The Selector-Connector is a data model for organizing your FileMaker table occurrence graph. It is something we’ve been loosely collaborating on with our friend and colleague Todd Geist.

This post builds on the session I presented at DevCon 2015: Data Modeling Beyond Anchor Buoy which described the FileMaker Selector-Connector pattern for the relationship graph. At DevCon we also went through some sample files which are available here in the “DevCon 2015 Demo Files” section. We’ll reference those files in this article as well. (You can also think of this as a continuation of my the earlier post on Selector-Connector: “FileMaker Data Modeling with Selector Connector“.) I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with Todd as the idea was developing. This collaboration lead to the current model used in our SeedCode Complete template, and was the basis of my DevCon presentation.

In designing Complete We wanted to make the design patterns consistent throughout the entire solution. For example, when looking at a Contact–whether on the Contact layout or as a related contact on another layout–we wanted that presentation to be the same. The pattern we established in the main Contact layout would therefore be replicated throughout the solution so users could always recognize the interface for “Contacts”. Before FileMaker 13, this would be a challenge because there would typically not be enough real estate to show detailed Contact information in other contexts–on a Project layout, for example–without intruding on the Project information or seeming out of place. With 13, pop-overs and slide panels give us a lot more flexibility.

Didier Daglinckx's insight:
SeedCode Complete offers a comprehensive framework for contacts and project tracking. It’s more than a calendar, it’s a massive head start on your next FileMaker database.

Data modeling is a critical part of FileMaker development, and keeping an organized table occurrence graph is key to rapid and bug-free development. Anchor Buoy (AB) is arguably the most widely adopted FileMaker development convention because it gives an excellent visual pattern and language for tackling this. However, we want to make sure that a strict adherence to the AB pattern isn’t limiting our access to powerful tools in the platform. We’ll look at some new pattern ideas like universal context and the selector-connector to see if we can keep the organizational benefits of AB while unlocking all the power the graph has to offer.

We’ve been asked to provide a descriptive overview of how the relationships graph in SeedCode Complete is structured and why. So I’ll try to do that without getting into too much technical detail, or philosophy.
(For some of the philosophy here, checkout Jason’s posts on the origins of the Selector Connector pattern and why he chose “cards” as the design metaphor in Complete.)
