Bulletproof Custom Dialogs

By Jason Young, SolutionMakers
The challenges facing FileMaker developers keep evolving as FileMaker continues to become more powerful with each new release. In my relatively short development career I now find myself developing solutions in what could be considered “Enterprise” environments.

With new features in FileMaker 9, such as ESS, this trend is certain to continue. However, the requirements of these solutions can be considerably more demanding than the small workgroups many of us grew up with. Detailed audit logs, transaction tables and even rollbacks are becoming standard features expected from a FileMaker solution. Fortunately, with tools like script-managed windows, script parameters and results, developers can create custom dialogs for controlling and capturing users’ interactions.

Contract Wizard from The Contract Management Company
The Contract Wizard is the only tool that uses an expert rules engine to allow virtually anyone to produce quality legal documents in very little time. Other contract management tools contain templates and store clauses. But no other tool provides an easy-to-use format for automatically selecting the right clauses. Users simply answer a series of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and the Wizard finds the appropriate clauses and produces a fully formatted MS Word document.
