MAIN PRESENTATION - Do You Use This Feature? Navigating Claris FileMaker's Rapid Innovations
Just like operating system updates that flood users with new features — which may go unused if you don't invest time exploring them — Claris has been introducing numerous enhancements to the FileMaker Platform worthy of exploring, lest they go unused.

While faster-paced development brings exciting possibilities, it can be challenging to keep up with and evaluate every new feature:

• Have you ever felt overwhelmed by these rapid changes?
• Are you unsure which new features could truly benefit your workflow
• Are you missing out on tools that could enhance your projects?

Staying current with the latest tools can significantly enhance your development process, but it's not always easy to keep up.

Join us this month as we will organise a poll covering many of the more recently-introduced FileMaker features, attempting to discern what has traction, what may require more evangelization, and what is tailored to more niched use cases.

At the same time, we will have a roundtable discussion about FileMaker features, allowing everyone to share how they use each feature and what pitfalls to watch for. Join the discussion, or simply sit back and discover new details about features that time constraints have prevented you from getting familiar with.
