Calling the 7th panel and giving it Active Focus on FileMaker Go works for all functions save one: scrolling a portal. On FileMaker Go, however, there is a major problem.

But… Portal Scrolling does not work FileMaker Go Once on top, all functionality you would expect does work: filed access, scrolling, popovers, button access, etc. When we programmatically activate a sliding panel, that panel assumes “Active Focus”, meaning the panels essentially drop behind the Active Focus panel despite their relative position in the stack.įor example, activating the 7th (lowest) panel in the stack using the “Go to Object” command essentially brings that sliding panel to the top of the stack. Using FileMaker Client on a Mac or a PC is not a problem. Claris FileMaker can be deployed online and on-premise and is accessible from a limited amount of platforms including Windows and Linux devices. While this results in a more complex development environment, the resulting user experience (UX) is impressive and has a reduced learning curve. Starting from 19, Claris FileMaker is priced affordably, has offered a free trial in the past and is most applicable for businesses large and small. On some layouts, up to seven sliding panels are stacked on top of each other. The app is feature packed and has multiple sliding panels on each major interface page. In the development process, we discovered a FileMaker Go Bug. We are using sliding panels as a major interface feature. I am working with another developer on a big rollout for a primarily iPad based solution. When I receive any feedback, I will let you know. I have sent all information, including a sample file, to our Development and Testing departments for review. I am able to reproduce the issue with FileMaker Go 16.0.4 under iOS 11.2.6 using an iPad Pro.
