Here’s a great example of using filters to display multiple calendars, each from a different layer of your business. A custom sidebar uses FileMaker scripts and buttons to show and hide calendars using the resources from each line of business. Our customer, Parvin Paving, wanted to show their field service schedules alongside the schedule of their estimates and sales teams. They also have calendars for booking conference rooms…
SeedCode’s Ann Kiser has added a version management component to SeedCode Complete as part of a custom project she’s working on. Complete comes with a built-in audit log, but document versioning goes further by preserving all previous iterations of an attached file and tying that to an approval process so you can know which versions are available for use. This is part of a thorough customization Ann is…
Here’s an extension of SeedCode Complete designed by Jim Parvin of Parvin Paving and Sealing. In addition to the master-detail location browser on the left, Jim brought all the slide panels forward as tabs since he had large monitors and lots of space. I like how Jim used the slide panels in Complete as a palette of interface elements and brought forward the ones he wanted, arranging them on…
Jason has just completed a new build of SeedCode Complete. This new version fixes a number of small bugs, adds some overall polish, and brings the calendar in Complete up to the latest version of DayBack. That means you get some cool new calendar behaviors and new resource scheduling views: [ba-youtubeflex videoid=”vsDEpcnn9kE”] This is a free update for Complete version 4.29 and higher. Information on making these changes…
Do it yourself Most of our customers integrate and customize SeedCode on their own: they integrate DayBack Calendar into their files, skin it to look like their layouts, and create new fields and layouts in the SeedCode Complete starter solution. Sometimes folks will ask if this is really hard, or if a “beginner” can get it done without help. That depends on the individual, but I tell folks that we…
The SeedCode Complete starter solution now comes with a tightly integrated copy of DayBack Calendar. We’ve been looking forward to this integration for a long time and were waiting until DayBack had gantt charts, as they’re a bit part of managing projects in Complete. The gantt charts are here now and this integration with Complete was worth the wait. DayBack calendar is a great fit for Complete and there…
Background This post builds on the session I presented at DevCon 2015: Data Modeling Beyond Anchor Buoy which described the FileMaker Selector-Connector pattern for the relationship graph. At DevCon we also went through some sample files which are available here. We’ll reference those files in this article as well. (You can also think of this as a continuation of my the earlier post on Selector-Connector: “FileMaker Data Modeling with Selector Connector“.) DevCon 2015…
Part 4: Building the detail slide panel, and adding a main layout This is the last article in this series. Part one describes how to add the new buttons to the home page in SeedCode Complete while keeping the nice hover behaviors in place. Part two shows how to create the new slide panels in the sidebar. In part three we create the new table, as well as some scripts to…
We’ve been asked to provide a descriptive overview of how the relationships graph in SeedCode Complete is structured and why. So I’ll try to do that without getting into too much technical detail, or philosophy. (For some of the philosophy here, checkout Jason’s posts on the origins of the Selector Connector pattern and why he chose “cards” as the design metaphor in Complete.) There are four distinct models in use…
Part 3: Searching the new table in the sidebar If you missed part one of this series, it describes to how add the new buttons to the home page in SeedCode Complete while keeping the nice hover behaviors in place. Part two shows how to create the new slide panels in the sidebar. This post describes how to wire up the slide panel for our new module so you…
