What's New In ClickStats
Pro
In creating
ClickStats Pro, we started from the ground up. This
is a total rewrite of ClickStats that uses the new
"Design" functions in FileMaker Pro 4.0 to document
your files (INCLUDING related files) to a degree
never before possible. ClickStats Pro is now
completely cross-platform and will run on Windows
95, Windows NT and the Mac OS (with or without
AppleScript installed).
In addition to
being cross-platform, we've included some of the
most-requested features from users of ClickStats
1.x and we've even included point-and-click
creation of an entire web site complete with
Add/Edit/Delete, Search and Hitlist
pages.
Document
Multiple "Sessions"
You can now
document multiple "Sessions" of any file. That is
to say, you can document your file(s) at multiple
times during the development process and keep a
"history" of development. All of the following
attributes are documented:
- Field
Names
- Field
Calculations
(Mac OS w/AppleScript only)
- Layout
Names
- Script
Names
- Relationship
Names
- Value List
Names
- Which fields
are used on which layouts
- The value list
assigned to each field on each layout (if
any)
- The number of
layouts each field is used on
- The number of
values in each value list
- The number of
fields, layouts, scripts, and relationships in
each "session"
- Whether a
field is used in a relationship
- A list of
relationships that a "key" field is used in
- Physical
screen location of all fields
- And
MORE!
You can compare
two sessions
of the same file (or different sessions of
different files), and ClickStats Pro will create a
detailed report that can be exported to HTML or
printed or viewed on screen.
In addition, we've
created two sets of layouts - one for people with
traditional 14 inch monitors, and one for people
with monitors 17 inches or larger. The 17 inch
layout allows you to see all properties on a single
screen, while the 14 inch version provides "auto
switching" of the tabbed interface based on where
you click on screen.
We included
CONTROL-Click help for virtually every single
object, list, button, and script in the
system.
If you have
ClarisImpact 2.0 (or higher), you can see a
graphic
representation of the relationships in the selected
file.

Compare Any Two
"Sessions"
You can compare
two sessions of the same file (or different
sessions of different files), and ClickStats Pro
will create a detailed report (that can be exported
to HTML or printed or viewed on screen) showing the
similarities and differences in script names, field
position and size (on a layout-by-layout basis),
value list name and values, relationship
properties, and field properties.

View Graphic Representation of
Relationships
Using ClarisImpact
2.0 (or higher - on MacOS, Windows 95, or Windows
NT) you can now view (and print) a graphic
representation of your relationships in a selected
file.

Create Web Pages Via Point and
Click
Now you can easily
create Add, Edit, Search and Hitlist HTML forms
with a few mouse clicks! Simply choose a file,
choose a layout, and choose which fields you want
to appear on the form - then let ClickStats Pro do
the rest.
Whether you're a
novice at creating HTML, or a coding expert,
creating HTML forms has never been easier. The
advanced settings ("Show only eligible fields" and
"Omit all global fields") help to prevent you from
making a mistake by putting the wrong types of
fields on a page. For example, you cannot have a
calculation or summary field appear on an add page,
but they can appear on a search page. ClickStats
Pro has added "intelligence" built-in to help you
avoid these time-consuming mistakes.
You can specify
the actual database field name as the label on the
form, or enter your own label. For those of you who
are already familiar with HTML, you have to specify
hidden fields as well as default values for those
hidden fields. View
Screenshot
Once you've
specified the Add/Edit/Delete, Search and Hitlist
pages, ClickStats Pro will then automatically
create a new folder inside the "Web" folder (inside
your FileMaker Pro 4.0 folder) for your new
solution, and will even optionally preview the
solution in your browser.
