Working with FileMaker databases on the web 19
1 Web users generally cannot modify their account password from a web browser. It is possible,
however, to build this functionality into your database with the Change Password script step (to
enable web users to change their password).
1 With FileMaker Server Advanced, you can enable an additional log in screen that does not
display filenames in the Database Homepage unless web users have an account name and
password that provides access to the file.
Working with data in Instant Web Publishing
In FileMaker Pro, the Instant Web Publishing status area has been redesigned to resemble the
desktop application. Web users interact with databases on the web in Browse or Find mode. All the
features that enable web users to interact with your database, for example, entering, editing,
deleting, and finding records, are accessible from the status area.
Viewing and modifying records in Browse mode
In Browse mode, web users perform tasks by clicking on an icon in the status area. If their account
name and privileges provide access, they can:
1 create records
1 edit records
1 duplicate records
1 delete records
1 sort the found set (based on fields on the current layout)
1 show all records
1 omit the current record from the found set
1 omit multiple, consecutive records from the found set
1 view the omitted records (and hide the existing found set)
