Is there a way to set a script trigger that across the entire database without having to set a trigger for all layouts individually?
The idea would be to show a dialog after inactivity.
No, per FileMaker's Help page: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7465
Layout script triggers can only be configured one layout at a time.
Depending on how you are trying to implement your solution, you might be able to use a Custom Menu (with FM Advanced) an On Timer script or a login script for a similar purpose.

I believe there is a way to implement custom features. Not sure how this would be done.
I would like to implement my own code and not use 3rd parties like zapier.
This there a way to edit the code create a custom feature. I would like to be able to look at the task and have time entry area to enter date and hours worked. That would be saved in a new postgres table or possibly an orcl db.
I would also like to add a scrollable list to each task to show all time entries on a task.
If you know of how I would go about this please explain in some detail. An useful links would be appreciated.
We are using Azure Devops Server. When a bug is created, I would like to create a child task automatically. The task does not need to have any particular properties, it just need to be created with default values and have a default name like "Placeholder" or something like that.
I have already encountered some different ways of doing it, but neither of them seems to be well suited for me:
The extension 1-click-child-links could be used to create a child task by clicking a button in the context menu after creating the bug. This will of course work, but it would be even better if it could be done in the background ensuring the task to be created even if the user forgets to click the button.
As I understand it, using the Microsoft Flow software tasks can be created in the background when creating a bug which would be exactly what I'm looking for, but it would be nice to find a simpler way of doing it without installing a complete software tool.
I've learned that it is possible to hook into different events by using service hooks (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/service-hooks/events?view=azure-devops). There are a couple of standard integrations, but neither of them can be used to solve my case. So using this method, I guess I need to develop a custom service creating the task?
Is there a simpler solution to achieve my gool or do I need to stick with one of the solutions above?
As a workaround , we can set Azure Logic App, select When a work item is created"as trigger, and then select Create a work item as action.
Make sure to set the Link URL to the “When a work item is created” URL and set the Link Type to Hierarchy-reverse to create the Task as a child of the Bug item. Please refer to the settings below:
Save the Logic Apps Designer, and then when the bug item is created, the child task named Placeholder will be automatically created.
I am relatively new to Filemaker so this may be easy for some of you. I am making an IT Ticketing System and I want every user not an Admin (so basically everyone will be a guest) to just see a new, blank record when they enter the database. I tried to script below but when I log into FM Web Direct, it doesn't work.
If [Get(AccountName)="Guest"]
Go To Layout [LayoutName]
New Record/Request
Show/Hide Menubar [Hide]
Show/Hide Toolbars [Hide]
End If
I set the script to run on OnFirstWindowOpen (I've also tried OnWindowOpen).
If you want to match the guest account, you need to include the brackets, like this: [Guest]
In Tableau dashboard it is possible to create a number of elements (like sliders) which can be used by user to set values of some parameters. Further these parameters are used in combination with data as input for some calculations. The results of the calculations are displayed back to the user.
The default behavior of Tableau is that the calculations are triggered each time as soon as one of the parameters is changed by a user. It might be not optimal if there are many parameters and each recalculation takes several seconds. A user might want first to set the values of all parameters and only then trigger the calculations.
How can one get this behavior?
ADDED
I found out that I can choose "pause auto updates" (here). In this way a change in one of the parameters does not trigger the calculations (as I want). Then I can trigger the calculations (after all parameters are changed) by pressing "Refresh" button. The problem with this solution is that I, as a dashboard developer, have this button but the user will not have it. I guess the user can also update the dashboard by pressing F9 button on the keyboard, but it might be not user friendly. I would prefer to put a "Refresh" button into the UI (into dashboard directly). Is it possible?
ADDED 2
Here I see a question that is identical to mine. The proposed solution is to use "Pause" and "Run" buttons. However, as I have already mentioned, it does not seems to be a "full solution" since it works only for the developers of dashboard and not the final users (since they do not have access to these buttons). So, my question remains: How can I add the "Pause" and "Run" buttons to the dashboard?
You can factor out portions of your dashboard, such as user input, into HTML inputs and then use the Tableau JavaScript API to control aspects of Tableau's behavior, such as when it refreshes. You can then style your controls with CSS etc. At the cost of maintaining a bit of HTML and JavaScript.
It may not be worth the hassle compared to just putting a note on the dashboard to say, "use pause and resume when ..." but it does give you more control over look, feel, behavior and integration with other apps
1 . I have Toolbox for Activity where I have Activities listed and on right side I have designer where Workflow designer is placed. From my Toolbox I can drag and drop Activites into designer It works fine. Now to increase the usability experience I want to double click on Activity in toolbox and it should be added automatically into desinger within specified "Sequence" activity as the second last activity in sequence workflow ? How can I do this ?
I have long running workflow which runs for 3-5 minutes; I want to give flexibility to end user to Cancel/Stop/Abort workflow while workflow is in execution. How can I do this ?
I am using Toolbox where I have listed down activities; at top of Toolbox it gives Searchbox; This search box gives search based on first letter; now I want to search for anywhere in the text...
I am using workflow designer as hosting Workflow and I use WorkflowInvoker to invoke my workflow; so what is best practice to Cancel/Stop executing workflow ?
To enable double clicking in the ToolboxControl, set the AssociatedDesigner property to the live instance of the WorkflowDesigner.
Might work better if you asked one question per posting...
As for your question on cancel/stop/abort your host application can do this (depending on how you host the workflow).
