FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1061

• For Specify, choose Records being browsed (to save the entire found set of records), or

Current record (to save only the current record).

Compatibility

Originated in

FileMaker Pro 11.0

Description

This script step operates in all modes except Find mode.

To send a snapshot link file via SMTP, use the Send Mail script step with the snapshot link file as an

attachment, and place it after the Save Records As Snapshot Link script step in the script.

Use this script step with the Get(TemporaryPath) function to save the snapshot link file to a

temporary location, if you do not need to store the file locally. If you use Get(TemporaryPath) to form

a file path, first assign it to a variable, then use the variable in the Specify Output File dialog box.

See

Creating file paths.

Note FileMaker WebDirect does not support the Specify output file option. FileMaker WebDirect

saves snapshot links to the web browser’s default download location.

Example 1

Saves the current record as a snapshot link and asks where the user wants to save the snapshot

link file.

Save Records As Snapshot Link [Current record]

Example 2

Saves the found set as a snapshot link in a temporary directory, then creates an email with the

snapshot link as an attachment.

Set Variable [$PATH; Value: Get ( TemporaryPath ) & "Invoices.fmpsl"]

Save Records As Snapshot Link ["$PATH"; Create email; Records being

browsed]
