Troi Automatisering releases Troi Activator Plug-in 4.0 for FileMaker Pro 15

June 14th, 2016, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi Activator Plug-in 4.0 for FileMaker Pro 15.

What is Troi Activator Plug-in?

Troi Activator Plug-in is a very powerful tool for triggering scripts across the network, even over internet. All from within FileMaker you can:

• trigger a FileMaker script on a different client computer
• trigger a FileMaker script over internet
• run a script and send data to a different FileMaker application, all in the background
• use the built-in security to prevent unauthorized triggering
• send a number (e.g. a record ID) and a long text with the trigger
• start and stop listening for remote trigger messages with one script step

Apart from remote triggering you can also trigger scripts on the same computer:

• run a script from any FileMaker calculation, for example a tooltip calculation
• trigger a script on a specified date and time
• schedule events which trigger any script you want
• trigger a script after exiting a field
• validate fields with a custom script suited to your specific validation needs

What is new?

Troi Activator Plug-in 4.0 has been made compatible with FileMaker 15:

• Further improved the multi-threading behavior of the plug-in when running in FileMaker Pro 15.
• Added description and type-ahead information for all functions of the plug-in. This extra function description will be shown in FileMaker Pro 15 in the Specify Calculation dialog box when you type a function name and also as a text popup in the functions pane on the right. The type-ahead information is used by the auto complete functionality of FileMaker Pro 15.

Version 4.0 also has the following improvements:

• You can now schedule up to 1500 events to trigger, up from 1000.
• Improved the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12, to provide more help when an installation error occurs.
• Updated the UploadData.fmp12 example file: it now correctly shows a Google Map in a webviewer.

In addition to this, version 4.0 has several bug fixes and further improvements. We also updated the User Guide.
