Claris FileMaker for Beginners - Day 23 - Naming Conventions
Unique, consistent names for scripts, layouts, relationships, and table occurrences are needed to stop developer confusion. Resequencing is inevitable, we discuss how you can make this easier on yourself. There are specific layouts that can’t be renamed without breaking other parts of your database. Anchor-buoy has very specific naming conventions to make it easier to “read”.

Claris FileMaker for Beginners - Day 24 - Reports & Subsummaries
Reporting is the last thing that developers typically build in a FileMaker solution. But report should ideally be documented and planned BEFORE building the FileMaker app. Summary fields, and Subsummary body parts are essential for MOST reports.

Claris FileMaker for Beginners - Day 26 - Script Triggers
By using any of the 26 script triggers in FileMaker, you can run scripts that are triggered by a host of user actions, including layout and record navigation, rotating a mobile device, entering or exiting a field, and changing modes or views. As useful as script triggers are, they can add complexity to your apps, and have the potential for undesirable consequences.

Claris FileMaker for Beginners - Day 27 - Script Parameters & more Script Triggers
Communicating with a Script that will run, is running, or has already completed is a critical skill. Script parameters are a way of exchanging data to a script that has just been activated. Script results are text strings that come from scripts that have just completed.
Thu - 2/27
Claris FileMaker for Beginners - Day 28 - Conditional Formatting
Conditional Formatting allows you to alter the appearance of layout objects based on conditions you specify. We discuss why this might be useful, how to specify multiple conditions, specific formatting for buttons, and how different types of conditional formatting stacks.
