The customer needed to simplify and speed up the process of uploading large number of images into their database used for recording roof inspections. Unfortunately, FileMaker does not natively support inserting multiple images at once in a defined order. As a result, users had to upload images one by one, which was not only time-consuming but also required manually selecting the correct order to ensure proper sequencing.
We implemented a solution based on a WebViewer and JavaScript, allowing users to conveniently select multiple images at once. Within the WebViewer, we implemented JavaScript code that opens a system dialog for selecting multiple files.
After image selection, JavaScript arranges the files in the order they were picked and passes them to FileMaker, where they are saved in the correct sequence. This eliminates the need to click on each image manually and track their order — the entire process is completed in a single step. This solution significantly accelerated the image upload process.
