News Main Menu New Video from PCI: Planning a Dashboard in FileMaker Discover key questions to consider when creating a dashboard in FileMaker in this excerpt video from Productive Computing University's Claris FileMaker Pro Advanced 2 course. Dashboards can vary greatly from one project to another, and the user requirements will differ. Before you start building your FileMaker dashboard, there are important details to consider. This video covers 15 essential questions to help you effectively collaborate with users to ensure your dashboard meets their needs. The topics include: - Understanding Requirements: identify the key users, determine the most important data metrics, and consider how the dashboard will be used. - Design and Functionality: determine if the dashboard will be static or interactive, what types of visualizations best communicate the data, and how frequently the data needs updating. - Technical Considerations: address infrastructure and security requirements by identifying data sources, assessing performance to ensure scalability, and implementing stringent security measures for sensitive information. - User Experience: ensure that the design adheres to specific branding guidelines for visual consistency and assess the dashboard's complexity to determine if user training is required. To learn more advanced FileMaker development techniques and how to create a customized FileMaker dashboard, sign up for the complete course at Productive Computing University. With over 8 hours of lessons, you'll also learn how to build dynamic charts, interactive containers, use consumer AI tools for day-to-day FileMaker programming, and much more.
