Introducing Remote_Fx
Background
The Department of Education chose FileMaker Pro as the MAEMIS platform partly to allow locals to create enhancements to serve local needs. While this works well in theory, historically there has been a fly in the ointment. Each time MAEMIS is updated, local enhancements are lost. Recreating them in the updated MAEMIS can be tedious, frustrating, and expensive. Because Adult Ed is beholden to many grantors, frequent database updates are an unfortunate reality.
Now, thanks to Remote_Fx , a simple and inexpensive solution is available to resolve that tedium and frustration.
Features
Remote_Fx is a satellite file that takes advantage of FileMaker 8 features to provide you with your own interface to the MAEMIS data.
Remote_Fx works with MAEMIS in all environments: FileMaker Server, peer sharing, or local hard drive.
Remote_Fx is a template, and a whole lot more. Place it in your MAEMIS folder* and use it right away to
- Customize layouts with your preferred fonts and colors;
- Create alternate lists and layouts that display different or additional fields;
- Create scripts to find, sort and even calculate according to your own needs;
- Advanced users can even create custom data tables with relationships to MAEMIS records.
Remote_Fx offers built-in compatibility. MAEMIS8 automatically
- Recognizes Remote_Fx by default-no configuration required!*
- Integrates Remote_Fx into certain functions, like Log Out.
- Provides interoperability with your new layouts via the Go Remote script.
*Network installations require a one-time setting.
