Save space on your layouts by changing a series of buttons into a single button that pops up a menu.

Multi-level menu support means any menu item can contain a sub-menu.

Menu items chosen can return a value different from what the menu item says, so you can do things like return a customer ID when a customer Name is chosen.

Menu items can be given different types of bullets, bold, italic, under, or disabled. These style attributes can be added or removed from each menu item before the menu is shown again.

FileMaker's type-ahead suggestions are limited to matches from the field being typed in.

Menu Popper can add a similar dropdown menu below FileMaker fields. As the user types, use your own SQL to fill that menu with suggestions that come from different database fields.

You control the order of results. The number. The grouping. You can add menu items that do things like create a new user or populate other fields based on the record id of the chosen match.

Use a wide menu to show First name, Last name, Email, Phone, and Workplace from a number of possible matches, speeding data entry as it becomes clear if the person being entered is going to match someone who already exists.

Menus are quick and easy to create with a simple string of text. You can use a FileMaker Value List where each menu item is separated by a new line (represented by the ¶ character in a string), or use any other character as a separator.

Create menus from comma or tab separated values, or use almost any format you have available.

A menu item name of “-“ is converted into a divider between menu items.

By showing menus based on SQL queries you can get rid of Table Occurrences that exist soley so FileMaker can generate Value Lists for use with its native menus. You can get rid of extra Value Lists as well.

Menus can be edited, adding or removing items, even combining two menus together.

Menu items can be set to show or hide depending on modifier keys a user holds down before the menu is shown.

You'll be amazed how often an extra menu comes in handy. Once you start using them, you'll wonder how you ever did without them. Give it a try - free for 30 days.
