Here are some sample files of interesting FileMaker techniques. For the moment, there's only one, but more will be added in the future.

Reordering Lists |
There is no great way to reorder a group of records. Unlike a program like OmniOutliner, you can't simply reorder records by dragging them above another record. Developers often use arrows to move records up or down in a list, or require the user to enter a new order.Here's something interesting I came up with that allows you to physically reorder a list. The example uses playing cards to illustrate the point, but it will work just as well for a list of records. I added a second method of reordering lists that uses a portal. Just click on the record you want to move and then click on the place you want to insert it. |
