Filemaker sync based on current location : example file + video | SeedCode | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

This video and example file demonstrates how to sync just the records relevant to your current location.

This is a very common workflow in offline solutions and it helps keep the found set on your mobile device nice and small: meaning faster syncs and a better experience for folks in the field who don’t have to page through a bunch of irrelevant records.

GoZync Case Study: STAT Bio-Medical - SeedCode - video | Filemaker

GoZync Case Study: STAT Bio-Medical - SeedCode - video | Filemaker | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

Andy showed off a deployment of GoZync that Todd Geist integrated into a solution for STAT Bio-Medical.

STAT’s employees deliver and service large medical devices using offline information on their FileMaker Go databases.

They then push the results of these services back to the main office when they do get an internet connection.

Bill Peloquin, the president of STAT Bio-Medical, had this to say about Todd’s integration of GoZync:

GoZync system is perfect for Stat Bio-Medical and I can’t say enough good things about how this is going to change my company and supporting my customers over night!

Once again, thank you for saving my company and being able to let us Go Green….

Go Paperless with GoZync…. over night!!!

ProMaps: Google Maps for FileMaker Pro

ProMaps: Google Maps for FileMaker Pro | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

We (Seedcode) ’ve simplified GoMaps to work on desktop versions of FileMaker Pro solutions and named it ProMaps.

 

The relationship graph got dead simple so you can paste the map right on to your existing layouts. (And the map is scriptable, so once you click on a pin, you can run your own scripts from the property detail within the map.)

 

ProMaps is completely unlocked for you to modify and extend.

Once you distribute offline files to your users, how do you keep making changes, fix bugs, and re-distribute the files without breaking things or ending up with duplicate files on someone’s iPad?

 

GoZync makes this easy, and this short video shows how.

Unlocked FileMaker Templates

Unlocked FileMaker Templates | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

SeedCode offers simple, easy to modify calendars and templates for FileMaker Pro users and developers as well as powerful solutions to synchronize Filemaker Go users with Filemaker users (with or without Filemaker server).

Didier Daglinckx's insight:

GoMaps is an unlocked template for FileMaker Go that lets you add Google Map views to your mobile solutions. Taking a list of your records as input you can now show that found set on a map within your FMGo solution. You can even customize the map’s pin colors and the pop-over details that show when you click on a pin in the map. Buttons within the map can run scripts in your FileMaker Go file, such a jumping to a record in form view, or marking a record complete.

Syncing Field Definition and Layout Changes | FileMaker Go - SeedCode

Syncing Field Definition and Layout Changes | FileMaker Go - SeedCode | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
Simpler Management of your Synced Files

Mobile apps usually have a very different look and feel than their desktop counterparts (simpler layouts, larger buttons, and only a small subset of the corresponding desktop solution’s features).

But some GoZync customers want to keep their hosted and mobile file schema identical (layouts, scripts, tables, fields, etc.), and they want to do that without having to always make the same changes in both files.

This way they can build new features in their hosted file and then peel off new mobile copies as the new features are ready.

This is easy to do with a little bit of extra prep work when integrating GoZync.

 

Here’s how…

Syncing On-Site Inspections - SeedCode

 

Water Quality Inspections Using iPads, FileMaker 12, and GoZync FullCity Consulting built this solution for a private company tasked with managing water quality in open bodies of water across large parts of two states.

 

FullCity Consulting built this solution for a private company tasked with managing water quality in open bodies of water across large parts of two states.


FullCity created their own FileMaker Go files, then used GoZync to sync inspections made offline with their client’s main FileMaker 12 solution.


Previously they were managing their workflow (from onsite service reports to state required reporting) on paper and using Access running under Parallels on a single Mac in the owner’s office. FullCity’s Adam Aronson recalls:

 

“When I first visited them there was a stack of service reports on the owner’s desk (2″ high!) that represented 60 days of invoices that had yet to be sent out.

I referred to this as ‘self imposed Net-90′.

Additionally, the information represented on the service reports needed to be aggregated yearly into a specific format for state reporting requirements.

Collecting all of the data and reentering it into Access (for printing the reports) was taking the two owners a ridiculous amount of time.”

TimeZync, a filemaker template to capture  billable time, ships | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
Didier Daglinckx's insight:

The first of a series of small templates for Filemaker solutions built around GoZync. 

Most firms have a very hard time capturing billable time and TimeZync can help.

 

It may be the fastest way to log time into a FileMaker solution.

 

And it works offline, so folks can enter time wherever, whenever.
