Optimized usability of form and list layouts for FileMaker Go.

Optimum usability in FileMaker thanks to database-supported navigationIn another presentation at the FileMaker Conference 2012, I showed ways to optimize screen layouts and navigation within a FileMaker solution. First, I provided an overview of the methods and technologies that can be used to implement database-supported navigation in FileMaker. In a short excursion into GUI studies, I show how a graphical user interface should look and be structured according to the current scientific state of the art. Finally, using a practical example, I show how database-supported navigation can be implemented in a FileMaker solution with pure on-board resources without plug-ins.
