SUI Calendar Internals

Basic technical information regarding SUI Calendar is included here.

SUI Calendar is delivered as a set of FileMaker database files containing data, layouts, scripts and user account information.

FileMaker layouts compose the user interface. Data entry forms, reports, navigation bars, and custom dialogs are all parts of the layout.

Since SUI Calendar gives defined users full control of its databases, these users can customize existing layouts, create additional layouts, make reports and modify database tables according to business needs. To access layouts and database tables in design mode, the user must have valid system privileges.

SUI Calendar can operate in a single user desktop mode but is more efficient when information is shared between users through an LAN or the Internet. FileMaker can share the information from databases in two main modes:

• FMNET protocol: Users who want to access the database must have FileMaker installed locally.

• Instant Web Publishing Access: FileMaker operates like a web server and the remote user only needs a browser to access the database.
