PHOENIX. July 8, 2002. They have said that a picture is worth a thousand
words, but it's worth more! Imagine looking at a report with a long list of
numbers and trying to ascertain your expenses. And your boss wants some
immediate decisions. Or your company has been doing really well and you
would like to know who to reward for their efforts. Having a picture of the
data is so valuable, and it is what people call data visualization.

prepare the chart/report. What if the data changes, and what if you don't
have another application, and what if you don't have the luxury of time on
your side?

Waves in Motion - Revealed: Speeding up FileMaker Portals
[ANN] Waves in Motion Announces Strategy Paper - Speed up your Portals
The best kept secret at Waves in Motion - Revealed!
Phoenix, AZ - June 16, 2002
This strategy is guaranteed to improve the speed and efficiency of your
solution and heighten the end user experience. Your users will notice an
increase in performance and enjoy using it, and in the end, save you time
and money.
As the number of records in your business solution grows, you may reach a
point where it keeps getting slower and slower. Why? Simple! The more data
that is shown through a portal, the slower it gets. Portals can be very
slow, especially if you are showing unstored information that needs to
calculated on every portal row.
Although there are several solutions to solve this problem, we recommend
that you use the Portal Filter plug-in. Using Portal Filter can provide the
following benefits:
- Filtering is faster than finding
- Reduce the hindrance of unstored calculations
- Filter large amounts of portal data for...
