Filesoft Academy — Course 3 Lesson 3
Created by Plato · Filesoft

Completed example: unstored cOverdue Text calculation and conditional cue on Follow-up Overview.

Requires FileMaker Pro 26 desktop, sold separately. Open a local copy using Admin and a blank password. This teaching file is not a production security template. Do not enable hosting for the exercise.

An Open task with a nonempty due date before today displays Overdue. Today, future dates and Done tasks do not. Calculation is unstored; an idle screen is not guaranteed to refresh at midnight. Refresh or reopen before checking date-dependent results. Task data and existing validation are preserved. Report design is unchanged.

Follow the lesson and worksheet. Use a disposable copy for date/status tests; do not disable required-date validation. Preserve the original. Save and close before backing up.

Owner layout correction: overdue cue is vertically centered with zero top/bottom text margins; original field dimensions retained.
