Data is power, but only if it’s accessible. While Claris FileMaker excels at managing workflows and storing critical data, sometimes stakeholders need quick, visual insight—without digging into complex layouts or asking a developer for help. That’s where Claris Studio Dashboards come in.

Claris Studio empowers teams to build and share interactive dashboards that display live FileMaker data—without editing FileMaker layouts or requiring development skills. From executives tracking KPIs to managers monitoring field operations, Claris Studio delivers self-serve, browser-based reporting that keeps everyone aligned and informed.

The Limitations of Traditional Data Sharing

In many FileMaker-driven environments, operational data lives deep inside custom layouts or requires developer-built reports. That often leads to:

• Bottlenecks – Users rely on admins or developers to generate reports.
  
  

• Outdated Reports – Exports and PDFs go stale quickly.
  
  

• Lack of Visibility – Stakeholders outside the FileMaker platform have no direct access to live data.
  
  

• Disjointed Collaboration – Team members track KPIs in separate spreadsheets or tools.
  
  

Claris Studio solves this by extending FileMaker data into accessible, real-time dashboards that anyone on your team can use.

What Claris Studio Dashboards Offer

Claris Studio allows you to create clean, interactive dashboards using live FileMaker data—no coding required. Features include:

• Browser-Based Access
  Dashboards are viewed and updated in the cloud, with no need to open FileMaker or install special software.
  
  

• Drag-and-Drop Design Tools
  Build charts, tables, and metric summaries using intuitive tools—ideal for managers, not just developers.
  
  

• Live FileMaker Data Sync
  Dashboards reflect the most current data from your FileMaker solution, giving teams real-time visibility.
  
  

• Custom KPIs by Role or Team
  Display only what’s relevant for sales, production, inventory, service, or management users.
  
  

• Secure Sharing and Permissions
  Limit access by team or client, ensuring each dashboard only displays approved data.

Capturing data through web forms is an essential part of modern business operations—whether you’re collecting leads, customer feedback, or service requests. But when web submissions live in disconnected systems or require manual input into FileMaker, opportunities can slip through the cracks. That’s where Claris Studio changes the game.

With Claris Studio, you can build custom web forms that sync directly into your FileMaker solution—no double entry, no lost data, no delays. Whether you’re managing sales pipelines, support tickets, or event signups, Claris Studio streamlines the entire data collection process and keeps your FileMaker app automatically updated.

The Problem with Traditional Web Forms

Standard form builders (like Google Forms or Wufoo) often require clunky workarounds or third-party tools to sync data with FileMaker. That can lead to:

• Manual Data Transfers – Someone has to export and import CSVs.
  
  

• Delayed Updates – Time-sensitive leads or service requests sit unprocessed.
  
  

• Data Inconsistency – Field names don’t match, formats break, or records are duplicated.
  
  

• Disconnected Workflows – Form submissions aren’t integrated into business logic or reporting tools.
  
  

For teams already using FileMaker, Claris Studio offers a direct, efficient alternative.

How Claris Studio Web Forms Integrate Seamlessly with FileMaker

Claris Studio gives you a browser-based environment to build forms that connect natively to your FileMaker database. With it, you can:

• Design Branded, Mobile-Ready Web Forms
  Create sleek, responsive forms with custom fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, and logic.
  
  

• Automatically Sync Form Submissions
  As soon as someone submits a form, the data appears in your FileMaker app—no import/export needed.
  
  

• Use Shared Views for Easy Publishing
  Post links to forms on your website, share them by email, or embed them directly into client portals.
  
  

• Map to Existing FileMaker Tables
  Choose where data lands—whether it’s creating new leads, support tickets, feedback entries, or scheduling requests.
  
  

• Control Access and Permissions
  Restrict access to forms or create authenticated submissions for clients and partners.
  
  

Use Cases for Claris Studio + FileMaker Integration

Claris Studio is ideal for:

• Lead Generation Forms – Instantly create and qualify leads inside your CRM.
  
  

• Customer Surveys and Feedback – Capture customer responses and trigger follow-up tasks.
  
  

• Work Orders and Service Requests – Clients can submit requests that generate real-time tickets in FileMaker.
  
  

• Event Registrations – Automatically log signups and prepare logistics behind the scenes.
  
  

Because Claris Studio is built by the same team behind FileMaker, syncing is seamless, secure, and scalable.
