Find problems instantly with our new problem dot.Find out how you can improve your solution - get rid of unused objects.
Here are some key features of "Analyzer X":
FileMaker Pro 7 support - Analyzer 4.0 has been completely redesigned to work with the Database Design Report (DDR) generated by FileMaker Developer 7. If you wish to analyze a DDR from a previous version of FileMaker, please look at our Analyzer 3.6 product.
Track Multiple Solutions and Analyses - You can run Analyzer 4.0 on multiple FileMaker solutions and then run multiple analyses on each of those solutions. Keeping track of these multiple analyses in Analyzer 4.0 is easy.
Compare Any Two Analyses - One powerful feature of Analyzer 4.0 is the ability to run a comparison between two different analyses for a single solution. The resulting report will outline in great detail what the differences are between the two. This is a useful aid in tracking changes between versions of a solution.
Red Dots™ - Follow the red dots to find problems lurking deep in your FileMaker solution. Red problem dots appear for problems like missing fields, tables, functions, scripts, relationships with non-matching key field types.
Orange Dots™ - Orange dots in Analyzer 4.0 indicate dependencies. When an item is flagged with an orange dot, there are elements on which it depends. For example, a calculation may have other fields that it relies on to complete its calculation. In this case the fields will be reported as dependencies. It will also report functions as dependencies.
Green Dots™ - Items flagged with a green dot are referenced by other elements. For example, a field my be referenced by a relationship, by being present on a layout, or by a particular script step. (Excludes merge fields and fields included in an evaluate function.)
Faster Then Ever Before - The amount of time it takes to read the Database Design Report (DDR) and do the analysis has been greatly reduced. Simple solutions will be analyzed in seconds while complex solutions are processed in minutes.
Instant Searching - Analyzer 4.0 contains a powerful search engine that can instantly search your solution for elements that match your criteria. For example, you can find every "Show Message" script step or every layout named "Layout #1." Search results can also be printed out in a report format. Any developer faced with making a change across an entire solution will find this feature invaluable.
Script Tracing - Analyzer makes following scripts easy. To make navigation simpler, each "Perform Script" step is a hyperlink that will take you directly to the script being called. There is also a complete Script Trace report that replaces every "Perform Script" with the contents of the script itself. Complex scripts become easier to understand with Analyzer 4.0.
Comprehensive Documentation - Analyzer records every detail of every element in your solution. You can then add notes to any element. When you need documentation, just print the element reports. In Analyzer 4.0, you can also print a single report containing all your notes. This reporting puts all your functional documentation together in one place.
Easy Navigation - navigating through the analysis of your solution is effortless. You can maneuver between the analysis results from one database to another, one element to another, or even between any previously viewed items in your history.
