See how we use card windows to select records, then stack additional card windows to create new records, which may stack more card windows to select records from other tables, all with keyboard shortcuts for users who hate the mouse.
An unlocked example file will be available here before Pause.
Have examples you'd like to share? Post links here or bring them to the session and we'll pass the mic.
I'll be using the following demo file. Check it out beforehand with these credentials:

One challenge that we have relates to card windows compatibility in WebDirect - will you be discussing this ?
Thanks for the question, Dan. We can certainly discuss this during the session, and I would love to have true card windows in WebDirect. You can vote for that feature here:

Our solution was developed for Pro, and also includes keyboard shortcuts which won't work on WebDirect due to keystroke script triggers not being supported on that platform.
Still, you don’t have to change much to make it work, even if not in an ideal fashion. Card windows will appear in WebDirect, just not as card windows. The existing script triggers would not work in WebDirect, but I just had to add one more trigger to the search field and one new script per selector to get this to function. I’ve revised the file and the link to include this functionality.
I've updated the file (at the same link) to include the improvements made during the session, thanks to David Thorp from Adatasol.
Hey Lisette, tried to open the demo. Its looking for an account, and the standard Admin no password isn't working.
It's up higher in this thread.
