Each database launcher can optionally include a Script to be executed after the file opens. Databases can either be located on the device or on a remote host. You can combine one or more database launchers into a single profile. Here’s a summary from FileMaker:įileMaker Go App Maker v1.0.3 is a free tool that generates iOS Configuration Profiles that can be used to add launch icons to the Home Screen on an iPad or iPhone. This ability to access a specific FileMaker app from the Home screen allows a FileMaker app to be used in a very similar way to native iOS apps. recently released a FileMaker app that gives users the ability to generate icons that will launch users directly into a FileMaker app (local to an iOS device or hosted by FileMaker Server). Note: We tested this using FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced with Mac OS X 10.8.5, FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced with Windows Server 2008 R2, and FileMaker Go 13.0.5 with iOS 7.1.2.FileMaker Inc.

But this method doesn’t seem to work in FileMaker Go.

Note, in FileMaker Pro, you can also delete a file using the Export Field Contents step if you specify the file name and path but don’t specify a field. If we run the Export Records script step, making sure to empty out the found set first, the file will be deleted. We have no “Delete File” script step but do have a workaround. However, now we need to delete the file after inserted into the container field. But because this doesn’t seem to work properly in FileMaker Go, we must use the Documents path. We would like to use the temporary path to store the PDF file, because then it would automatically be deleted once FileMaker closes. We list the PDF files below the FileMaker files, so you may need to scroll down first. If you have an fmp12 file currently open, you will need to go to your Home view first (tap the icon in the upper-left) and then select “Device” on the left side. By the way, when using FileMaker Go, you can see the PDFs that are in the Get(DocumentsPath) location, if there are any there at all, by selecting “Device” from the left side of the screen.
