Conflict Detection for FileMaker 19 Calendars

March 14, 2021

We’ve updated our example scripts for notifying users that they may be creating a conflict. Earlier versions of the script were for DayBack Classic, and now we’ve added example code for the new DayBack for FileMaker 19. This customization is a great example of intercepting the event-editing script in FileMaker and reverting changes to an event if your script deems it necessary. Watch a video of this in...

Case Study: Resource Scheduling in FileMaker 19

“We cut our planning meeting time by 50%. We are now able to spend more time refining our backlog instead of mechanically completing our schedule. We are super excited about this!” – Jeremy Verrillio, Vice President, CIPS Happy to share this integration of DayBack Calendar with the FileMaker solution Jeremy Verrillio created for Comprehensive Injury Prevention Solutions (CIPS). Our blog post at dayback.com describes the strategies employed, including...

Refresh DayBack When Events Are Changed By Other Users

January 2, 2021

Is this your DayBack story? You have users who are primarily using one calendar view for a long time, and another user updates an event.  In a busy scheduling environment–like a call center–how does everyone know that something has changed? Normally other users won’t see these changes until they change a filter, change their view, or click the calendar’s refresh button. This can slow folks down or poorly...

Automatic Resource Filtering

October 18, 2020

DayBack is designed to be customized, and you can transform both the way it behaves and the way it looks. KC Embrey’s latest customization adds a new button to automate resource filters. You might need this if you have many resources (people, equipment, or rooms) and want to see a scheduling grid but don’t want to see blank rows for all the resources that don’t have any appointments....

Improved Charts for Resource Scheduling in FileMaker 19

September 20, 2020

The latest update to DayBack for FileMaker 19 improves charting options when plotting resources activities against your goals. On the Pivot-List view, you’ll now find an option to combine all the resource activities into a single curve when charting activity over time. This means it’s now easier to chart a team’s performance, instead of just individual resources’ performance. Here’s what this looks like in action: In this example,...

FileMaker 19 Calendar Add-On

June 10, 2020

We’ve packaged up DayBack Calendar as an add-on: and if you watch the video below, I think you’ll agree that FileMaker 19 add-ons are a game-changer for developers. What Are FileMaker 19 Add-Ons? “Add-on” can refer to both the new objects being inserted into your file–a chart widget, for example, could be called an add-on. And “add-on” can refer to the way those objects are added to your...

New – DayBack Calendar for FileMaker 19

May 24, 2020

Here it is. The best calendar we’ve ever built is also the easiest to integrate and customize. We’ve been eagerly anticipating a few of the changes in FileMaker 19 that let high-end add-ons like DayBack integrate seamlessly with FileMaker. And we’ve done a lot of work to make sure FileMaker developers can customize every aspect of the calendar. All the calendar features we’ve deployed to Salesforce and Google...

Reschedule Multiple Events

March 23, 2020

Your calendar’s latest power-up: now select multiple events and reschedule them all at once. Multiple-selection is a free in-app update to DayBack for FileMaker. Here’s how it works… Multiple-selection makes it easier to reschedule whole projects and to shift your plans from one day to another. Do More • Drag events to reschedule them or to change their resource or status. • A single undo is available, making...

Color Coding Your FileMaker Calendar by Resource

March 8, 2020

By default, DayBack color-codes your events by their status: more precisely, by whatever you’ve mapped to the status field. Coloring by status makes sense since many of DayBack’s scheduling views already put events into their own columns or rows by resources. But if you’d like to add a second color for the event’s resource, you can do that by changing the event styling in DayBack to add a...

Resource Scheduling Grid in FileMaker

December 25, 2019

DayBack’s scheduling grids highlight gaps in your schedule across multiple weeks, so you know if you’re on track or overextended. These multi-week views are designed to be customized, and we’ve recently helped a customer create an exquisite depiction of their workload. A Customized Scheduling Grid SeedCode’s Ann Kiser customized this view in collaboration with our customer, Pär-Anders Björklund, from Linjepunkt Repro in Sweden. Linjepunkt offers high-end retouching and image...
