The process, at its basic level, involves grouping a set of objects together on a defined layout and then running a new FileMaker 19 script step to package up the relevant items in the file as an add-on. The following document explains how to create an add-on. Pretty cool! The Kanban Board add-on comes with many scripts, layouts, value lists, and a few tables. We’ve already seen even the simplest add-on of a button bar that displays a checked or unchecked icon. An add-on can be complex, like a Kanban board (using a web viewer, three layouts, and multiple scripts and multiple custom functions), or an add-on can be a simple collection of global fields and scripts that process credit card information. What is an Add-On?Īn add-on is a package of FileMaker tables (including data–see the Data section to understand this), table occurrences, layouts, scripts, custom functions, themes, custom menus, and layout objects that work together to add additional functionality to a custom app. So here’s what we’ve learned (or at least most of it we’ll follow up this post with additional ones describing more details). We’ve wrestled with the process, found many issues, and have worked with Claris to fix those issues. Here is everything we learned about how to create add-ons using the current FileMaker 19 release. We at Geist Interactive worked closely with Claris to build FileMaker add-ons for the platform–those add-ons we’ve all heard about in previews or heard about in podcasts ( here and here). In his post, he describes the ways in which FileMaker the platform is opened to other developers coming in to add functionality. The most recent release of FileMaker Pro, version 19, the Claris’ first Open Platform Release.
