Use this script step to display a notification alert on a device when FileMaker Go is not running or is in the background. The notification is displayed after the optional delay, even if FileMaker Go is not running.
If you specify a script, the following multiline parameter is passed to the script.
Line number | Parameter value |
1 | The name of the notification. |
2 | One of the following values: •NotificationSelected - The user tapped the notification. •NotificationNotDisplayed - The notification was not displayed because FileMaker Go was in the foreground. •NotificationNotAllowed - Notifications are disabled for the iOS device. •<button label> - The user tapped the specified button in the notification alert. |
3 | 1 if FileMaker Go was in the foreground when the script was queued; 0 if FileMaker Go was in the background when the script was queued. |
4 | The optional script parameter in the Specify Script dialog box. |
•If a new notification has the same name as a queued notification, the previous notification is cleared before the new one is queued.
•If the user taps the notification, FileMaker Go moves to the foreground and the specified script runs. If the notification is displayed but the user doesn’t interact with it, the script does not run.
