Publish to iCal
Prefer to see your calendar in the built in Calendar app, or Outlook, or Google Calendar – you can subscribe to your calendar from iCal just by copying a URL. And it can be filtered the same way as the regular calendar, so you only share the events you want to see. (Server-Powered feature)

Subscribe to iCal
Maybe some of the events in your corporate calendar are important when your scheduling events for your department. Or the weather is important when you’re scheduling your tennis court. Subscribe to an iCal feed as easily as you subscribe to FileMaker data. (Server-Powered feature)

Server-side scripting
For web calendars (Server-Powered), whether it’s for validating data entry, or adding additional data, a server-side script in your database can be run every time an event is added or changed.

Custom fields for web site data-entry
Asking your salespeople or installers to enter specific information into your calendar on your web site? Why not give them the specific fields they need from FileMaker? Then you know you’re getting the information that you need. (Server-Powered feature)

Multiple data sources
Sometimes it’s not enough to know your sales people’s schedule – sometimes you need to overlay your deadlines for your jobs. Or your installers availability. You can overlay more data from the same table, another table, or a completely different file. You can even overlay iCal feeds. (Server-Powered feature)

Over 25 different Languages
Chances are we support your language. The months, days and interface elements automatically translate to your language. If you don’t see your language, we can add it for you.

Any Time Zone
Managing calendars in multiple time zones, this tool will work for you. Store the event times in FileMaker in UTC, and soSIMPLE will display them in the local time of whatever computer is being used.

Endlessly Customizable

soSIMPLE was designed so that you can add a robust scalable calendar to your solution, with a lot of flexibility, and without any coding. But sometimes you want to take it further – maybe a specific type of timeline, or multiple timelines; your own specialized drop-downs or validation on your server-side fields; maybe a custom workflow, or even a full soup-to-nuts FileMaker-based scheduling solution. We’re here to help. Allow our team of professional developers to work with you on creating your perfect calendar solution.
