July 2017 – Jesse Barnum – 360 Deploy
* Deploying version updates from an offline copy (i.e. a developer laptop) to a live deployment server
* Deploying version updates from a hosted developer server to a live deployment server
* Deploying new versions of vertical market applications to a large number of customers using that application”360 Deploy combines technology that we’ve developed in several different products (MirrorSync, AdminAnywhere, SafetyNet) into a special purpose tool that we believe to be the easiest and most reliable way of delivering version updates, without resorting to the workarounds required by the separation model.This presentation will be the first public demonstration of 360 Deploy, so some edges may still be a bit rough.”

June 2017 Tips n Tricks (Mixed Bag)
This month we “geeked out” over a mixed bag of FileMaker tips and tricks.
Chris Cain led the discussion, with some demo files and walkthroughs of:
- Panel with Unlimited Tabs
- Dynamic Cross-tab Data Entry Interface
- Virtual List Basics
- Virtual List Hierarchy
- SQL Custom Functions
- Magic Value Lists
This was more of a discussion and workshop than a presentation, with opportunities for attendees to ask questions, “deep dive” on particular subjects, or skim topics, depending on input and interest. We went on a few interesting tangents and uncovered several tips n tricks that weren’t on our original list!

April 2017 FMPUG – FileMaker Plug-in Management – Strategies and Solutions
Jason Sanders from Extensitech will be presenting this month. He will take a deep dive into the world of deploying and maintaining plug-ins in FileMaker solutions.
If you already have a solution deployed that leverages plug-ins, you’re probably all too aware of the challenges, pitfalls, and general pain-in-the-buttness of trying to install, update, downdate, locate, register, etc., your users’ plug-ins.
This discussion will give an overview of the native FileMaker tools for managing plug-ins, outline the things you need to consider when developing your own plug-in management tools, and present a fully developed solution for deploying and managing plug-ins in FileMaker.
