Rebuilding Found Sets: New Techniques in FileMaker 25
FileMaker 25 introduces a subtle but transformative shift in how we interact with found sets — one that quietly rewrites long-standing patterns around record navigation, selection workflows, and session context. In this session, Nicolás Hunter explores a new pairing of script steps and functions that unlock a simpler, faster, and more declarative way to define and revisit sets of records. We'll move beyond conventional methods like global filters, GTRR workarounds, and looping scripts — and instead, tap into new native features that bring clarity and precision to what used to be messy. You'll see how these tools open the door to smarter UI patterns, lightweight session history, and more predictable performance — all while reducing the need for graph clutter or multi-field hacks. Topics We'll Explore: Capturing and restoring found sets with complete control over order and context Handling selection logic across layouts and windows with minimal schema Leveraging range-aware formats for compact record targeting Practical examples for reporting, portal UX, and server/client workflows Subtle behaviors and what to watch out for when relying on internal IDs Developers who want to streamline how they handle found sets, rethink traditional navigation flows, or simplify complex record filtering logic without compromising flexibility.
