Last week Claris announced the first public availability of the new Claris Platform Bundle. Do you deal with scattered information and inaccurate data? Gain greater visibility across your entire business with the cloud-based Claris Platform which integrates the full capabilities of FileMaker Pro with the new Claris Studio environment, Claris Connect, and more. We would love to help you work simpler, faster, and smarter. Contact us for a walkthrough of how you can solve your problems by using Claris Studio. Or schedule a Calendly call. Claris Studio will also be a featured topic at an upcoming Claris Beyond Meetup.
John and Kate just returned from the annual CLEAN PACIFIC Conference in Renton, Washington, where they talked with attendees about how crafting custom software for their business is not as intimidating as it may sometimes seem. Using the simplicity of the low-code aspects of Claris FileMaker allows the ideas in your head to become elegant solutions quickly, in a matter of weeks or months. Read on to learn more about this app built for those in Incident Management. If you’re in a different field, we can help you and your team get more done in less time, too.
We all have a lot on our plates these days (often too much!), and it can be hard to keep up with these needs for expanding technology and ensuring your business is taking advantage of the options they should be. Not only is our job to stay up to date on the latest technology, but also to understand our client’s businesses so we can help ensure they are meeting their goals. That’s why we are kicking off this summer with a new four-part blog series that delivers the keys to this kind of tailored, successful custom software development, called Harnessing the Power of Digital Transformation.
Last week, Claris announced two exciting new initiatives, the first a new Software as a Service (SaaS) platform called Claris Studio, and the second a new program for helping Claris users get the most out of their solutions. The Problem Solvers Circle is, “a development platform that lets you take control, instead of reinventing the wheel, allowing you to continuously innovate to make substantial operational improvements.” Enrollment in the PSC program is limited to the first 500 companies to sign up before June 24th, so contact us soon if you’d like to enjoy its benefits!
We've been getting our servers updated to Claris FileMaker Server 19.4.2 recently and noticed an aspect of the install that it might help others to be aware of. We were using the built in FMWebSite that FileMaker Server installs to allow downloads of an IPA file for testing on a mobile device. This requires defining a couple of custom MIME types in the web server configuration, .plist and .ipa. The FMS installer appears to overwrite the FMWebSite configuration, at least on Windows, and reset the MIME types to the defaults, removing the .ipa and .plist entries we'd created.
One of the newest script steps in FileMaker (added in FileMaker 19.0) is the Execute FileMaker Data API script step. The script step is quite powerful as it allows us to easily interact with the FileMaker Data API by making requests and returning data without having to go through the hoops of creating and authenticating a session.
