   The Separation Model - Part 16 - Merge Fields
   --------------------------------------------------

   The last time I released a video specifically about
   merge fields was in 2007.

   Wow! That's a long time and it's such a powerful and
   frequently used feature. What would a database solution
   be without the ability to send email?

   So, here we are with this Karate App solution and we're
   using the separation model to design and deploy. The
   next addition to the database is the ability to send
   email - so, we need merge fields.

   Using a few custom functions, an admin layout, the
   user interface and some merging creativity, we can
   easily add new fields which can easily be merged into
   any content. By explaining how this process might work
   in your own database, you will quickly realize the
   benefits of integrating this type of system into your
   own solution!

   The Separation Model - Part 17 - Accounts, Passwords & Security
   --------------------------------------------------

   Security is one of those funny words. One dictionary
   definition is "the state of feeling safe, stable, and
   free from fear or anxiety".

   While it may be hard to be completely "free from fear or
   anxiety" (when it comes to your data), you can certainly
   lock things down so it's SUPER hard for any "bad guy" to
   get anything of value.

   Questions like "Is FileMaker secure" are pretty general,
   and given that FileMaker is just a tool, you're the
   responsible party for making sure things keep you free
   from that "fear or anxiety".

   Since your FileMaker solution will inevitably need to
   reach out beyond itself, using external services, there
   are many situations where you need to secure things as
   much as possible.

   In this video, I walk through accounts, passwords and
   security. Not FileMaker's accounts and passwords mind
   you - the accounts and passwords of your users and
   external services. I cover topics related to storing
   passwords within the database itself and how to go about
   securing access to external services used by your
   solution.

   If you've not taken the time to learn the difference
   between a digest hash and encrypted data, and how you
   might use one versus the other, then watching this video
   will certainly help you out!
