![]() If a layout’s default view is Table View, the layout displays in a different view. Script steps or script step options that change the view to Table View are not supported. Web users can choose layouts and different layout views, but they cannot add, delete, or modify fields, layouts, scripts, relationships, value lists, or other database schema.įileMaker WebDirect does not support Table View. See Step 2: Understand the capabilities of FileMaker WebDirect and Design considerations.Ĭonnecting through the internet or an intranetĪlthough FileMaker WebDirect is similar to FileMaker Pro, it does not have all the features of a FileMaker Pro client. For example, an image that extends across the boundary between the header and body parts of a layout can be in only one part, so the image is cropped at the boundary between the parts it spans. Objects in HTML5 observe a true parent-child hierarchy-that is, a child object is always contained within a single parent object. The custom app's host also sets record locks, activates script triggers, fetches data, and manages layout and data caches. ![]() For example, key presses and mouse clicks that are handled by FileMaker Pro must be sent from FileMaker WebDirect to FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud. The FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud deployment does most of the work for the FileMaker WebDirect client. Limitations that are inherent to the web also apply to FileMaker WebDirect. Most web applications don’t have hundreds of interactive objects or large, high-resolution images because web browsers cannot render them quickly enough and can be slowed by poor network connections. Layouts should reflect standard best practices on the web.Įvery object, style, image, and interaction on a layout means more data transferred from the Database Server to the web browser, so consider carefully what to include on a layout.
