FileMaker Cloud 2.19.3.2 Release Notes
Compatibility
FileMaker Cloud 2.19.4.1 is compatible with Claris FileMaker® 18 and 19 Platform clients.
New features and enhancements
Note:To use the latest features, make sure your instance is upgraded to FileMaker Cloud 2.19.4.1. If your instance is not upgraded during auto-maintenance, use the Dashboard page in FileMaker Cloud Admin Console to upgrade your instance.
Session identifier
The new Set Session Identifier script step in Claris FileMaker Pro® allows custom app developers to provide administrators additional information about a user connected to a hosted app. By default, the session identifier is the same value returned by the Get(UserName) function. An app can now use the Set Session Identifier script step to change that default value. The session identifier is available to FileMaker Cloud administrators in the Claris FileMaker Admin API. See FileMaker Pro Help.
Addressed issues
The following issues were addressed.
- Users were not able to delete or replace some of the files in the Documents folder.
- Restoring large files and downloading files with large external container data failed because it caused the session token to expire.
- When running the GetThumbnail function in custom apps hosted by FileMaker Cloud, the quality of the returned thumbnails was poor.
- Log viewer was not able to display log files larger than 2 GB and sometimes caused Admin Console to stop responding.
- When inserting signatures using Claris FileMaker Go® in custom apps hosted by FileMaker Cloud, poor quality images were saved.
