Scripting with FileMaker Pro 12

One day of instructor-led, hands-on training

Focus

This class introduces scripting for those already familiar with FileMaker Pro and are seeking to develop more useful solutions. You’ll explore detailed handouts (useful later for reference), participate in active discussions and try out what you learn on the computer.

You’ll find out how to use scripts to automate common searches, edit data, generate reports, and send emails. We’ll explore dialogs, logical branching, looping, script triggers, variables, and script parameters. And you will get to ask about your specific interests.

This one-day class completes our four-day Core Curriculum. Each course can be taken separately, or together in one week. This class is ideal for students who have previously attended our Intermediate FileMaker Pro training, or have equivalent experience working with fields, layouts, and calculations.

Note: This class is taught using the newest version of FileMaker Pro, version 12, but skills taught in this class apply to earlier versions as well.

Benefits

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to:

Use a dialog to ask a user what they want to do
Create “hyperlinks” between related records
Understand how events can trigger scripts
Tie multiple small scripts together as “building blocks”
Use conditional logic and loops to create more complex automation

Who should take this class

You should take this class if you have already been using FileMaker Pro (or have just completed our Intermediate FileMaker Pro course), and you now want to create more sophisticated solutions, possibly for other people.
