Server Manager is a convenient way to keep track and manage all your FileMaker Servers. It syncs your server list over iCloud so your servers are available on any device wherever you are. It shows schedules in your current time zone so you know exactly when a schedule will run or has ran. Compatibility with the Shortcuts App allows you to get server info into other apps and services.

Servers, Passwords and iCloud

Servers

Keep a list of all your servers. The icon will update when you connect to show you the OS the server is running on. To sort your server the way you want you can tap the edit button on iOS or just simply drag the servers in macOS.

Passwords

Server Manager can keep your passwords safe and easy to access. When you login to your server simply check the box to "Save in Keychain" and your credentials are securely stored in your Keychain. If you would like to change the credentials you can just click the user icon to logout and start again. You can even login with your Claris ID when you are using a Claris FileMaker Cloud server. If you have MFA enabled you will be prompted for the code. After that if you save your credentials you will be immediately logged into your server using the refresh token that was saved. To login to your server you will be asked for your device password, confirmation on your Apple Watch or Touch/Face ID.

iCloud Sync
Your server list and passwords can be synced with iCloud to each of your devices. iCloud sync requires iCloud Drive to be enabled along with Keychain.

Shortcuts

Use the shortcuts app to fetch info about your servers automatically. Incorporate the results into other workflows.

  • Get Server status
  • Get Volume Statistics
  • List Clients Connected
  • List Databases
  • List Schedules

In the example image here I am checking the status of my schedules. I get the server schedules then loop the results. When there is an error I am adding it to a ToDo list. Then in the morning I am alerted there are schedules that need my attention. Its like magic!

The schedule editor allows you to edit your schedule in an intuitive interface with native date pickers. Use the search bar to get to the database you are running your schedule from quickly.
