Script & Graph Tips <<<< FREE VIDEO
---------------
It happened just a few months ago. It's one of those things you wish you'd done a while ago. It saves so much time, and makes things much easier. What was it?
I broke some bad habits when working within ScriptMaker (oops, it's not called that anymore - but it's such a good name). I started using Copy/Paste for script editing instead of using the Duplicate button. Yeah, maybe this should have been a no brainer, but there are other tips that come along with using the useful copy/paste. Doing a lot of editing, of your scripts, using the keyboard can be a big time-saver. The trick is to force yourself to do it that way. Don't click the 'New' or 'Duplicate' buttons within ScriptMaker. If you start to - then stop!
I also started using more and more visual clues about how my graph relates to the user interface and data structure. Granted, these are things FileMaker, Inc. should integrate into the graph (I personally suggested them to the FileMaker UI team back when the Graph first showed up), but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do in order to make sense of your own organizational mess.
Hopefully, this video with provide some time-saving tips about working in FileMaker Pro and help you develop your solutions that much faster.
