Claris FileMaker WebDirect Guide
Navigator skill — routes to reference files, then fetches live Claris documentation on demand.
FileMaker WebDirect provides browser-based access to FileMaker databases without requiring FileMaker Pro. It renders layouts in a web browser with configuration options for deployment, theming, and performance.
How to use this skill
- Read
references/webdirect.md (relative to this skill's directory) to find the relevant page URL(s) for the user's question.
- Fetch the page with
WebFetch from the URL listed there.
- If a fetch returns 404, tell the user the page may have moved and suggest running
update.py to refresh references.
Note on browser compatibility
The WebDirect Guide pages only state "most modern browsers." The definitive versioned browser compatibility matrix lives in the Claris FileMaker Technical Specifications, not in the WebDirect Guide. If the user asks which specific browser versions are supported, fetch the WebDirect index page first (https://help.claris.com/markdown/en/webdirect-guide/index.md) — it links to the Claris Technical Specifications where the full browser support matrix is documented.
