A FileMaker Approach:
The Golden Guide to the Wizardry of WorkFlow
What Makes a “Wizard” Truly Good and Magical?
1. Break Big Burdens into Simple Steps: Good wizardry divides complex tasks into clear, manageable pieces, letting each step feel like a friendly nudge forward.
2. Guide with a Clear, Visual Flow: Lead team members through a logical, story-like sequence with visual cues like progress bars and real-time feedback, ensuring data is captured effortlessly.
3. Minimize Cognitive Load and Errors: A good leader knows an attention-deficit impacts everyone’s focus! Simplify screens and streamline choices A database wizard can make mistakes nearly impossible and tasks feel effortless.
4. Tailor to Each Traveler: Dwarves, halflings and elves have unique needs and different roles in the story. Forging an axe is a very different task than avoiding detection. And that’s different than thwarting a rampaging marauder before it wreaks havoc. Customize screens for each user and task.
5. Give Team Members Certainty: Ensure travelers always know their progress, with a confirmation and clear next steps. “Success! You’ve reached the Forest Safehaven and met the Lady of Song & Wisdom. Now, here’s what’s next.”
6. Facilitate Full Completion: Verify required steps are properly completed and all necessary data is captured. Campfires from breakfast need dousing before voyaging forward.
7. Weave Cultural Wisdom: Like a Wise Wizard, ease challenges with gentle nudges, embedding the fellowship’s values and policies in each step, with a playful spark. Like any Wise Wizard of Lore, support team members with wise nudges and simple questions, mitigating challenges before they arise, with a smile…and a gentle touch of playfulness now and then.
A database should be a trusty companion, not a riddle. Are you ready for the Bright Wizard's process and magical flow? Get started today.
A final word to fellow wizards: When you think you’ve simplified a process or screen to its limit, press it one step further. Your clients will love you for it.
