In FileMaker Go with the ‘close’ option enabled, you can tap anywhere outside of the Card to close the window. Card Windows can even open layouts in another file! Closing Cards Here’s the best part: you don’t need to worry about having an existing relationship between the table in your current layout and the table in the Card’s layout, so a Card Window really can be based on any> layout. You also have the option to leave the background layout visible (not dimmed), however it will still be frozen until the Card is closed.

Unlike a floating window, this means you can no longer interact with the underlying layout. The default behavior when a Card first opens is to center itself within your current layout and dim the background. Close (on/off option to display ‘close’ button) – NEW.Layout (choose from any layout in your solution, fixed or calculated)- NEW, but not limited to card windows.Go to Related Record (with the option “Show in new window”).So let’s dig in… Script Steps (look familiar?) Finally!Īlthough Cards use the same script steps as regular floating windows, there are some differences in the available options and overall behavior. In other words, you get to maintain the context you are in by not leaving your current layout, and still work within a different context since a Card can be based on any layout (and table) within your solution. So why are we so excited? Cards have all the benefits of popovers plus all the benefits of a new window. One of the new features in FileMaker Pro 16 (and one we’re super excited about!) is the Card Window, which is essentially a new window that lives within your current one.
