New version: FM Starter 2

The starting point or new FileMaker projects is now available in version 2


Italic has just launched the new version FM Starter 2. The start file for new FileMaker projects has already integrated all the basic functions so that new projects can be implemented more easily and quickly.

What’s new in FM Starter 2?

The most important innovation is a simplification of all functions. “The most difficult task is to simplify functions and modules,” says developer Karsten Risseeuw. «The central modules for navigation, user administration and for multilingual text labels have been completely redeveloped. But there are also some new modules, such as a module for multilingual help texts or a to-do list for the developer. Very important: Compared to the previous version, several modules have been left out. The focus is now on more functionality for the developer, less on functions for end users. ”

The whole user interface has been optimized and is now much more accessible. A standard theme is included for the design, which has been further improved for version 2.

Work more productively

FM Starter is neither an address management nor an ERP software. FM Starter is what every developer needs again and again, but preferably not reprogrammed every time. FM Starter combines everything that is needed to start a new project in one file: globally usable navigation, user administration, project structure and much more.

The best part is that everything is already coordinated. For example, the entire solution is multilingual from the start – which also applies to user management and navigation and every element on every page.

This startup file doesn’t do your job, but it does make it a lot easier. New projects can be launched in no time. Configuring instead of programming is the motto. All settings of the file are clearly arranged in a dedicated developer dashboard. Maintenance scripts make it easy to clean up settings. Almost all functions were developed as modules and are therefore both easy to understand in terms of structure and functional in solving tasks.

More products for FileMaker developers

Kursiv Software has significantly lowered the price of FM starters. This corresponds to the new strategy of offering various complementary products that individually fulfill clearly defined tasks but which can also be used together. Smaller units, therefore, several.

In addition to FM Starter, that is already the case today FM registrations , which can be used to generate license codes for FileMaker applications. This makes it very easy to activate your own standard solutions. FM Starter has already integrated a decoding module for FM registration codes. As a result, FM Starter and FM Registrations go very well together.

Further products are already in preparation. The goal is to provide a selection of good tools for committed FileMaker developers, with which development times can be drastically reduced.
