! Important: In this script you must call the script step Get(ScriptParameter) to get the NFC data from the read tag. The main script reruns the sub script when a tag was scanned.

When continuously scanning and saving the values to variable, make sure you use a global variable.

You will need to build your logic inside the script which runs after scanning (see options below) When other steps follow, they will be executed even before you scanned a tag.

This script step needs to be the last script step in your script.

Purpose: Start or stop scanning for NFC tags.įull script step documentation by Claris:

The script step: Script step: Configure NFC Reading (Read/Cancel). Since version 19.1.2 the format results as JSON.

“Well Known” format of type “smart poster” (which is a combination of URI and text)įileMaker Go can read NFC tags of types 1 through 5 that contain data in the NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF).

The options include an action (Read or Cancel scanning for NFC tags), a script to be run when a tag is read, an optional script parameter, an optional timeout to cancel the read operation after seconds, and an optional Continuous Reading until the user cancels or the timeout parameter is met.įileMaker Go supports NFC tags using the following formats: NFC devices can also act as electronic identity documents and keycards.įileMaker Go 19 now has the ability to scan or stop scanning for NFC tags using the new script step: Configure NFC Reading Some uses of NFC devices include contactless payment systems, similar to those used in credit cards and electronic ticket smart cards, and allow mobile payment to replace or supplement these systems, social networking and for sharing contacts, photos, videos, and other files. NFC (near field communication) is a set of communication protocols by which two electronic devices communicate when they are within close proximity of one another. In this blog I’ll share some bite-sized bits of information and notes that can serve as a reference and quick overview of technical specs for fellow developers to get a jumpstart.

Leveraging the power of NFC technologie is possible thanks to a new set of functions and script steps shipped in FileMaker 19. I’ve dived into the possibilities of working with NFC Tags and Claris FileMaker recently.
