Portals, continued & explained
We build a portal from the courses screen into the enrollments table, allowing us to see who is enrolled in each course. We look quickly at how and why that works
More Scripts – Intro to Portals
We adapt the same script that we wrote for generating class lists in order to generate a list of student classes. We also start taking a look at how to view related data through portals
Class Lists Continued – Extending Scripts
We elaborate our scripts a bit to fully automate the process of generating class lists.
Saving time with buttons and scripts
We flesh out our Course interface screen and build some buttons and scripts to expedite printing class lists
Class Lists Continued
We build the flip side of a class list – a student enrollment list, showing all the courses each student is taking.
Crafting Print Layouts – Class Lists
We continue our work with the enrollment table, and look at how to build a clean-looking class list.
Enrollment, Part II
We continue to fill out our enrollment table and begin working it into class lists
Creating an Enrollment Table
We implement the “enrollment table” concept we developed in excel and add courses to our FileMaker application
Getting Into Class Lists
We talk about “Excel-think” and how to avoid it in FileMaker (and in excel!)
Taking a moment to plan – building in a planning table
We take a minute to build a table just to house our planning notes. We explore how to time and datestamp each record when it’s created or modified, and we start looking at how to build our own buttons.
