Here are a few of the new design tools available for the FileMaker Pro Advanced system:

• Button bar: FileMaker Pro Advanced now allows users to create groups of buttons that can be used for navigation or as custom toolbars. Each button, created automatically, maintains equal proportions as the window is resized, whether you have two buttons or 60. The button bar can be displayed horizontally or vertically, and the active state of each button can be shown.
• Color selection: One of the most common issues people face while creating a solution is choosing the perfect color for the layout. The color palette in FileMaker Pro Advanced displays colors that coordinate with the theme you have made so it is easier for you to choose. Once you select a color, additional options will be available to match what you have already chosen.
• In-field labels: FileMaker Pro Advanced allows you to simply your layouts by adding placeholder text or instructions inside of a specific field. The text will then disappear when you type the final text you want to have displayed within the FileMaker solution.
• Top and bottom navigation: You can easily move through your solution with new navigation options. FileMaker Pro Advanced will allow you to add buttons to the top and bottom bars that allow you to navigate through the entire layout. These parts remain static on the layout itself, so when you scroll through the entire solution your navigation will always be visible when you need it to be there.

The great thing about FileMaker is how it is always working to improve the user experience. Here are a few of the advancements with FileMaker 14

• Auto complete: When you type a letter or two into your solution, FileMaker 14 will make it so you instantly see a list of relevant script steps for increased efficiency. Use this feature when you are trying to finish a project on a deadline and need to work as quickly as possible.
• Easier to read scripts: FileMaker 14 offers support for blank lines, line numbers, indentation and syntax color — colors for the scripts and fields you are using. This will make it easier for you to enter the information into FileMaker as well as to read it later on when you are editing and finalizing your scripts.
• New Specify Calculation dialog box: This dialog box has been completely redesigned with the new FileMaker 14, giving it a refined and refreshed look. You will be able to increase your productivity with the auto-complete feature, as well as be able to search for the correct calculation functions you require.
• Script step descriptions: This feature of FileMaker 14 makes it possible for you to see exactly what a script step does, as well as allowing you to access the convenient in-line help option for any assistance that you might need while creating scripts or entering figures to create your FileMaker solutions.

If you are thinking of making the switch to FileMaker Pro Advanced, there are many advantages to doing so. Here are a few important ways FileMaker Pro Advanced can make your life much easier:

• Customize any functions you want: This is a computer program that will allow you to build your own functions, as well as copying and pasting them into any FileMaker file. Your solutions will be easier to import and exchange with others working with you. This also applies to the menus within FileMaker, as you can create, change, or delete specific menu items or the entire menu set that has already been created.
• Integrate it with other programs: FileMaker Pro Advanced will allow you to exchange and interact with data from other tech applications. You will also be able to create live, two-way connections with the Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL sources of data. It will make your life much easier at work to be able to share and use information in a more timely way, instead of being limited by a computer program.
• Share information with your team: One of the best aspects of FileMaker Pro Advances is how versatile it is, which makes sharing information and data among multiple people a breeze. You will be able to create and share solutions across iPads, iPhones, Macbooks and Windows. Connect up to five people on a network, or simply use FileMaker Server to securely share these solutions with a larger group.

Hey everybody and welcome back! Today we’ll be discussing how the latest software update for FileMaker Pro has improved user solution creation.

For Windows users, the software update will result in the program being more streamlined and intuitive. It has corrected issues that many people experienced in the past, including the number of field repetitions resetting to one after an auto-enter calculation was created, and database administrators being able to lock users out of a file by using basic security settings.

For those on OS X platforms, FileMaker will no longer have an error which causes the program to switch erratically to Browse mode and cause the program to close completely. As long as users download the update, they can look forward to a more rewarding experience.

As always thanks for watching, and be sure to check back here again soon for more helpful FileMaker tips and the latest industry news!

If you are looking to get investments to lift your company off the ground, there are different aspects you will need to keep in mind. Here are a few tips that will help you secure capital for your tech startup:

• Be clear about financial needs: When you are making your pitch to potential investors, it is crucial that you are completely upfront about the financial needs of your company. If you have a plan laid out and you advocate your needs in order to expand your company, venture capitalists will feel more confident investing in your tech startup.
• Build a strong case for investors: Of course, when speaking to investors, it is essential that you have a detailed description of what your company actually does. You do not, however, want to get bogged down in too much technical jargon, as this can have the effect of alienating those who might not be as well-informed as those within your startup.
• Have business-savvy partners: Your tech startup will need more than just people who are good at programming or creating new applications. This means having partners who are able to communicate with venture capitalists in a meaningful way. As long as you have employees who can do this, you will be in strong shape for forming lasting business bonds.

Spreading positive word of mouth about your tech startup is one of the most essential parts of your overall success. Here are a few tips that will help you expand the client base necessary for your company to thrive:

• Highlight existing problems: The product or service that you create should exist to address a certain problem that exists out in the world. What hole are you looking to plug up with your company? As long as your tech startup is striving to meet a specific goal, it will help keep every aspect of the business focused and as on task as possible.
• Identify your customer base: Of course, chances are that when your company is first starting out it will not address something felt by everybody. While it is a good idea to strive for universality, having a strong customer base will help your business to expand at a healthy rate. Identify the group you can work with the most and start there.
• Market your company toward them: When you are developing your tech startup's marketing strategy, you will want to tailor it to the specific group of people that you are trying to reach. If your main client base is younger people, for example, reaching them through digital media ads will be more effective than traditional spots on television.

If you are launching a tech startup, you will want to do everything possible to ensure its overall success. By planning ahead and working diligently, you can avoid the common pitfalls that can sink new companies. Here are a few tips that will help you successfully launch:

• Grow steadily and cautiously: When you are first launching your company, you want to make sure that you expand cautiously to avoid overextending yourself. A vast majority of startups fail within the first year of being launched, so pulling back on your spending and plans to expand can help ensure your long term success.
• Focus on one specific area: Instead of trying to conquer multiple areas of the tech world all at once, you should focus on one product or service at the very beginning. This will build the word of mouth for your business and ensure that the quality you offer is superior.
• Work with people you trust: While you are launching your tech startup, you should surround yourself with people you respect and can trust. If your company is populated with people you do not get along with, this can harm morale right off the bat, not to mention make it more difficult to get the work done in a timely manner.

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time we’ll be discussing how you can more effectively use FileMaker while at work.

One of the greatest features of FileMaker 14 is the “Reconnect to Server” option. You might not even be aware of its existence, as it is buried at the bottom of the What’s New page. This will allow you to walk away from your computer with the files still open without risk of losing the information you have entered.

The Script Workspace feature has also been cleaned up since the last version of FileMaker, so now writing and assembling scripts is a streamlined process. You can do more with the keyboard without having to reach for the mouse.

One of important aspect of getting your tech startup off the ground is pitching it to investors, the press and potential customers. Here are a few easy tips that will help you pitch your tech startup and build buzz for the company:

• Don't focus too heavily on numbers: When you are building your pitch, you do not want to get too bogged down in the day-to-day numbers. People are often interested in human experiences and tangible results and not just the bottom line. Numbers and figures should be left to the investors.
• Get to the point as quickly as possible: You also want to make sure that you get to the main point of your pitch sooner rather than later. If you focus too heavily on the build up, people in the audience will quickly begin to lose interest. Get to the meat of your pitch at the beginning and really capture everybody's attention.
• Keep the narrative arc interesting: Of course, what you say will need to be of interest in order to keep the focus of the group you are speaking to. This means providing a demonstration of your product or service if possible. Your talk will only be enhanced by showing off what you have developed, even if is only a short sneak peak of something in its early stages.

Here are a few easy ways you can improve and maximize your startup conference experience:

• Evaluate other startups: The great thing about these conferences is they give you an opportunity to learn more about other companies in your field and see what they are developing. You can see how your own tech startup stacks up, which can highlight any improvements or changes that need to be made, as well as what you are already doing well.
• Face to face meetings: It can often be hard to meet with in person with other people in the tech world, as a lot of business is done through email or over the phone. These meetings will put a face to the name and allow you to develop more of a relationship with contacts and clients. These opportunities do not come up every day, so it is crucial to take advantage of them when they do present themselves.
• Show off your product: If your tech startup has a specific product or service that you are eager to show off, a conference is a great place to do so. Even if what you are developing is in the early stages, you can give potential clients and customers a sneak preview of what you are planning on rolling out down the line. This can help to build buzz and press for your company, which will be important to its long term success.
