Hi all, I'm looking for someone to help me with updating the layout every minute. I've created a database that is linked to visits, allowing customers to order hot drinks from an iPad, and the office boy can view this information on the wall-mounted screen. Currently, the office boy manually presses a button to update the layout. Regards, ---

FileMaker is live data. You should not have to do anything to get the layout to update. A likely culprit is in the FMGo side where the selection is not being computed. Implicit commits happens when someone clicks/taps outside the field. You can script an explicit commit of this implicit commit is not occurring
