As we develop on multiple servers for multiple files we wanted to have one dedicated InspectorPro server that collects all the data. It also shields the DEVservers from the load the primary analysis takes and therefor makes for a smoother development experience.
I will show the tweeks we made to make this work for us -- and am looking forward to a discussion on how to further improve.
In software development many of us are nowadays AI enhanced developers. Claude, Cursor, Codex etc helps us to be more productive and better devs. Have you applied these workflows in FM development?
Idea of this session is to share your way of developing FileMaker solutions with a help of AI. What tools do you use? How do you use them?
Following sessions are in the breakout room to make some fun hands-on development to learn more.
If you have ideas to share before that or want discuss, you're welcome to contact me beforehand by email.
Modern applications rarely exist in isolation. FileMaker solutions increasingly need to connect to payment systems, messaging platforms, accounting software, AI services, and partner systems.
But managing dozens of API integrations across multiple solutions quickly becomes complex and fragile.
In this session, you will be presented a real-world architecture for building an API hub that simplifies integrations for FileMaker solutions. By centralizing external APIs behind a reusable service layer, developers can create scalable, secure, and maintainable integrations.
Using real examples from production systems handling over 150,000 API calls per day, this session explores architecture, redundancy, caching, load balancing, and strategies for managing external services efficiently.
Attendees will learn how to move from simple “Insert from URL” integrations to a modern API-first architecture that makes FileMaker solutions easier to scale and maintain.
Do not rely on AI or vibe coding for your reporting needs!
Reporting in FileMaker can feel limiting as requirements grow. What many teams don’t realise is that a lot of enterprise customers already have access to Power BI through Microsoft 365 — it’s simply sitting there, unused.
That makes Power BI a surprisingly accessible option for serious reporting. In this session, I’ll show how it can complement FileMaker, not replace it — and how to use it properly.
I will show you:
How to prepare your FileMaker database for PowerBI reporting
Setting up the foundations in PowerBI
Some cool visualizations
A couple of technical things that took me a while to figure out, like date tables.
The licensing model: creating dashboards versus sharing…
Why this is relevant for us as Claris Platform consultants.
Your clients found the building. Great. Now they're walking in circles looking for the entrance. Not so great.
In this session you'll learn how to integrate Mapbox interactive maps directly into FileMaker using the Web Viewer with real-time routing, custom markers and the ability to guide your users to the exact entrance of a building. Not just the address. The actual door.
We'll cover everything: dynamic placeholders, transport modes, color customization, and that satisfying moment when the map draws a dotted line straight to the front door.
Oh, and one more thing: this is an AI-free session. No LLMs. No embeddings. Just FileMaker, some HTML, and maps that actually tell people where to go.
I've been teaching free AI Classes every week, and building a large set of AI design patterns and features that provide immediate value to your databases. These are nearly all copy-and-paste soutions.
Incredibly powerful search across your whole db (This is not the simple Semantic search you've seen before)
We will leave together from MuseumsQuartier at 18:30 and travel via tram to the Heuriger Sissi-Huber
Roterdstraße 5 1160 Wien Österreich
sisi-huber.at
There we have ordered a buffet and an initial round of local wine, so that nobody needs to go hungry. If the weather permits, we will sit outside but in case of rain we have a cozy room to draw back to.
Please ensure that you are registered for this event, as additional costs apply.
We will leave together from MuseumsQuart...
