Mac Menu Bar and Dock Access

If enabled by your installation, Genie adds a small menu bar icon on macOS so you can reach it quickly from anywhere.

  • Open the full Genie window, even when you are not in Script Workspace or Layout mode
  • Show or hide the Genie window
  • Open Settings

Look at the right side of the macOS menu bar for the Genie icon.

Click the Genie icon in the macOS menu bar and choose the Genie window action. This is useful when you want to ask a question, review history, or open Settings without opening Script Workspace first.

If the Genie window is minimized, click its Dock icon to bring it back.

  • Use the menu bar while FileMaker is full-screen to bring Genie forward quickly.
