Success! Our testing planet is no more.

Polling For Changes

Sometimes you’ll want to show data changes in real time. For this section, we’ll utilise Reactor’s polling functionality.

...

Now open up a new window, and start adding new planet records, deleting them, and changing them. You’ll see your web-viewer reflecting this in real-time!

Running a script

For this section we’ll call a FileMaker script from within the web-viewer using Reactor.

...

Success! We have now successfully passed through multiple parameters to a FileMaker script from within a Reactor function.

10. Pull Container Images

When creating a Reactor function, you can also send through a container field as a parameter. Reactor is able to accept this container field and pull in the contents as images.

...

You should see the image switch when you change the planet in the dropdown list.
