Unlimited Infinite Hierarchies
----------------------------------

You've always been able to implement Hierarchies within FileMaker Pro - even back in version 3 - at least from a data standpoint. You can easily use two fields to manage a Parent to Child relationship. However, the biggest problem of understanding, implementing and using hierarchies rears its ugly head when it comes to managing and allowing users to interact with them.

Along comes FileMaker 10 (which the referenced file requires) and you're now able to more easily manage an unlimited number of hierarchies based on any tables or records in your solution and each hierarchy can have an infinite number of rows. There are no limitations based on table occurrences when you understand the data structure of how it all works.

The remaining problems to solve are related to user interaction with the Hierarchy and maintaining state of collapsed and expanded rows.

If you've always wanted a deep understanding of how to use these "folder trees" (know as posets in Hierarchy mathematics), you'll be hard pressed to find better information about getting them into FileMaker Pro!

#2. ADD GRADIENTS EASILY USING GRADIENT MAKER
-------------------------------------------------------

Are your layouts looking a bit awkward?

Light and shadows contribute to how we see the world. Should your layouts be any different?

One of the best ways to enhance the look of your layouts is through the use of gradients.

The problem is creating them. I personally used to use another piece of software (Photoshop). Now I rarely even open it when creating my FileMaker layouts! I can create highly optimized gradients right within FileMaker. A quick drag-n-drop and I'm making better-looking layouts.

Download a copy right now and take a look!
