For the first time, developers and users will have the tools to be able to manipulate Microsoft Outlook data DIRECTLY THROUGH A FILEMAKER PRO INTERFACE! Along with suppressing the Outlook security dialog the plug-in can exchange data with Microsoft Outlook Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Mail, Notes and Journal for the “user’s” default folder. With the plug-in you can program scripts that allow you to populate Outlook with data from FileMaker and vice versa.

myFMbutler’s eID & SIS plug-in allows you to import the following data into your FileMaker databases:

• general data (name & first name(s), date of birth etc.) – both eID & SIS
• address data – eID only
• additional data – eID only
• picture – eID only
• card info – eID only

• Scribe can read and write Excel documents. Scribe can read and write any cell in Excel (Excel 2007 or later). For example, let’s say that a vendor or client of yours uses Excel order forms that you need to enter into your FileMaker database. With Scribe, you can create a FileMaker script that will read all of the order form fields and insert them into FileMaker fields with no manual data entry! Because Scribe can also write to Excel, you could do the same thing in reverse too: Use data in your FileMaker solution to automatically fill out an Excel order form.

• Scribe can read and write Word documents. Scribe can find and replace text in Microsoft Word documents (Word 2007 or later). You can use this to create customized documents from templates in Word. It can also retrieve field names, and read and write form fields in Word created with the Content Controls feature of Word.
• Scribe can read and write PDF forms. If you have a PDF form that users download from your web site and then send back to you, you can use Scribe to automatically read their form inputs and insert them into fields in FileMaker records. Since Scribe can also write to PDF fields, you could use this to automate a workflow that requires you to fill out PDF forms and send them to somebody else.

Let’s say that you’re storing documents in FileMaker. You can store the documents in a container, but how will your user be able to search for the documents? The answer is Scribe. It will extract all of the human-readable text from any Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, RTF file, or even JPEG metadata. This text can then be stored in a searchable, indexed field in FileMaker so that your users can search for any document based on its contents!

The currently supported file formats (and we’ll be adding more) are:

• PDF (.pdf)
• Microsoft Word Documents (.doc)
• Microsoft Excel (.xls)
• Rich Text Format (.rtf)
• Plain-text (.txt)
• HTML (.html, .htm)
• Jpeg EXIF data(.jpg)

If you have a database with word documents, and you want to be able to search on the contents of those documents, you need Textractor! Just store the extracted text in an indexed field in FileMaker, and do searches on that.

• Validate e-mails
• Convert special characters
• Strip out HTML codes, leaving plain text
• Find every link in an HTML document
• Case-sensitive text processing

In addition, we’ve added a highlighting feature which allows you to highlight all of the matching text patterns, instead of replacing them. This allows you to easily do things like:

• Add a “Google” feature to your FileMaker searches which highlights search terms in the results
• Flag items in text. For example, if you were writing a proposal in FileMaker and put all of the [missing items that you need more info on] in square brackets, you could make all of those items appear in red.

The 360Works Email Plugin offers the following advantages over FileMaker’s built-in mail functionality:

• Works with Instant Web Publishing
• Send multiple attachments/inline attachments in a single message
• Send multipart formatted (HTML, etc) emails
• Speedy delivery of many messages by re-using a single connection to the server
• Set custom email headers
• Retrieve email from POP/IMAP mailboxes

It can also be used to workaround the FileMaker runtime’s limitation of not being able to output to PDF files, as it comes with a virtual PDF printer which you can use to dynamically create PDFs from FileMaker output.

Features:

• switch printers on the fly from within your FileMaker application
• send dynamic FileMaker output to PDF, using the filename and location of your choice
• select any printer driver that is installed on your system

A single user license costs $80, but if you have ever been frustrated by multiple printer issues in FileMaker, this will most likely seem a very reasonable price. A developer license supporting an unlimited number of applications with each upto 25 users is also available for $825.

• Extensive Setup Dialog – If CNS Audit’s default logging preferences do not completely suit your situation, you can use the Setup Dialog to define exactly which fields to log as well as any Custom Log Fields you need. In the 1.0 version release, the Setup Dialog will have even more.
• Custom Log Fields – Add Custom Log Fields to the database where you define calculations to evaluate for the values of the Custom Log Fields.
