This new portal tool allows you to create a found set and have the portal represent the records in that found set. In this video, we take a look at the new Master-Detail layout. Video 4: FileMaker 17 Master-Detail Layout Now, with FileMaker 17, you can send email with multiple attachments from inside FileMaker using either an email client or an SMTP server. Let’s take a moment to applaud FileMaker for adding in native support for this feature! For years, the only way users were able to send emails with multiple attachments from FileMaker was via a plug-in (such as our Outlook Manipulator or Exchange Manipulator). Video 3: FileMaker 17 Send Email with Multiple Attachments In the video, we also share a pro-tip for creating custom keyboard shortcuts for FileMaker to open the inspector windows similar to how it did in the previous version of FileMaker. The new FileMaker 17 Fields tab has a lot of the same functionality as the FileMaker 16 Field Picker, but with some great enhancements such as the Control Style for new fields and the ability to rename fields directly in the tab. With FileMaker 17, when you go into layout mode you will notice two new tabs on the left pane of the layout – the Fields tab and then the Objects tab. In this video, we use the Core4 CRM as a sample FileMaker app to demonstrate the changes and new features in the Fields tab, Objects tab and Inspector window.

Just a note: in order to create an Add-On table, you need to have a Primary Key so the table has enough information to function properly. The Add-On table option gives you the ability to create various types of related data in a portal and it not only creates the portal, it creates all the schema to make the portal operational.

However, adding an Add-On table does not necessarily mean it will create a new layout for you. This window provides you with a number of predefined tables that includes the appropriate schema, scripts, value lists and more. This is a brand new feature in FileMaker 17. Our first five videos are highlighted below for your learning pleasure! Video 1: FileMaker 17 Add-On Tables Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing (or if you are reading this from the future we’ve already released) a series of videos discussing the new features in FileMaker 17.
