Building Complex Interface Widgets Takes Time

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are Required

To build  fully functional FileMaker WebViewer widgets, we need to know the languages of the web. While JavaScript is native to FileMaker and we all can learn JavaScript, sometimes we don’t have the time to make a complete study. So we miss out on modern, fully-functional widgets that would improve our custom app.

On the Hunt

There are thousands of JavaScript libraries out there that are ready to be used in FileMaker, but it takes time finding the right one with the right options.

Setting and Changing Options

Many JavaScript libraries have tons of options that you can use in the widget. It takes time to figure out how to invoke each option and what each setting needs, not to mention which options would work well in FileMaker.

WidgetStudio is the Answer

The Real Problem With Data Migrations

Fast Imports is Just the First Step

Fast data imports was a critical problem that has been solved by the FileMaker Data Migration Tool, but that just exposed the next bottleneck in the process of reliably migrating FileMaker solutions

Transferring Large Files Is Slow

It’s going to be time consuming if your data migration strategy involves copying large files to and from a cloud server

Mistakes Will Be Made

If you do anything manually, there will come a day when you don’t do it correctly. You will make a mistake. The only question is: how bad will it be?

The Solution

My world changed!! The migrations from Dev to Prod have been flawless from the first time I ran it…. turning what was, as you know, hours and hours of work into 4-6 minute updates. Seriously life changing.

You need Dev Ops for FileMaker

A Developer Operations (DevOps) tool helps the developer to automate the tedious and error-prone processes of deploying, migrating and monitoring solutions. In the case of data migrations, a DevOps tool must provide the ability to:

  1. Completely automate the process of moving files from one server to another
  2. Configure automatic data migrations using the FileMaker Data Migration Tool
  3. Add your custom logic so you can perform the types of migrations that you need to execute

With a DevOps tool, you will be able to create full automatic multi-server deployments and data migrations that run at the push of the button, or on a schedule.

Otto does all that and a whole lot more!

Otto Does What You Want Your Server To Do – Ottomatically!

Migration Use Cases

  • Migrate files from development to production servers
  • Deploy new versions of a vertical market solution
  • Automatically install files on a new server

Developer API

  • Grab copies and clones from a dev server
  • Download backups
  • Use FileMaker scripts to write your own migration routines

FileMaker 17 & 18 Features

  • Data API Proxy and API Key
  • Enable and disable XML and PHP
  • Disable automatic backup schedule

Takes the Trouble out of Working with Web APIs

If you are new to cURL and HTTP Requests

Generator can help you by guiding you through the process of working with Web APIs. You fill out a form and select from options in drop-down menus to create a request; then you can test it with the push of a button.  Once you have it working, press a button, and you have working scripts ready to be pasted into your own solution.

If you already know how to work with Web APIS

Generator can help you too, by making it easy for you to experiment with APIs, correctly formatting the request, and generating working code when you’re ready to move it into your solution.

Works with any JSON-based API

Generator takes the tedium out of working with APIs. Once you learn it for one of API, you’ll be able to use it for any API out there that uses JSON


Here are a just a few of the thousands of APIs that Generator can help you with.

Generator Makes Working with JSON Easy

Map JSON to Fields

Generator analyzes your open database and helps you create a field map between the fields in your database and the data elements in the JSON data

Generate Script Steps

Once the fields are mapped, you click a button and the ready-to-use FileMaker scripts are generated and placed on your clipboard.

Paste

Copy and paste the pre-integrated script steps into your FileMaker app. They will connect up to the fields in your app automatically.

Support

Generator requires FileMaker 15 or higher. The FileMaker Scripts it generates work with FileMaker 12 through 18, so once the scripts are in your own file, you can use any version of FileMaker after 12.

FileMaker Version Support

FMPerception works with FileMaker Pro, versions 12 and higher, anything with a .fmp12 file extension.

FileMaker versions 12 through 16 require FileMaker Pro Advanced, which was a separate product. FileMaker 17 and higher are only advanced for the Desktop.  So everyone can use FMPerception 🙂

We support the product on any version of FileMaker officially supported. See here for more details.

It does not work with FileMaker Pro 11 and earlier.
