Description

FileMaker Pro Advanced, a data management software, is designed to help businesses track inventory, organize projects, and manage contacts. It is run on the Mac, Windows, and iOS platforms and in a web browser.

In FileMaker Pro Advanced, you create your database from a predefined template, by importing your data from a spreadsheet, or by creating a new database from scratch.

You can also build your database by importing data from spreadsheets created by other applications, such as Microsoft Excel. The third option is to build your database from scratch.

It is possible to view your data in different chart views which makes it easier to compare and contrast data. You can also generate custom reports that can be exported in PDF or Office Open XML .XLSX format. FileMaker Pro Advanced also provides a training center, resource center, forum, video tutorials, and demos you can reference for help.

FileMaker Pro Advanced saves data in a proprietary format. However, you can also export your data to a variety files including.PDF and.XLSX. You can also share databases with team members via the web or iOS devices with the FileMaker Go app.
