Every Detail Exposed
Displays every detail of your FileMaker database structure in seconds by simply opening your FileMaker Pro Advanced Database Design Report (DDR) with FMPerception.
FMPerception™ is the only RealTime Developer Intelligence utility available for FileMaker. It helps you develop the highest-quality FileMaker custom apps – faster and easier than ever before.
Every Thursday at 1pm Pacific, we host an open video webinar/ chat / user group. You can come and ask questions, share your screen, or just hang out and listen. We’d love to have you.
Get a high level overview of your FileMaker system. The Database Report Card is designed to give you an indication of the complexity and potential problems in a FileMaker application – indispensable for a project that you have inherited!
Call Chain Visualization literally adds another dimension to your perception of how your scripts work together. Follow the flow of your scripts from top to bottom with this two-dimensional flow chart of your scripts.
If you ever need to change how a given script is called by other scripts, you’ll need to quickly find all the scripts that call it. Watch this video to see how quickly you can answer questions like this.
You can export the results of any search or query to a CSV file. This makes it easy to build your own tools like this Custom Function checker we show in the above video.
FMPerception is so fast, you’ll find you want to automate the DDR creation step. We have some documentation on a few ways to do that. Here is video showing how we did it with Applescript.
Check out the documentation page for FMPerception. If you still have questions, you have two options. FMPerception has a public forum on fmforums.com. You can get answers from the community there. You can also email us directly at support@geistinteractive.com.
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.
