Pre-Capturing Data
--------------------------------------------------
Creating any type of solution within FileMaker means
you're working with structuring data and planning a user
interface. They just go hand-n-hand.
However, when dealing with the later, you're often
focused on the user interaction portion and not just the
pretty look and feel.
It turns out that FileMaker doesn't provide an obvious
separation between the UI, the UX and Data Structure.
It's all in the same file (or in multiple files).
So, what's a developer to do when they come across a
situation like a kiosk solution? Something where you may
have playful kiddies just mashing on buttons and tire
kickers who start a process but may not finish. Should
the data collection process be broken out from the data
storage?
Maybe... and that's exactly what this video is all
about. It's about pre-capturing your data into a
structure which is detached from the ultimate data
repository.
Any bit of data is valuable, but not all data is
desired. For example, how many times is the kiosk used
by people between the hours of x and y versus how many
new customers are added in that same time frame. If
these are the types of questions you might have in your
own solutions, then watch this video to increase your
FileMaker know-how on pre-capturing data!
