We’ve been sending lots of calendar invitations from FileMaker as part of our DayBack deployments. The best workflow we’ve found invites the recipient to an event rather than creating the event right on the recipient’s calendar. This approach offers many advantages, including polling for the recipient’s response to see if they have accepted the invitation (screenshot below) Get the Unlocked Example File Jason Young packaged this into an...
We have two new open positions; one for an advanced FileMaker developer for custom projects, and one for a customer support role with JavaScript experience. Details, salary range, benefits, and an outline of the hiring process can all be found here: Working with Us.
DayBack for FileMaker allows you to drag-select multiple events on the calendar and drag to reschedule them all at once. But what if you’d like to do something besides changing their date or time? You may want to delete them all at once or change their status. Now you can add buttons to the calendar that will operate against the selected group of events. In this example, we’ve...
We’ve collected nearly 100 of the most popular calendar customizations into a searchable library, making it easier than ever to change the way your calendar behaves. FileMaker Calendar Customizations Many of these mods are things you can paste right into your DayBack. Others you’ll want to download and modify. And a few will require our help to deploy. But most have example code and videos so that you...
Building realistic schedules gives customers confidence that you’ll keep your promises. Now DayBack gives your dispatchers the confidence to make those promises by visualizing drive times and distances in your schedule. In this example, the DayBack compares a day’s mileage across a field service team: SeedCode offers ProMaps as a stand-alone mapping template for FileMaker. ProMaps supports routes and filtering. But adding mapping inside DayBack can mean better scheduling...
Mapping and distance math are a big part of our calendar customizations. DayBack can warn schedulers if there is insufficient drive-time between appointments or if another asset is closer to the customer that week. And our ProMaps app lets developer add mapping into their own projects. Occasionally we take this mapping expertise in entirely new directions. In this case study, engineering firm Marx|Okubo wanted to email damage assessment...
Introduction to AI in FileMaker Building an automated invoice processing app to scan, and code invoice line items using OCR and AI in FileMaker For the last few years, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work as the primary developer on the custom FileMaker app for Blueprint Capital REIT, a real estate lending and development firm based in Seattle, WA. Although their app uses and integrates with a variety...
Now filter your resources by skill or location to focus on just the resources needed for a particular job. Resources get a big upgrade in this release of DayBack for FileMaker 19: you can now add a description and any number of tags to your resources. The new resource filter sees these tags so you can quickly narrow the schedule down to your relevant assets. Watch a video...
Single Page Applications (SPAs) have a significant advantage over traditional multi-page applications in that they load assets when a client initially accesses the app. This means that routing can be very fast; the user doesn’t have to load a new HTML file every time they navigate within the application. But this advantage also creates a unique problem: after deployment, users will only have the latest version of your...
KC Embrey has written a custom action to turn the “new event” button in DayBack into a calendar selector. This lets you make new events even faster and is the basis for creating event templates. Here’s a short video of this mod in action: KC wrote the original version back in May but just updated it to work in DayBack for FileMaker 19, since FileMaker’s web viewer blocks...
