Add-on Lab FREE for FileMaker

Create FileMaker add-ons in no time


29. April 2021In Add onsBy Karsten Risseeuw2 Minutes

FileMaker add-ons are an ingenious way to simplify your own development with ready-made building blocks. The concept for add-ons is impressive, because for the first time FileMaker developers can easily create add-ons themselves. The new “Add-On Lab FREE” shows how to do this and summarizes most of the available information about FileMaker Add-ons.

Add-ons are modular building blocks that can be easily imported into FileMaker and placed on the page using drag-and-drop. Creating add-ons makes sense, as also you can create building blocks for your next projects. Anyone who has previously received the impression at Claris that add-ons always have to do with Javascript and are terribly complicated, fails to recognize the power of the idea. It’s not about Javascript or highly complex solutions, it’s about creating and using building blocks. These can be very simple solutions in FileMaker.

An add-on is created in its own file. Then you export the file as an add-on and the function including tables, layouts, scripts and custom functions can be integrated directly into other files.

Add-on Lab FREE

The free “Add-On Lab FREE” tool is a FileMaker file and does two things:

  1. Create an add-on to an open FileMaker file
  2. All the information available on how to create add-ons.

So far, Claris has hardly released any information about add-ons. Many details are unknown. Valuable information can currently be found on Geistinteractive.com and a few other websites. There the information is explained in various articles. We have summarized the collected information for creating add-ons in this file.

Add-on Lab PRO

Soon there will also be a Pro version, with which additional add-ons can be managed and information adjusted. Whoever downloads the free information will be automatically informed when the Pro version will be available.

Download links for free products will be sent by email. An e-mail check is performed. You need a valid and permanent email address.
