All of these time-saving tasks are well-suited to school and district central offices, where a managed large centralized database is more efficient than having different departments tracking data on flat file spreadsheets.įileMaker Pro 11 and FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced create databases using the same file format (.fp7) as versions 7 through 10, enabling users to work with older files. Users can import several tables at one time, copy functions from one FileMaker Pro 11 database file to another, create custom menus, debug scripts, and more.
For example, the application's Quick Start screen simplifies the creation of a new database, enabling users to begin with an existing Excel, Tab Delimited, or Comma Separated data file or use one of several Starter Solution templates that can be further customized as needed.įileMaker Pro 11 Advanced has all the features of FileMaker Pro 11 plus a host of powerful customization options to build and modify reports more quickly. The latest versions of FileMaker Pro 11 and FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced incorporate a host of new tools and interface enhancements to make database construction, management and deployment easier and more robust than previous editions. Database applications also offer enhanced data security, saving changes automatically when users move from one data entry field to another. FileMaker Pro 11 simplifies viewing and printing because users can store records in linked data tables. Additionally, users can easily enter spreadsheet data incorrectly or make mistakes when sorting or updating. It's difficult to see all rows and columns in a single screen or print large data tables.
While spreadsheet applications may be sufficient for simple data management, storing large amounts of data in a single spreadsheet table can prove unwieldy.
