Troi Activator Plug In

The Activator Plug-in is a very powerful tool for triggering scripts across the network, even over the Internet. All from within FileMaker you can: - trigger a FileMaker script on a different client computer - trigger a FileMaker script over the Internet - run a script and send data to a different FileMaker application, all in the background - use the built-in security to prevent unauthorized triggering - send a number (e.g. a record ID) and a long text with the trigger - start and stop listening for remote trigger messages with one script step Apart from remote triggering you can also trigger scripts on the same computer: - trigger a script on a specified date and time - schedule events which trigger any script you want - trigger a script after exiting a field - validate fields with a custom script suited to your specific validation needs Suggested Uses The Activator allows you to: - create a real-time appointment solution, where you can notify a colleague (on a different computer) of changes in his/her appointments - notify a user that a shared document can be used - process data in the background in a different FileMaker application - get someone out of a record, so that it is no longer locked - schedule processing of incoming email and put the computer to sleep the rest of the time, saving energy All these features also work in a runtime solution.
