![]() The Tasks Starter Solution has the same layout, though it is flatter and looks more modern in design. ![]() The layout is still the same, however, updated icons give the look and feel of a better application that is more visually appealing. This Starter Solution changed themes from Luminous to Enlightened. Instead of having a tab between the picture of the inventory and a description, a description text box is on the left hand side making better use of space. The fields are still the same, though, arranged differently to make it easier to navigate. It is still the same theme, but the design looks modern with it being flatter. The Inventory Starter Solution, like the Contacts, only has a few minor changes. The main difference is the photo for the contact doesn't take up as much space and has data directly under it. The fields are the same but arranged a little differently to make navigating easier. The Contacts Starter Solution made a few changes from version 14. Let's take a look at the four new Basic Starter Solutions. This is a great thing as we often hear of citizen developers wanting to create a new application from a Starter Solution but found the 'Advanced Solutions' to have too much going on. They then made 4 new Starter Solutions that are more Basic. Or, if you already have FileMaker 15 open, you can select File > New From Starter Solution.įileMaker kept the same 16 solutions from the last release and deemed them 'Advanced Solutions'. You can choose one of the four new Starter Solutions, or you can scroll down to "See Advanced Solutions" to view the other 16 templates. Once FileMaker is installed, to build a new application with a Starter Solution simply open FileMaker Pro 15 and the Launch Center will come up. If you don’t already own FileMaker, you can download a free FileMaker Trial to give the Starter Solutions a try. The main perk of the Starter Solutions is having a template to hit the ground running that is visually appealing. Luckily FileMaker comes with 20 Starter Solutions (templates) that make starting a new application easier and to customize to fit to your needs. Your shotty review is seen as grain of salt though my personal experienced eyes and hands on knowledge of FileMaker.Starting a new application, on any platform, can be very overwhelming. I assume you have no real use for such powerful software and or have zero idea how to scale FileMaker to its best abilities. You have no idea what you're yammering on about the multi-billion dollar oil company I work for employes FileMaker, it's rich with features that are usefull, easy to use and the server application has been extremely rugged and very useful. Then that would be something to be proud of. Integrate with iCloud (competing with Amazon and Google offerings), and server-based commercial databases, such as Oracle. Hire top experts to design and implement such a system correctly and cleanly leaving no remnants of the old Filemaker (there's nothing there worth keeping). ![]() Then, OpenOffice? Another mediocre attempt at creating a PC-based RDBMS.įilemaker should be scrapped. The last release allows one to push an Access application to a server, but you cannot use most "strengths" of the Access system. MS Access is far superior, and it's still a mediocre product that gets worse with age, adding bloat to bloat, with each release. It has and I guess always will be an expensive commercial product that is no more than a first year computer science class project without the input from professor telling them how to separate the relational database subsystem from the view of the database contents, or instructing them on relational database theory. ![]() It's design and implementation shows a thorough lack of knowledge of relational database theory and practice. I've played with Filemaker over the years and have always come away not only disappointed but outraged. ![]()
