Here’s a beautiful mod to DayBack calendar by Brian Ouimette of NorthEast DataBase Solutions. Brian scripted DayBack so that some views use the calendar’s default popover to show events, while other views show the event details to the right of the calendar in a new FileMaker layout object. Best of all, Brian sent us an example file and the scripts he used to make this change so that you can…
Here’s a beautiful example of adding additional color-coding options and icons to DayBack Calendar. This customer wanted to retain DayBack’s default color-coding for status but add another color–shown here as the header of the event–for color-coding by resource (salesperson, in this case). They also wanted some icons to highlight a few facts about the event. Icons show if the event can be moved or if there is bad weather…

When you’re tracking project deadlines in DayBack, you can have the calendar forecast project costs as well. DayBack user Gerhard Huber did that and customized his solution to estimate the cost of a project based on the time required for the task and the resource he’d assigned (each resource has their own per-hour billing charge.) Check out this video he made showing it in action: Not only is Gerhard updating…
Check out this FileMaker calendar of the public events at the Hammer Museum in LA: Julia Dzwonkoski of AngelCityData designed and built this, adding a custom sidebar to the left of DayBack calendar. This sidebar, which contains a list of current exhibitions, is made solely with FileMaker layout objects and calls FileMaker scripts in DayBack to manipulate the calendar’s filters. The result is a very elegant calendar that’s…

DayBack already lets you use a FileMaker calculation to determine how each event is displayed above. Now you can include styling in that calc. New documentation contains screenshots and calculations for each of these examples: Add Font…

A couple customers have recently asked if they could inspect the CSS in DayBack like they can in web apps so they can find the exact name and class of the objects they want to style. Yes!
