CLASS: Working With FileMaker
VERSION: All Current Versions

There are some FileMaker solutions that use a single file to view the data in many files. This technique is often referred to as a dashboard in my FileMaker conversations. A dashboard technique (often role based) is where all the critical information is found in one layout and you don’t need to navigate to multiple layouts to perform a work process. The idea is that one layout may have all your critical information and you don’t need to leave that layout to get your work done.

FileMaker Inc. continues to make enhancements to FileMaker Pro that empowers the developer in creating dashboard like interfaces. This includes things like tabs, the web viewer and object orientated programming.
