Waves in Motion - Revealed: Speeding up FileMaker Portals
[ANN] Waves in Motion Announces Strategy Paper - Speed up your Portals
The best kept secret at Waves in Motion - Revealed!
Phoenix, AZ - June 16, 2002
This strategy is guaranteed to improve the speed and efficiency of your
solution and heighten the end user experience. Your users will notice an
increase in performance and enjoy using it, and in the end, save you time
and money.
As the number of records in your business solution grows, you may reach a
point where it keeps getting slower and slower. Why? Simple! The more data
that is shown through a portal, the slower it gets. Portals can be very
slow, especially if you are showing unstored information that needs to
calculated on every portal row.
Although there are several solutions to solve this problem, we recommend
that you use the Portal Filter plug-in. Using Portal Filter can provide the
following benefits:
- Filtering is faster than finding
- Reduce the hindrance of unstored calculations
- Filter large amounts of portal data for...

number generator, with the ability for the user to reseed. The new
functions are:
