   Hidden Utility Windows
   ---------------

   If you haven't used them before, then it's
   probably time you should check them out. What
   I'm talking about are Hidden Utility Windows
   or the more commonly referred to "Off-screen
   Windows".

   This has been a common developer trick in many
   software solutions. FileMaker is no stranger
   to this process. The know-how behind this
   trick, however, may be more simple than you
   think - or could be more simple than you're
   used to.

   By creating some generalized routines, we can
   optimize the process of creating and using
   off-screen windows for the purpose of
   state-saving scripting. This video will
   present all the information you need in order
   to get a handle on using these useful tools!

   User Dashboards
   ---------------

   Software users want to accomplish things as
   painlessly as possible. They want the big
   picture, they want it fast, and they becoming
   quite used to it. With companies like Google
   making it seem so simple to manage so much
   information, you can't afford to have your
   database look and feel like a software
   dinosaur.

   You need to present the information from your
   solution in the most accessible and efficient
   manner possible. The most popular method of
   doing this is via a user Dashboard. A central
   location where each user of the software can
   call it their "home". It used to be that
   providing a menu of options, or the "Button
   Jungle" as I like to call it, was the "common
   thing to do" in a software solution -
   especially a database.

   In this new world of software sophistication,
   presenting a user Dashboard is par for the
   course. The question you may have is "How can
   I add this to my solution as painlessly as
   possible?". Well, I'm always glad you ask,
   because it affords me the opportunity to
   simply show you how. Here's a video which
   walks through the finer points, and easy
   steps, to implement a fully flexible user
   Dashboard!
