=== SecureFM vs. FileMaker's Script Triggers and Custom Menus Script Triggers in Calculations
- SecureFM: Can trigger scripts from within a calculation. For
example, a branch of a calculation's Case statement can trigger a
script. Implications: script triggers don't need to be defined for
each layout or each field, but rather can be defined in a central
location (the field definition of an unstored calculation).
- FMP: Script triggers need to be associated separately with each
layout or each instance of a field on a layout.

Script Triggers by Context Change
- SecureFM: Dynamically trigger a script when the user changes the
active file, layout, table occurrence, window, or mode. The script
trigger can apply globally or just to specific layouts, windows, etc.
Any newly created file, TO, layout, or window is automatically
included.
- FMP: Can only trigger scripts based on layout change (not table
occurrence, window, or file changes). Layout script triggers are only
associated with specific layouts, not globally. Each new layout must
be manually linked.

Script Trigger Compatibility
- SecureFM: SecureFM script triggers will work in FileMaker 7 through 11.
- FMP: Script triggers only work in FileMaker 10 and 11.

Universal Variables
- SecureFM: Can set and evaluate variables which are available across
all files, no need to pass their values as Script Parameters or
Script Results.
- FMP: Variables are only either local or global (limited to a single file).

Modifiable Menus
- SecureFM: Disable or modify ALL menus, keyboard shortcuts, and
window buttons.
- Custom Menus: Can't modify Format, Scripts, or Windows menus.

Menus for Multiple Files
- SecureFM: Define menus centrally. You can define sets of menus to
apply to all files open, or to specific files, table occurrences,
layouts, and/or windows.
- Custom Menus: Menu sets must be created file-by-file. Can only
invoke them by layout or initiated by script.

Dynamic Linking of Menus to Context
- SecureFM: Can tie menus to context elements (file, table
occurrence, layout, window). Much easier to implement and more
reliable, since menus can apply to new layouts automatically.
- Custom Menus: Menus can be changed only by script or by linking to
each layout. If using the layout method, this needs to be done
manually for each new layout.

Dynamic Menu Grouping
- SecureFM: Create custom menus for groups of files, table
occurrences, layouts, and/or windows that share some common element
in their names (using GREP syntax).
- Custom Menus: Nothing equivalent.

Layout Mode
- SecureFM: Allows you to define menus in ALL modes, including Layout mode.
- Custom Menus: NO control of menus in Layout mode.

Quit / Exit
- SecureFM: Allows you to disable, rename and script the Quit/Exit menu item.
- Custom Menus: NO control over Quit/Exit.

Hot Keys
- SecureFM: Remap ANY key - with or without a modifier like Cmd or
Ctrl - to call your own custom scripts! Conditionally apply to any or
all files, TO's, layouts, or windows; no additional work required
when adding new layouts.
- Custom Menus: MUST have modifiers. NOT dynamic by context. MUST be
linked to menu items. MUST change custom menus to change active
keyboard shortcuts.
- OnLayoutKeystroke: Must be manually linked to each layout.
Therefore, you must remember to manually connect the script trigger
to each newly created layout and revisit each layout when if you wish
to change or remove the script.

Menubar / Kiosk Mode
- SecureFM: Remove the entire FileMaker menu bar with a single
command. Disable all keyboard shortcuts, and disable window buttons
such as close, maximize, and minimize.
- Custom Menus: Nothing equivalent.
