Global fields are unique to each guest and are initialized upon closing of the file and default, on open, to the last value entered while in single-user mode. If you are creating a multi-user solution, the differences, when compared to a single-user solution, are vast. However, it is important to test your single-user solution with a reasonable number of records to make sure it performs adequately. Sure, you need to consider screen resolution for desktop monitor and device variation, as well as fonts and graphics for cross-platform compatibility, but the way you design your solution will not be affected by the network available, unless you are using a Web Viewer or other remote content to supplement your single-user solution. Just design a solution that works on your desktop or mobile device and it will work on just about any desktop or mobile device. There is no need to worry about network speed, global field behavior, web browsers or record locking. The easiest design scenario is single-user. Is it a single-user solution running off the local hard drive? Is it a multi-user database with all users accessing from the LAN? Maybe there is a occasional remote access from someone at home? What if the company is distributed across the United States and needs a completely cloud based solution? Maybe some users won't always have an internet connection? It could be that some users don’t even have FileMaker? These are some important questions to ask yourself or your client before beginning the design phase of a solution. How you design a FileMaker solution often depends on how it will be accessed. I'm not saying it's anywhere close to the impact of the Apple Super Bowl commercial but it's fun to have a look. It was one of those favor things so it only played once. Always use the IsEmpty function.Ĭlaris Commercial Few people know that Claris produced a commercial and it aired on national television. While this method may work some of the time, it can fail in some situations. IsEmpty I have seen many people, even expert FileMaker developers, check for an empty field by comparing it to to double quotes (""). The Philosophy of FileMaker recommends PCI!
