Building a Scheduling Application (Part 11) - Triggering scripts based on user actions
It's a FileMaker developer's dream to trigger a script based on any user action. This includes menus, moving in and out of fields, selecting popup menus and lists, or trigger based on the results of a calculation and more.
Well, FileMaker isn't quite there with providing an event model for controlling user interaction. However, it is possible to cause most of these types of events to happen. Using a free and stable plugin, you can trigger a script based on a popup menu selection or the results of a calculation. This makes it possible for our Scheduling Application to load the details of an event when selecting from month view. Even better, I've added a new feature called QuickAdd. This presents all of the available appointment time slots so an appointment can be quickly added. This is great for a Dr.'s office or similar profession where appointments are based on time blocks.
