use a single script to create a Sales Order from various contexts without having to write and maintain a separate script.

There are many ways to format and pass scripts parameters in FileMaker and in this blog post we are going to start from the beginning and work our way up to the various ways we can pass multiple script parameters.

 

This blog post borrows heavily from Makah Encarnacao's FileMaker DevCon 2018 presentation, so be sure to check out her video, slides and example file for more details.

Modular Programming with FileMaker Card Windows

Modular Programming with FileMaker Card Windows | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

LET’S PLAY CARDS!

The Card Window was introduced in FileMaker 16. We learned some pretty cool development techniques and use cases for Card Windows during one of the breakout sessions we attended during DevCon 2018.

TRANSACTIONS

Card Windows can be a great tool for transactional programming. You can easily arrange for transactional events to either pass or fail, meaning all edits/adds/deletes that happen during the transaction are either committed or not. Cards can be leveraged to guide the user through a process, storing the data via global fields, variables or JSON arrays along the way. Ultimately, the data will only be committed if the user completes all of the steps. Incidentally, you can also use slide panels to create this user experience.

One of the largest announcements to come out of the FileMaker Developer Conference 2018, was the rebranding of FileMaker as a “Workplace Innovation Platform”.

 

The main objective of this rebrand circulates around not only making FileMaker more accessible to the average user, but better defining what it is that FileMaker can do, and who it is for.
