The great thing about FileMaker is that it is always changing and advancing to make it easier for users to create and run solutions. This is particularly true of FileMaker Pro Advanced, which includes all of the features and functions of FileMaker Pro, with a whole host of development and customization tools. This means users can design and run solutions faster than they could in the past, as well as getting analyses that were not always available in the past.

Here are some of the ways users can create better solutions with FileMaker Pro Advanced:

• Custom functions: Users can build their own functions and also copy, paste or import them into any other type of FileMaker server or platform.
• Custom menus: This allows people to change, edit, create or delete specific menu items or entire menu sets without changing the entire solution.
• Database design report: FileMaker Pro Advanced means users can run comprehensive reports on all elements of the created database outline.
• Database encryption: Enable AES 256-bit encryption with FileMaker Pro Advanced. This means protecting all of the data on a FileMaker server.
• Data viewer: Be able to monitor fields, variables and calculations while troubleshooting. No longer will you have to exit a solution to run diagnostic testing.
• Multiple table import: Solutions can be built or modified faster by importing multiple tables at the same time. This will save untold time while working with FileMaker.

The great thing about FileMaker is that it is ideally suited for any individual's needs. Not only can users quickly create and run solutions that work seamlessly across a number of platforms — including iPad, iPhone, Windows and Mac — that data can be easily shared with others.

You do not need any sort of programming skills in order to use the FileMaker Platform. Other resources require extensive, not to mention pricey, programming platforms. They can take weeks to put together and deploy correctly, and can often require separate projects for desktops, mobile devices and web browsers.

Here are a few reasons to use the FileMaker Platform:

• Do it yourself: If you are not the handiest person when it comes to technology, you will still find the FileMaker platform easy to use. There are guides and demos that will walk you through how to create the right solution for your data.
• Multi-platform: One of the best aspects of the FileMaker Platform is that users are not really limited with where their information and solutions can be created and displayed. Whether you own an iPhone or Mac, FileMaker will be able to adapt well. Other solutions and programs can only be supported by certain platforms.
• Save time: The solutions in the FileMaker Platform can be created and run in only a matter of hours. With other programs it can take much longer to get them up and working, costing your business time and money.

Hey everybody and welcome back! Today we’ll be discussing how you can better use FileMaker with iOS.

One of the best aspects of FileMaker on either the iPad or iPhone is the rich texting editing option. FileMaker allows you to choose the size, color and font of the text used. Highlight the really important data with the italic, bold or underlining preferences.

You will also be able to add a script to control whether or not the keyboard appears in your solution. FileMaker lets you tap into and scroll through a field without the keyboard getting in the way.

One of the great aspects of FileMaker is how developers are always working to make the program work more efficiently. This is especially important for those who store a high amount of crucial data. Here are a few things that are new with FileMaker Server 14:

• Reconnect to sever: The FileMaker Server will not cause users to lose their work if they suddenly find themselves disconnected from their network. Should the server go down, FileMaker automatically reconnects when it is available again, bringing users right back to where they were in their solution when the disruption happened.
• Security enhancements: There are enhanced password controls with FileMaker Server 14. The administration console will assess the strength of a password before it is even created and set, so users will know whether or not they are going with something that is either strong or weak. FileMaker will also encourage the creation of a password hint, as well as setting a 4-digit pin that will allow someone to reset the password.
• Standby server: For those server administrators who are more experienced, FileMaker Server 14 allows a new standby server option to ensure that business data is always available when it is needed. Should a primary server go down, each user will have a set of commands to type in that will switch everything over to the standby server. All information on the standby server is also included in any scheduled backups.
