Display Complex FileMaker Web Viewers in WebDirect
Mike examines the functionality of two of FileMaker’s features, the Web Viewer and WebDirect and how they work together to display complex HTML with javascript.
FileMaker WebDirect
FileMaker WebDirect allows you to run your FileMaker applications online, in a web browser. It empowers your business to encourage outsider users to interact with your data without needing a FileMaker login. This functionality is ideal for businesses with a customer or partner base who submits their information with self-service capabilities. They can do so online without requiring a purchase of additional licenses.
Our team of FileMaker developers and consultants have built dozens of FileMaker WebDirect implementations to help our clients expand upon their existing application functionality. We help them reach their many key audiences, including customers, partners, employees, and even vendors.
We’re sharing our top FileMaker WebDirect insights below. If you need help implementing this functionality in your application, contact our team to get started.
