Finding problems
For solutions you inherit or for building complex ongoing solutions, InspectorPro tracks down and identifies problems, so you can continually improve your work: With InspectorPro's help, you can:
- Map problems to the respective links, fields, functions tables, and scripts
- Easily identify disabled scripts
- Add notes and tabs for effective team collaboration
InspectorPro's comprehensive list of detected problems are grouped into 2 categories: Area Problems, such as a button assigned to a script that's now missing. Calculation Problems, including missing functions, fields or tables.
For FileMaker Teams
Collaboration & Communication
- Add notes and tabs for effective developer workflow
- Link back into the Analysis, pointing to problem fields and scripts
- Highlight dormant code, such as disabled script steps
Enter a note on any problem, or mark it as fixed so you can work through the list of problems as a team. InspectorPro shows a coffee cup icon if the problem exists on dormant code, for example, a script step that is disabled.
