FileMaker certainly supports embedding PDFs within container fields and HTML is quite easily integrated into Web Viewers. They're pretty much agreed up by all major operating systems and the users who use them. Outside of plain text, you can't get much more standard than HTML and PDF. Need more control over your value lists? This video and technique file will provide the answers! Tags:Įxternal links User-based Value Lists Interdependent Value Lists You can combine both dynamic and static values and you can also control the order in which they are presented. In this video, I show you a simple solution which provides all of the functionality missing above. You can't programmatically add to it, nor can you subtract from it. It's either all values from a given field or related values through a relationship.įileMaker only provides you with one type of output, an ascending sorted value list according to the index of the field. They're typically coming from the data within your solution. The problem is, most value lists are not static. You know, the one where you type in the literal values. It's neither obvious nor inherently possible to control the order in which values are presented in anything other than an explicit value list.
Within FileMaker, value lists are one of those areas where you may feel like you simply don't have the amount of control you should have. Wasn't there some slogan for 40 years somewhere that said "Have it your way."? If people - developers in particular - can control the output, then life is good. People like to have things their own preferred way.
