Export Field Contents on Server: Containers Finally Go Native in FileMaker 26
Exporting container contents on FileMaker Server used to mean plug-ins, workarounds, or complicated architecture. Not anymore. In this session, we explore the new native server-side Export Field Contents capability and why it is a big deal for automation, document handling, and clean server workflows. This is one of those features that removes pain from real systems.
Wed - 7/1
Draco Catalog: Persistent Metadata for Serious Developers in FileMaker 26
FileMaker 2026 introduces Draco Catalog — and this is not just another checkbox feature. This is persistent metadata storage designed for developers who care about configuration, add-ons, deployment, and structured systems. In this session, we look at why metadata matters and how Draco Catalog can change the way advanced FileMaker solutions are managed.
Thu - 7/2
Display Names for Fields: Clean Internals, Beautiful Output in FileMaker 26
Developers need structured field names. Users need clean labels. Until now, those two worlds often collided. In this session, we explore FileMaker 2026 field display names and annotations, and how they help separate developer logic from user-facing presentation. Your schema can stay clean — and your users don’t have to see the machinery.

Advanced Patterns & Pro Techniques
In this final session, we go beyond the basics and explore advanced techniques that separate good developers from great ones. We’ll cover smart caching strategies, pre-calculated vs on-the-fly data, and the impact of stored versus unstored calculations. You’ll learn how to design systems that feel instant, even when handling complex data. This session brings everything together and gives you a toolbox of high-level strategies you can immediately apply to your own solutions.
Tue - 7/7
What is “Performance” in FileMaker (Really?)
Why do some FileMaker solutions feel instant while others feel painfully slow—even when they use the same data? In this first session, we reset the way you think about performance. It’s not just about speed. It’s about perception, structure, and user experience. We will explore the difference between real performance and perceived performance, and why users often judge your solution long before your scripts even finish running. Through simple but powerful demonstrations, you’ll see how small design decisions can make a system feel fast—or frustrating. This session sets the foundation for the entire series and will change how you evaluate every solution you build going forward.
