I was never able to get that rectified (huge company, IT not very interested in small needs) but it was only Pro settings so not that crucial. Do I have this right?Ī problem I had with the last installation of FIleMaker (Pro 15) onto Windows clients was that our IT department… uh, forgot to follow my instructions about install settings. It sounds like if assisted install is NOT used, any user would be able to change those custom menus back to regular menus and thereby access unintended commands. We have a multi-file database that uses custom menus in almost every file (total of 20) to limit access to certain commands, such as “Delete Record”, that are scripted by necessity. We’re currently running FMPro 15, FMServer 15, and two copies of FMAdvanced 15 for admin personnel. I’m planning to move our users to Filemaker 17. We’re happy to help your team determine the best way to leverage them within your FileMaker solution. If you have any questions about how to use these FileMaker Pro Advanced tools or any other new features included in FileMaker 17, please contact our team. This way, they can learn more about FileMaker Pro Advanced and use it more effectively.
With this in mind, I encourage you to provide these features to your users when appropriate. Used as training tools, the Script Debugger and Data Viewer can help educate a new generation of talented citizen developers. While I realize all users don’t need the advanced tools, I think it’s great that they are now an option for everyone. Why Show the FileMaker Pro Advanced Tools? However, it looks like it is possible to change the Windows registry (see comment from BMC Process). I’m not aware of a change you can make to the Mac property list files in order to change your current installation.
Without these tools, you could limit your ability to troubleshoot the issue effectively.įurthermore, when you disable advanced tools, you might have to reinstall in order to re-enable them again. You can makie use of the Script Debugger and Data Viewer to analyze what’s going on. One major drawback to this approach is that when a user encounters an issue, you may want to work with them at their machine to recreate the problem.
