Calendar Solution
Documentation
Section 7:
Developer Access - The
Calendar Solution was designed with the developer in mind,
allowing the Calendar and its supporting files to be
integrated into existing solutions with relative
ease.
Preface:
The following sections are designed for the FileMaker
solutions developer who is interested in integrating the
Calendar Solution into existing solutions, or who is
interested in modifying the Calendar Solution to meet a
particular need. It is highly recommended that the developer
read all preceding sections of this manual, as an
understanding of the basic concepts covered in those
sections will be assumed hereafter. There are four database
files in the Calendar Solution: Calendar.fp5, Core.fp5,
People.fp5 and Task.fp5. These files will be referred to as
files, modules, or by their names without the .fp5 suffix
from here forward.
Files & Directories in the Calendar Solution: For
detailed information regarding files and directories
contained in the Calendar Solution, see the document
"ReadMe.txt", which is located in the main Calendar Solution
directory. We recommend that you take a tour of all of the
files and folders in the solution, reading all enclosed
ReadMe files, as well as any text documents within the
Documentation folder.
Naming Conventions: Strict naming conventions are
used within all of the files in this solution. For more
information on the naming conventions used, see the document
"NamingConventions.txt" in the Documentation folder, which
is in the main Calendar Solution directory.

Important Note: If you
have purchased a developer license (Level 3 or
Level 4), it is assumed that you are a developer of
FileMaker solutions, and have significant
experience in relational database design using the
FileMaker Pro application. In order to offer the
Calendar Solution at an affordable price to
developers, we have not included any technical
support with the solution, beyond the documentation
in this manual. If you feel that important concepts
have been omitted from this documentation, or have
questions about modifying elements of this
solution, feel free to contact us. Please be aware,
though, that we reserve the exclusive right to
decide if information requests mandate changes in
documentation and/or upgrades to the solution on
our part, or if paid consulting or paid technical
support is recommended.
We have done everything possible to make this
solution easy to use and integrate into existing
FileMaker solutions, and we truly feel that a
developer with a good understanding of relational
database design in general, and of FileMaker Pro
database design in particular, will be able to
accomplish the integration and/or modification of
these files with relative ease.
