FileMaker 2023 is the latest version of the Claris FileMaker platform, a software tool that allows you to create custom apps for your business needs. FileMaker 2023 was released in late April 2023 and includes several enhancements and new features that improve the performance, scalability, security, and integration of your apps.
Some of the notable new features in FileMaker 2023 are:
• OnWindowTransaction script trigger: This is a file-level script trigger that runs after a transaction is successfully committed. It can be used to build robust audit logging by capturing record create, edit, and delete operations.
• Perform Script on Server with Callback script step: This script step allows you to send scripts off to the server for processing without waiting for completion, but then fire a local script when the server process is complete. This can improve the user experience and productivity by allowing them to continue working while the server handles long processes.
• Trigger Claris Connect Flow script step: This script step makes it easier to trigger workflows in Claris Connect, a service that allows you to integrate your FileMaker apps with other apps like Slack, Twilio, Outlook, and more. You can use the free tier of Claris Connect to access up to 10 integrations and 2,000 API calls per month.
• More hosting capacity: FileMaker 2023 allows you to host up to 256 files and support up to 1,000 simultaneous WebDirect users (on Ubuntu Linux only). This increases the scalability of your apps and allows you to serve more users without compromising performance.
• Updated security protocols: FileMaker 2023 supports Open SSL 3.0, Send Mail with OAuth 2.0 authentication, and audit logging through a new script trigger. These features help you protect your data and comply with security standards.
• Backend infrastructure upgrades: FileMaker 2023 runs on updated technologies like OData 4.01, Java 17, Node.js 18, and more. These upgrades improve the efficiency and reliability of your apps.
• Dark Mode support for Relationship Graph: FileMaker 2023 allows you to switch to Dark Mode when working on the Relationship Graph, a tool that shows how tables are related in your app. This can reduce eye strain and improve visibility.
FileMaker 2023 is an incremental update to the existing FileMaker 19.6 platform, which means that it is compatible with existing apps and does not require any major changes to your code or workflows. However, it does offer significant 犀利士
benefits in terms of performance, scalability, security, and integration that can help you create more powerful operational apps for your business.
