Four tasks to try with Genie. Open a walkthrough for the request and the checks to make.
Build a customer screen
The request
Create a customer detail layout using the existing name, email and phone fields. Add a button that runs the existing save script.
The work
Genie reads the existing fields and script, creates the layout, adds the content, then adjusts spacing or a selected object when you ask.
What to verify
Check the field bindings, save button behavior, layout name and appearance with representative records.
Open the task guideImprove an existing script
The request
Review the selected lines and add error handling without changing the rest of this script.
The work
Genie reads the selected lines, explains the edit and prepares it. You approve it, or Genie applies it directly with Auto apply on.
What to verify
Compare the resulting lines and run your normal test cases on a development copy. Confirm unrequested logic is preserved.
Open the task guideOrganize your scripts
The request
Create a Customers folder and place these named scripts in it.
The work
Genie finds the named scripts and existing folders, creates the folder and moves the scripts into it.
What to verify
Verify each script’s folder path and ordering in FileMaker, including after reopening the file.
Open the task guideCreate a relationship
The request
Connect the customer and invoice occurrences using their existing customer ID fields.
The work
Genie checks the occurrences and match fields, then proposes the relationship. You approve it, or Genie adds it directly with Auto apply on.
What to verify
Open Manage Database, check the relationship and its match fields, then test the related records.
