FileMaker Project Management Template

The Support Group ⋅ June 1, 2023

…at the CRM layout looks like. We decided to use tabs instead of the side navigation element for the project management layout mainly because those are easier to implement natively in FileMaker, and again, we’re aiming for simplicity here. However, if we had time, we would spiff up the side navigation and implement a Material Design look and feel. Here’s the first pass of the new Project Detail page. We have four tabs: Tasks, Team, Documents, an…

The portal will display the tasks for the project, color-coded by status and filterabl…

…nd we all can expect to see remarkable improvements in the sort, find, and navigation functions. Of course, we weren’t necessarily expecting much from the new CPU on the FileMaker front anyway. Still, it has proven to be as much of a game-changer for FileMaker as it has for other process-intensive apps. Don’t hesitate to download and install 19.3.1. There was a bug related to PDF viewing in the initial release, so look for the updated version. Enj…

…ver the years I have studied and used several different menu solutions and navigation techniques, and have yet to find the one that is the ultimate, although Mike Duncan’s recently updated solution is close.

FileMaker Go Bug?

Don Clark ⋅ March 5, 2018

…aced on a Window, those commands were not effective. We also tried various Navigation commands, and I suspect we could build a script to go to a record in a portal and force a scroll, but that is clunky and not intuitive to the user. The only thing we have found that works is to hide the slider using “Hide Object When”. The problem there is the logic it takes to properly hide up to 7 different sliders using conditional logic. It can be done, but o…
