Using DBDebug.log to Troubleshoot Performance
DBDebug.log only shows up when you turn on the right flags in ClarisConfig.json—but once you do, it’s a really useful window into what FileMaker is actually doing under the hood. In this session, we’ll walk through how to use that log to see how many calls FileMaker Pro is making to the Server, and why that matters for performance. Vince will share his go-to approach for tracking down slow spots, especially in list views. We’ll also talk about how to set a baseline for performance—what’s the fastest FileMaker can deliver the data?—and then compare that to a slower layout. From there, we’ll look at practical ways to figure out what’s causing the slowdown and how to fix it.

Modern UI/UX for FileMaker Developers
Users today expect more than working software — they expect clean, modern, intuitive experiences. In this webinar, we will discuss how FileMaker developers can bring modern UI/UX thinking into their solutions. We will look at interface consistency, thoughtful spacing, better interaction design, and ways to make layouts feel more polished, professional, and aligned with current expectations. Show an old-school FileMaker interface vs modernized version (example: classic tab-heavy layout vs clean dashboard style) Demonstrate card windows / popovers / clean navigation (example: editing a record in a centered card window) Show modern button styles and cleaner component structure (example: flat buttons with icons and consistent padding) Compare dated layout habits vs current design expectations (example: heavy gradients and lines vs light clean interface)
Wed - 4/29
UI/UX in FileMaker: Make It Beautiful. Make It Obvious.
A webinar about building FileMaker solutions that are not only powerful, but easy, clear, and enjoyable to use. Learn practical UI/UX principles that improve usability, reduce friction, and make your layouts feel professional. Demo “what is this screen trying to say?” (example: user cannot tell where to begin on the layout) Simplify a crowded interface live (example: removing side clutter and focusing on the main task) Show how to make actions visually obvious (example: one primary blue button stands out clearly) Compare beautiful-but-confusing vs simple-and-clear (example: fancy icons everywhere vs direct labeled actions)
Thu - 4/30
From Functional to Exceptional: UI/UX Design in FileMaker
A solution can work perfectly and still feel frustrating. That is where UI/UX comes in. In this webinar, we will show how to move from merely functional layouts to truly exceptional user experiences. We will cover design patterns, usability thinking, visual clarity, and practical ways to improve existing FileMaker systems without rebuilding everything from scratch. Start with a layout that works but feels outdated (example: gray screen with tiny text and old-school buttons) Improve typography, spacing, colors, and action placement (example: larger headings, better spacing, cleaner buttons) Show better modal/dialog experience (example: elegant card window instead of messy pop-up layout) Demonstrate how small refinements make the app feel premium (example: subtle spacing changes make the solution feel modern)
