Frequently Asked Questions
No. You can learn how to perform integrations between FileMaker and Google using the gManipulator plug-in just by using our free tools such as the documentation and demo files. However, this course was created to significantly save you time - especially if you've never done anything like this before. This course will track your progress and train you step-by-step, even if this is your first time using a plug-in. There are a great many people who prefer to learn by way of video training versus reading the documentation or reverse engineering demo files. We see this method of training as a growing trend on how people prefer (and now expect) to learn.
This course is designed for beginner through advanced FileMaker developers and it's not required that you know anything about plug-ins. We recommend that you know how to work with relationships and scripts before signing up. There are plenty of courses online to learn FileMaker
You could take the course using nothing more than a 30-day demo of the gManipulator. However, it would be far more convenient to use a fully licensed version of the gManipulator. Ultimately, any user who plans on doing Google integrations from their own desktop will need a fully licensed version of the plug-in. Note: the demo expires after 30 days and also becomes disabled after 2 hours of continuous use. You can reset the hourly clock by quitting FileMaker and getting back in.
The course will be an ever-evolving offering that starts with the basics at first and then later, throughout each year, more content will be added.
This course will be continuously evolving, updating and improving. We realize that some will want to keep their subscription renewed every year for continual reference, new content and lessons on updated plug-in features.
Yes and no. All questions will be read by the instructor where a determination will be made if help can be provided immediately (for free) or if the issue involves a much more labor intense answer therefore possibly requiring paid support. In general, help is always available from Productive Computing to answer the simplest question or to go further by providing professional consultation or even assist with the full integration. It has been our experience that it's not unusual for even the most advanced developers to ask for a helping hand every now and again.
