Quick Find - One small field in the status menu bar, one very large advance to making it easier than ever to find your FileMaker data. There will still be call for plugins for some of the more complicated charts, but I know immediately of several customers that are going to be happy. Now many of the types of charts we create can be handled natively. In the past, we’ve had to either use third-party plugins or use a web viewer and a web-based charting tool. As developers we get a fair number of people asking for charts in their systems. Similar to adding a portal or web viewer, the chart object allows you to define the properties of a chart: what data should it use what style of chart (bar, horizontal bar, line, area, or pie) and color, font, and 3D formatting.īy far charting is the most visually exciting new feature, and the one whose value is most readily understood (even if not everyone yet understands how to use them). Here are some initial thoughts on some of 11’s new features and how they’ll impact us.Ĭharting - You can now create charts in your layouts using the new chart object.
In the same way that FileMaker 7 introduced a whole new architecture and FileMaker 8 refined the product with script parameters and results, tab panels, PDF creation, and so on, FileMaker Pro 11 continues the goodness of 10’s updated UI, script triggers, dynamic reports and saved finds. 11 is an evolutionary, not revolutionary, update, but that’s not a bad thing. FileMaker 11 has shipped, and with it come a number of new features and interface enhancements.
