Here is our wish list of features that we would love to see in FileMaker Pro. These are not in any particular order nor is it a complete list. Enjoy!
- Dynamic Portal Sorting with out having to create a million portals or manipulate the data
- Calculations on the Fly. Love to be able to do a calculation in a merge field for example.
- Calculations outside of having to create new field definitions. Defined in a query
- Select Distinct!
- Sub-Layouts. Have a master form with sub-layouts which pull from different table occurrences. This would help in building dashboard type views
- Closing dialog box that would let the user know the file is being saved and not to say disconnect from their VPN until it is done.
- Native Progress bars.
- True sever side functions such as deleting and sorting records, etc. Tell the server to delete or sort the records rather than having the client do all the work.
- Gradiant Visual Effect
- Less Screen Flicker in redraws
- Cross Tab reporting. Need we say more?
- Icons/Graphics in Dialog boxes
- Send HTML email without use of a Plugin
- Built in Barcode support without plugin/fonts
- Of course it would be great to have FileMaker Pro and Server be 64 bit.
- Better debugging tools when FileMaker Server crashes.
- True type ahead in a quick search
- Container fields that can create thumbnails of the picture stored
- Save to a word doc without plug-ins / XSLT
