7 Steps to Writing a Great Question in the FME Community

1. Search First

Before posting, search the FME Community to see if your question has already been asked or answered. You might find a solution right away.

2. Write a Clear Title

Keep your title short, specific, and descriptive. A clear title helps others quickly understand what your question is about.

3. Explain the Situation

Describe what you’re trying to do, what’s not working, and what you’ve already tried. A bit of background goes a long way.

4. Share Examples

Include screenshots, error messages, or any other information that will help someone else understand the issue you’re facing. The more context you provide, the easier it is for others to help.

5. Add Key Details

Let others know which FME product, version, and operating system you’re using. These details often make troubleshooting faster.

6. Tag Thoughtfully

Add 1–3 relevant tags (such as FME version, transformer names, or formats) to help the right experts find your post.

7. Follow Up

Check back for replies, join the discussion, and mark the Best Answer when your question is solved.
