Soliant TV Presents: As Seen In FileMaker 13
By Martha Zink
I’m sure many of you have heard the news of the newest line of the FileMaker platform! The FileMaker 13 product line offers developers and users a new set of features that were either limited or non-existent in the past. In other words, FileMaker has delivered a lot of new, shiny objects with which to play!
Now learning a new version of FileMaker can be time consuming. From popovers to WebDirect, the quantity of changes (both big and small) really do add up. And like any new feature in software, there can be a lot to know. Soliant is proud to begin releasing videos for a series titled As Seen in FileMaker 13 in hopes of easing the learning curve. The series is meant to provide short (maybe some medium length) videos that provide you with “how to” information, general knowledge of the features, as well as creative and interesting ways to use the new capabilities.
Getting anxious to see them yet? 🙂 Well patience is a virtue (or something like that). We’ll be delivering some videos this week. The bulk of the videos will probably make their way to YouTube come the new year. The goal is to make a series of videos that are valuable to you and your use of FileMaker. And while I wish those were easy to produce, it turns out a 3 minute video takes quite a bit longer than 3 minutes to make (silly math). But do not fret! We are busy cooking up some great videos.
A given topic will most likely be covered in multiple videos. Again – short, sweet, useful. That’s what we’re aiming for! Here are some of the topics we will be covering (but I’m sure we’ll come up with more as we create them and do some more playing in the land of 13), in no particular order:
- Popovers
- Slide Controls
- Refresh Object
- Themes
- WebDirect
- Conditional Visibility (or as I call it, “Poof! Magic…”)
- FieMaker Server
- SQL Enhancements
- New FileMaker Go-centric features (or as I call it, “Poof! Magic on my Phone!”)
- New Script Steps
- New Calculation Functions
