#Filemaker baseelements plugin example install#

Must have either installed the BaseElements plugin on the FileMaker Server already, or enabled the option to allow scripts to install plugins.Once the import is complete, it will return to the UI file, showing the details of your just imported solution. Leave it running, and any issues that happen will be shown via a dialog. Because the XSLT transform happens in the plugin, if you have a large DDR it can at times appear that FileMaker is locked up. Large DDRs ( could be anything from 500MB and up ) will take time to import. Click Continue when you're done.īaseElements will show you progress for the import. These are optional, only the name is useful here. You can then select some options for the import, such as Name, Version and Client. This file will be called something else if you're using a different language version of FileMaker. On the top left side of the Home layout is the import button.Ĭlick this button, and then select the 'Summary.xml' file you generated when you created the DDR. Open BaseElements and go to the Home screen. Once you've generated your Database Design Report, you then need to import it into BaseElements.
