Create Reports Like Never Before

FileMaker Charts

Now your data can take on a whole new dimension with FileMaker Charts in FileMaker Pro 11. Create eye-catching reports in five different styles including vertical bar, horizontal bar, area, line and pie charts. Plus, make high-impact web dashboards by publishing your charts to the web using Instant Web Publishing.

Create Quick Spreadsheet Format Reports

Make reports in a spreadsheet-like fashion and get even more out of your data. Group and summarize your information on the fly directly in Table View to create professional looking reports. Easily modify your reports by adding, sorting, or hiding fields and records. Create reports in FileMaker Pro even if you've never used a database before.

Enhanced Layout/Report Assistant

It's even easier to create customized reports in FileMaker Pro using the enhanced Layout/Report Assistant. A new streamlined interface guides you step-by-step in building reports with grouped data. Select styles and themes. Add headers, footers, subtotals, or scripts. Create polished reports in minutes with the improved Layout/Report Assistant.

Snapshot Link

Sometimes you need a report where a set of records stays the same but the details change. Let's say you want to track the results of sales leads received yesterday. Create a Snapshot Link file to save a specific set of records at a point in time. This also preserves the same layout, view, and sort order. Any changes you make to the file will be updated in the database. Plus email the Snapshot Link to anyone who has FileMaker Pro 11 for easy collaboration.

Recurring Import

In FileMaker Pro 11 you can establish a Recurring Import from Microsoft Excel, CSV or TAB files. Set it up once, and every time you open your database, the data from your Excel spreadsheet or data file will update automatically in FileMaker Pro. Imported data is read-only. Use this data to easily create sales reports, track workflow, and collaborate with others.

Boost Your Productivity

Quick Find

In FileMaker Pro 11 you can search for information just as you would in a web browser. Enter a word or phrase in the search box and FileMaker Pro will search all fields in your layout - right in Browse mode. Even customize Quick Find to search only certain layouts or fields. Finding your information is a snap with Quick Find.

Inspector

Design your databases more efficiently than before with the new Inspector - a master tool palette that organizes all the layout objects and properties in one convenient place. Now all your favorite design tools are right at your fingertips. With the new Inspector, you'll save time and discover things you can do to your layout that you never knew existed before.

Object Badges

Visually identify different properties in your layouts with new color-coded icons. Quickly spot fields and objects that contain Conditional Formatting or Script Triggers. Determine which fields are searchable via Quick Find. Plus distinguish between indexed fields from the same table and fields from related tables.

Invoice Starter Solution

Managing your small business just got easier with the new Invoice Starter Solution - a professionally designed template built right into FileMaker Pro 11. Track all your product and customer details. Create, manage, and print customized invoices for every order.

Improved Quick Start Screen

The Quick Start Screen in FileMaker Pro 11 has a new, streamlined interface to help you get started more quickly than ever before. Create a new database, manage favorite files, or find helpful resources - all from one screen. The Quick Start Screen appears when you open FileMaker Pro, or you can access it anytime from the Help menu.

Text Highlighting

Use highlighting to emphasize words or numbers in fields. Simply select your data then click the text highlight button. Identify important text for yourself or your colleagues.

Build a Better Database

Layout Folders

Organize all your layouts in folders - it's as easy as drag and drop. From the Manage Layout dialog box you can create new layouts, folders, or separators. Plus, easily edit, copy, and delete layouts from the same screen.

Portal Filtering

Add Portal Filtering in your layouts to automatically show only the related records that you specify. Filters leverage the full power of the calculation engine. Display data the way you want without using complex table occurrences or relationships.

Scripting Enhancements

Create and modify scripts through the Button Setup dialog box in Layout Mode - no need to go through separate menus and dialog boxes. This streamlined approach can also be used when creating Script Triggers, opening and closing script steps and creating scripts in Custom Menus in FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced. Get even more Script Triggers in FileMaker Pro 11. Trigger scripts to run when entering or exiting a layout, before an object is validated, or when changing between list, form or table view.

Improved File Security

Add even more protection to your databases with new file access security features in FileMaker Pro 11. Authorize specific files to access tables, scripts, and value lists in your file. Plus prevent your databases from being opened with previous versions of FileMaker Pro.

Variables in Find Requests and Merge Fields

Leverage the power of variables in scripted finds and merge fields. By using local or global variables instead of global fields or unstored calculation fields, you can simplify your database schema and increase your database performance.
