What's inside
- 01 The Playbook (PDF, ~30 pages). Step-by-step methodology for adding an editable rules table to any FileMaker solution. Discovery, design, build, ship, gotchas, tooling. Written in dev-density — no fluff.
- 02
RulesPattern_Starter_v1.fmp12— a working starter file with sample data (order-processing urgency: STANDARD / RUSH / URGENT / EMERGENCY). Two tables, one relationship, one demonstration calc, three layouts, seed data. Drop in, study, adapt. - 03 Adaptation notes — how to lift the pattern into different domains. Service-aware scheduling, urgency tiering, risk scoring, quality gates. Examples drawn from real client work.
- 04 The honest gotchas — the "Do not evaluate if all referenced fields are empty" trap, the Number-vs-Text result-type gotcha, the FileMaker Server scheduled-script error 101 noise. The things you only learn by getting bitten.

FAQ
- Can I use this in paid client work?
- Yes. The license is commercial-use included. Use it in as many client projects as you like. You can't resell the playbook or starter file itself.
- Do I get updates?
- Lifetime updates included. When I refine the pattern based on new client work, you get the new version.
- What if I get stuck?
- The playbook is built to be self-serve, but if you're stuck on something specific, the contact page is open. I read every email and answer most within a couple of days.
