There are certain techniques in FileMaker which may not be immediately usable in your day-to-day work. However, simply knowing about the possibilities expands your mental toolbox - making you a better developer. You're always more equipped when you know both the weaknesses and advantages to the software you're using.

Watch this video to see how you can access a wide range of script triggers and how you might employ this technique is some of your own solutions.
