How to Customize FileMaker WebDirect | Insights

How to Customize FileMaker WebDirect | Insights | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
From www.soliantconsulting.com - April 9, 2020 5:30 PM
There are many ways to customize WebDirect, a part of the FileMaker Platform that enables access to custom applications authored in FileMaker Pro via a compatible web browser.

This is appealing for several reasons, including a zero-configuration client allowing for the commoditization of client computing requirements of your workforce.

While this is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the options to customize WebDirect, I would like to share just a few techniques that I have worked on recently.

Sizing layouts for Android devices for FileMaker 15 WebDirect

Sizing layouts for Android devices for FileMaker 15 WebDirect | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
From www.skeletonkey.com - July 1, 2016 6:08 AM

With the release of FileMaker 15 Server the Chrome browser on the Android operating system is now supported for use with FileMaker 15 WebDirect when using devices with a five inch or larger screen.

I have spent some time testing this out and I’ve found that things seem to work as well as it does on the other platforms.

However, during my testing I did come across something I found to be a bit odd and not quite as intuitive due to the variety of Android screen sizes and resolutions.

WebDirect for FileMaker Server 14 - Soliant Consulting | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
From www.soliantconsulting.com - October 26, 2015 5:10 PM
When FileMaker WebDirect was introduced, is represented a major shift from it’s previous approach to out-of-the-box web enabled applications.

Previously known as “Instant Web Publishing,” the built in capability of FileMaker to provide a first class client that respects much of the same development used to build applications using their other clients, FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go.

Building on the first release that was part of FileMaker 13, the updates to WebDirect continue to make it an attractive option for zero-deployment scenarios as well as on-demand access from anywhere a web browser is available.

 

Let’s take a look at some of the new features.

FileMaker WebDirect Phone Support

From www.dbservices.com - October 4, 2016 4:01 PM

FileMaker WebDirect Phone Support


WebDirect has been redesigned to be compatible with mobile phones.

In the previous release, FileMaker added support for tablet browsers.

FileMaker 15 takes it a step further by providing support for mobile phones.

Although you could access WebDirect with a phone before, it was not officially supported, mainly due to dialogs being too small for user interaction.

 

With this release, FileMaker really focused on ensuring that all dialog messages and drop downs are easier to use on smaller screens.

 

This is great news for the FileMaker community as it allows us to build solutions for even more users.

A Different Approach to Handling PDF Printing from WebDirect | FileMaker

A Different Approach to Handling PDF Printing from WebDirect | FileMaker | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
From www.coresolutions.ca - February 6, 2016 6:01 AM
After working on a solution that eventually became FileMaker WebDirect-ified, it became quite evident that we needed to find a way to do reporting from web-based clients.

As most of you are probably already aware, the very useful “Save as PDF” script step that FileMaker Pro provides is not available to clients accessing your system via Web Direct.

There are a number of solutions to this problem already, but I had problems getting some of them to work, and others didn’t quite fit the bill.

As a result of this dilemma, I decided to roll on my own - I ended up creating a module that is relatively easy to implement, flexible, and even allows you to reuse your existing reporting scripts should you find yourself in a situation similar to mine.
