FileMaker Perform Script on Server: Episode IX – Endless PSoS Abilities

by Vincenzo Menanno
Posted in All, Claris Development, FileMaker, FileMaker 2024, FileMaker Server, Techniques

If you go looking for a FileMaker script step called Perform Script on Server on Server, you are not going to find it. Because this isn’t a new script step, but rather the same Perform Script on Server (PSoS) that we have always had, except that now it is FileMaker Server-compatible.

This capability allows FileMaker to fire off other Perform Script on Server scripts (from an existing script that is running on server), and either wait for those to complete or not. I have been thinking that with this feature one could build a main controller script and a set of worker scripts. That is just one idea, of many, I am sure.

FileMaker Semantic Search – Part 3: Advanced Fun

Semantic search is a bit like LiDAR: it penetrates the data’s lexical canopy to reveal underlying meaning. In “Part 1: Fundamental Power” and “Part 2: Key Details” we covered the basics of FileMaker semantic search. Now let’s consider some more exotic ways this new feature can put a spotlight on our data.

We’ll show an example of “unified search” across multiple tables, using natural language to construct a semantic search. Then we’ll extend this to a second example, showing “unified search + actions”. A downloadable demo/tutorial file is provided for each of these two examples.

FileMaker 2024 delivers native semantic search, and it’s awesome. Now you can search records whose text is similar to the semantic meaning of your search term, even if those records don’t include your exact search term. Using natural language, users can be freed from trying to recall exactly how data was input. Let’s dive in to see just how powerful FileMaker’s semantic search is.

FileMaker 2023 (v20) added minor functionality to the FileMaker Data API. Here, we’ll cover an overview of the new date format parameters, Save Record as PDF script step, and several bug fixes. We also want to mention another option, FileMaker’s OData features, for some of the integrations we might otherwise handle via REST, cURL, and the FileMaker Data API.

We’re providing a tutorial file for learning more and trying out various REST and cURL functionality with FileMaker’s Data API. Enjoy!

The Art of Code: FileMaker’s Integration into ‘Problemista’s’ Plot

by Julian Nadel
Posted in All, Beezwax News, Business, Claris Development, Community, FileMaker, FileMaker 2023, News

Throughout the new A24 indie film from Julio Torres, there is an ongoing dialog and deep drama about … Claris FileMaker Pro. Yes, FileMaker Pro is featured in a movie. Good news?! Well, based on initial press coverage and a clip on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, we thought perhaps not. In those brief seconds of national television coverage, our beloved software was called a “harder-to-use, not free” version of Google Sheets.

So, is this big screen debut a major problemista for all of us who love FileMaker?!
