Script Performance (The Silent Killer)
Scripts are often blamed for slow systems—but the real issue is how they are written. In this session, we break down common performance mistakes inside scripts and show how to fix them. We’ll look at inefficient loops, unnecessary context switching, foundset misuse, and excessive commits. You’ll also see practical techniques to streamline logic and reduce execution time dramatically. A key highlight will be demonstrating smarter ways to handle data flow, including efficient foundset transfer strategies that eliminate unnecessary processing.
Tue - 7/14
UI Performance (What the User Actually Feels)
Users don’t care how elegant your scripts are—they care about how the system feels. In this session, we focus entirely on the user interface and how it directly impacts perceived performance. We’ll examine layouts overloaded with objects, portals, and calculations, and compare them with cleaner, more intentional designs. You’ll see how simplifying a layout can instantly improve responsiveness without touching a single script. This session is highly visual and practical, showing how better UI decisions lead to faster, more enjoyable user experiences.
Wed - 7/15
Server Performance (Using Power the Right Way)
FileMaker Server is powerful—but only if used correctly. In this session, we explore how to leverage the server to improve performance instead of accidentally making things worse. We’ll cover when to use Perform Script on Server (PSOS), how to distribute workload between client and server, and how to avoid common pitfalls. You’ll also see how to handle multiple processes safely and efficiently, including strategies to prevent overload. Through live comparisons, you’ll clearly see the difference between client-side and server-side execution.

How and why to build a FileMaker Help Request system with Tony White
A well build FileMaker Help Request system can increase the value of almost any FileMaker system by making it easier for: • users, managers, and developers to submit bug reports, feature request and questions. • users, managers to "pass found sets of records around" • project owners to manage FileMaker projects efficiently • developers to respond to bug reports, feature request and questions thereby increasing project return on investment A FileMaker Help Request system should: [1] allow users to submit Help Requests (4 types) with detailed metadata (file, layout, record, etc.) using GET functions and Design Functions with or without screen captures and/or snapshot links [2] automatically send Script errors and Script usage reports to the Help Request system
