Now, Gmail DOT NOT know what to do with the FMP protocol so it just breaks the URL and funky things happen.

If you’re on a Mac and use Messages or email this is great!īut then I ran into a problem where my client’s law firm relies on Gmail for their primary communication AND they are using it from a web browser. Then if you copy and paste this into apps it’ll open the database. You can generate nice links such as this:įmp:///SomeDB.fmp12?script=open_project_link¶m=PROJECTID AppleScript can help with that.Īnother method is the fmpURL protocol. The problem with the Snapshot link is that you’ll have to remove it once you spit it out to the Desktop. Or we can script generating a Snapshot Link. When you work in a database you can always give someone a Project number when you need to refer to a Project. In later versions of FileMaker we have Snapshot Links. In this article we’ll look at how you can link to a record using redirect with FileMaker and PHP. Let’s Learn How We Can Link to A Record Using Redirect Add more layers with more data if needed (in my case my school is the other layer).It will ask you to dedicate the data for the pins (address) and the next step is to dedicate a column for your label (full name) Add a new layer, name it whatever you want to import your data into.I wanted to see kids and their location (full name, address, city, zip) Export the data you want to be mapped in CSV format.
Turns out this was the easiest task, ever, so I thought I’d share the steps. Especially, since this map we can’t just have in the database but rather we need to share it with the DOE. So at first I thought about what software/plug-in I should use, then I realized I can create a map with Google Maps with layers. He said he DOE may not want to provide buses for a child if he/she lives too far, and we need to make an argument that the child should be bused to the school.” The client said the Department of Education needs to map out the bus routed for the students. Today I was asked to create a map using FileMaker to show all the students that are accepted to my client’s school.
