Working with plug-ins
A plug-in is software that extends the capabilities of Claris Pro, Claris Server, FileMaker Pro, and FileMaker Server. Plug-ins may be available from third-party software companies, or from a development or information systems group within your organization.
A plug-in can implement features that you access by using external functions, external script steps, or both. See the documentation that came with the plug-in.
This section describes how to:
-
create plug-ins and make them available to users
-
install plug-ins in custom app files
-
set up custom app files to check plug-in version information and update plug-ins automatically if needed
