Filemaker previews Dashboard widget

By Dave Caolo

I'm not a Filemaker Pro developer, but I play one at work. That's why I was happy to see that Filemaker released a preview of their first Dashboard widget, Datagraph, this week at WWDC. Datagraph works with FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Developer databases and displays the data of up to five user defined fields in a color-coded bar graph. You can view data from multiple databases simultaneously and best of all, the download includes the resources you'll need to cook up your own Dashboard widgets for Filemaker. Pretty nice. This is just the type of useful widget that Dashboard needs to allow me to think of it as a beneficial utility and not just a pretty toy.
