Troi Number Plug-in

This plug-in makes it possible to show a running Balance of a value in any portal, especially sorted portals. It does so on-the-fly, whenever any portal data is entered or edited, including changes to the sort key field(s). This functionality is accomplished without scripting. Troi Number Plug-in has reached the end of its lifecycle. You can still use it and buy it, but we have decided that we will no longer update the plug-in and that we will phase out support for it as well. Version 1.1 is compatible with FileMaker 6 and earlier. It will probably work with FileMaker 7 too, but your milage may vary. Features: FileMaker Pro 5.5 and MacOS X Compatible Troi Number Plug-in 1.1 has been tested with FileMaker 5.5 and is made compatible for Mac OS X. The Mac OS version of the plug-in is now a so called `Super Fat` plug-in that will run on Mac OS 8, 9 and Mac OS X. It also works for any version of FileMaker 4 or later. Create a running balanceSay you have a file "Customers.fp5" holding customer information and "Transactions.fp5" holding financial transactions. Customers.fp5 has a relation "Customer Transactions" that relates all transactions of each customer. With the Balance function it is possible to define a field that calculates a running balance. After defining the proper fields with the balance function you can get this balance to show in a portal. If a new Transaction is added (or deleted) the balance is recalculated automatically. Suggested uses of this plug-in are: Show a historic list of transactions, with the balance after each transaction shown. Show the end times of a list of actions. Of course more is possible. The best way to see if it can help you is to try it out. Please mail us if you have an interesting application of the Number Plug-in. We are always interested in what you can do with it.
