11-10 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
By default, the Built-in Web page is used. This page automatically
updates to include links to all databases being shared using the
Web Companion.
Here are suggestions for items to include on your custom home page:
1 a link that contains the IP address of your published FileMaker Pro
database
1 a description of what your database contains
1 your email address, or an automated email link, so users can contact
you if they have questions
1 your logo, or other graphics
For more information, see “Helping Web users find your database” on
page 11-22.
Choosing a language
You can specify the language used in both the FileMaker Pro Instant
Web Publishing interface and in the Instant Web Publishing Help.
Choose a language from the Language drop-down list.
Note Choosing a language affects the FileMaker Pro Instant Web
Publishing interface only. It has no effect on your data.
Creating a Web activity log
You can have FileMaker Pro Web Companion keep a log of the activity your
database receives from Web users. This Web activity log is a text file named
Web.log, located in the same folder as the FileMaker Pro application.
1 For no activity log, or to stop keeping an activity log if one already
exists, select None.
1 For an abbreviated activity log, select Brief.
1 For a detailed activity log, select Extended.
Remote password administration
You can specify a password to control several remote administration
activities:
1 remote administration of the Web Security databases
1 remote uploading of files to the Web folder and remote downloading
of database files from the Web folder, in the FileMaker Pro 4.0 folder
