Todo List and Feature Requests

We've got a huge backlog of ideas and things todo in BE and this is an attempt to get them both down on paper and in public, in the hope that it inspires us to work more actively ( and publicly ) on the things that are important.

This was put together from version 19.4 onwards, so anything that has gone into the Completed list was added after 19.4.  Obviously this could change, and some things may get done quickly, or may be put off if they turn out to be more work than expected.

And if you'd like to influence what's on this list, send us a request with the contact link above.

Todo list :

  1. Allow you to manually match up files for the comparison report.  This way you can compare files that have been renamed more easily, eg DEV_ for dev work in progress vs live solutions.
  2. Change the count for PSOS connections to not be included in the user counts so single user licences can do server side importing.
  3. Server side scheduled imports.  Add an option to allow you to copy XML files to FileMaker server and have a schedule that will pick up new summary files in a server folder and process them automatically.
  4. Run Reports server side.
  5. Restore and improve the Theme Builder Report.
  6. Optimise the consolidation report to also do moving of tables from one file to another, and build in a while copy/paste section to allow automation as much as possible.

Ideas :

  • Add Ons Decoder
  • Option to do shared versions of the prefs file and allow clip sharing.
  • Better Log reporting and analysis.
  • Fancy XML editor for clips.
  • Search and Replace within clips - using smarts to replace within certain sections. 
  • More print options for a solution "summary", including Home Screen and statistics.
  • Privileges overview.
  • CSS decoding
  • Work out how to do something like a Dash docset from FileMaker. 
  • Build in "Goals" that let you work towards certain outcomes.

There's a bunch more little things and ideas and bits and pieces I keep in a todo list, but if you're super keen on anything in particular here, let us know.
