Presents a new dialog box that allows users to more easily map imported source data to FIleMaker. The improvement in the experience is seen in this version 18.
FileMaker was born as an application for database administration. Today it is much more than that: it allows us to access inventory, manage relationships with customers. It is perfect for various inventories and directories: students, collections, medical files. His main clients value his management for the business database administration.
FileMaker 18 improves the overall interface. This improvement in the data import, allows you to retrieve spreadsheets and other existing database applications. But in the opposite direction there are also improvements. The scripts can be exported as well as log data and data.
But there are also improvements in security. As data protection becomes increasingly important, FileMaker is not far behind. We can configure who accesses the database and what data can you consult. Now we have a new window to manage users and security. From it we can configure access to each of the parts of the application. On the other hand, it improves with recovery of registered information. Files can now be easily recovered after a server or connection crash.
