Recording forms and fillings from website in Filemaker

Executive Summary

This is database template created in FileMaker 11 that has a manual and auto importing feature which imports the data filing form fields from a given website link at a regular interval every day. The FileMaker script reads the form rows from a given website URL and stores them in the FileMaker database as individual records. The script also further reads the content of the text file links attached with each forms in the website and parses the different fields and their respective data into the FileMaker database.

The FileMaker template provides the user ability to edit the website URL settings by entering the record limit parameter i.e at a time how many records can be fetched from the URL. The script is optimized properly so that it does the importing efficiently in a less time span. Features and functions from 360Works Scriptmaster plug-in have been used in the FileMaker template to accomplish this job.
