Cool Tiger features

Two of Mac OS X Tiger's coolest 200+ new features are Dashboard and Automator. Dashboard is home to the widgets, little mini-applications that zoom across your desktop giving you instant access to all kinds of information. Automator is like having your very own personal robot. With Automator, you can quickly create custom workflows to do all those time-consuming, repetitive tasks without programming.

We have developed the FileMaker Datagraph Dashboard Widget and FileMaker Automator Actions to help you get the most out of FileMaker Pro running on Mac OS X Tiger. We have posted this software so that you can learn more about FileMaker and a a starting point for solutions you might like to create. It is provided free of charge, on an AS IS basis, and without warranties or support of any kind.
