DayBack is designed to be customized, and you can transform both the way it behaves and the way it looks. KC Embrey’s latest customization adds a new button to automate resource filters. You might need this if you have many resources (people, equipment, or rooms) and want to see a scheduling grid but don’t want to see blank rows for all the resources that don’t have any appointments.…
We’ve packaged up DayBack Calendar as an add-on: and if you watch the video below, I think you’ll agree that FileMaker 19 add-ons are a game-changer for developers. What Are FileMaker 19 Add-Ons? “Add-on” can refer to both the new objects being inserted into your file–a chart widget, for example, could be called an add-on.

FileMaker can do a lot more with the Google Maps API than just showing pins on the map and creating routes. This mod of SeedCode’s ProMaps template is a great example: it reacts to earthquake alerts.

Alan Corkhill at Marx Okubo recently had us put together some significant customizations to their copy of ProMaps,…
We’ve recently been adding lots of notifications to our customer’s calendars: sending emails and SMS alerts when milestones are approaching or when team members are assigned new projects. But notifications tend to get lost on your phone, so we decided it was time to level up our notification game with some FileMaker IoT. “You can’t automate everything,” a customer recently remarked. We’d been replacing their whiteboards with a…

Here’s a mod I can’t live without. This tooltip will translate your appointments into three other time zones. Also, it’s easy to customize so you can add more cities if you need to. This is also a great example of how fun it can be to use JavaScript within FileMaker because JS makes these kinds of timezone transformations much easier. Transforming Times with Moment.js DayBack includes the wonderful…
The latest in-app update to DayBack introduces custom tooltips. These tooltips are completely scriptable.

ProMaps doesn’t work in WebDirect by default, but KC Embrey and Jason Young have figured out how to customize it to create a seamless user experience. Check out this short video showing ProMaps running in WebDrect: notice how it can call FileMaker scripts in WebDirect and pass found sets between WebDirect layouts…
