Similarly, the Layout/Report Assistant has been streamlined to make that side of your FMP work easier and more manageable. Still, all but the most experienced users should take care here. On the other hand, defining new tables and their fields was not difficult in previous versions. Simply adding a table because you can’t think of the proper place for data is not to be advised. It’s almost always better practice to plan your tables ahead – especially where relationships are involved, whether or not you start with an Entity Relationship Diagram. It has to be said that this may trick unwary users into a somewhat empirical (aka ‘unplanned’!) approach to data structure. Field types can also easily be changed on the fly. You can now create fields in Table View and start entering data right away immediately and without dropping out of what you’re doing. You can, for example, quickly show or hide fields without having to edit the underlying layout of your table. Their worth was proven many times during evaluation for this review. They make several routine (and some not so routine) operations easier to run. They truly do enhance the experience of novice and experienced users. The changes introduced in this version are far from cosmetic. The Filemaker User Interface specialists have surely been busy in the last year. But it’s one you probably will want to jump. The gap between FileMaker Pros 10 and 11 is not a chasm. They will make distinct differences to how well and how quickly results are achieved.
For more casual and less demanding users these improvements are still noticeable. There are several improvements for which those who work with FMP all day will surely bless FileMaker Inc. Our interaction with FileMaker Pro 11 has been rethought to sponsor big increases in usability and hence in productivity. Significantly this includes weighty improvements to the way tasks are approached. By ‘appearance’ must be inferred user-interface. This time the changes are mostly ones of appearance. In past upgrades, FileMaker Pro’s underlying database engine, networking and scripting features were improved – or rewritten. Since earlier reviews of FileMaker Pro have appeared on MyMac, this one concentrates on what’s new and/or improved in this latest version. It has a more robust feel to it than previous versions it’s more streamlined and friendlier than ever to the user. A year after the release of version 10 comes FileMaker Pro 11. FileMaker Pro continues to develop – steadily and incrementally.
