Your File

Do I need to do anything special to get my file ready for SeedCode Calendar?

Not really. You'll be pasting the calendar into your file, and importing a number of scripts, but that is all described in our integration article.

There are, however, a couple things to keep in mind about your file: things that could stop the calendar from working properly if not addressed.

File Name. You can't have a period in your file name (the dot before fp7 in the file name is fine, but something like MyComany.com.fp7 is not).

Privilege Sets. If you've done a lot of work customizing the privilege sets in your file, you may have "any new table" set to be pretty restrictive. You'll be adding two new tables when you integrate the calendar and you users will need to be able to add, edit, and delete records in both (these are just interface tables-- there is no data there). So if you think this applies to you, then you already know what to do after you create the new tables.

You'll also want to make sure that the layouts you create are accessible to each of your privilege sets: check the same thing for value lists and scripts.

Layout Names. FileMaker really can't distinguish between layouts of the same name when importing scripts, so take a look at your solution and rename any of your layouts (at least until your done importing calendar scripts) that have the same names as the layouts you'll be pasting in from SeedCode Calendar. You also don't want any layout folders with these names either:
