Synergize Introduction - web technologies, within your own FileMaker solution | YouTube

Synergize gives you the ability to create flexible, dynamic interfaces such as dashboards, charts, calendars, email Apps, or any other type of graphical interface that uses web technologies, within your own FileMaker solution.

Synergize contains its own PHP web server and uses raw SQL queries (including SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and many more) to access your FileMaker database, returning large data queries in the blink of an eye.

Several “Apps” are provided free of charge.  These include Apps for creating a Drag-and-Drop Calendar, Image Slideshows and best of all a “Portal Builder” App.

Even as a NOVICE, you can build “FileMaker like” portal views enhanced by Web technologies which require NO RELATIONSHIPS.

You can also sort the columns, resize them, add a button that can execute a script, pass parameters from the portal row, add filters for your data and also add conditional formatting.

You only need one web viewer and you can create unlimited portals that you can switch between at the press of a button, making your application extremely lightweight.

All this and you do not need to know any web code.

Using the latest web technologies, including HTML, JavaScript, PHP & AJAX your imagination is the only limit with Synergize.

Synergize overview in an FileMaker application | YouTube

Synergize brings web technologies to FileMaker, enhancing your FileMaker solutions like never before.  

 

At Computech we have created Synergize “apps”, FileMaker developers can simply drop existing features into their FileMaker solution, such as currency conversion functions or image manipulation, or even full applications such as a webmail client.

 

Synergize, also allows web developers to utilize the extent of their knowledge to extend their own FileMaker solutions with web-based UI.

 

As the Synergize plugin will be capable of running on the server, mobile devices such as the iPad, iPhone, Android & Surface tablets will be able to utilize the all features of the Synergize plugin for FileMaker 13 (and above) as all that is required for it to work, is a web browser.

Over the past few months we’ve been working on a large FileMaker PHP Project for a client that required a web based interface to their FileMaker solution that worked on smartphones and tablets (both iOS and Android),  as well as the traditional desktops (Mac and Windows).
