iPhone and desktop design tools, and superior file management for today's media-intensive
applications. FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced adds additional development and management tools.
The FileMaker Go 12 for iPad
[http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filemaker-go-12-for-ipad/id508235916?mt=8 ] and iPhone
[http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filemaker-go-12-for-iphone/id508238074?mt=8 ] apps are
available free on the App Store. The free download of FileMaker Go 12 makes it amazingly
easy for everyone to run iOS database apps created by FileMaker Pro 12.
The new 64-bit versions of FileMaker Server 12 and FileMaker 12 Server Advanced
improve performance on wide area networks, enhance support for large databases, and add
fast file and multimedia-content streaming.
"Databases only boost productivity if people genuinely enjoy using them," said Ryan
Rosenberg, vice president, marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. "Everyone wants a great
database, but not everyone is a great designer. Let FileMaker 12 handle the design and
you'll create dazzling databases that are incredibly easy to use, on iPad, iPhone, desktop
and the web."
Top Globalized elements include:
- Localized versions in Czech, Russian and Turkish
- Templates in Arabic, Hebrew, Czech, Polish, Russian and Turkish.
- Instant Web Publishing in Arabic, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Polish, Russian
and Turkish.
- The mirror layout feature allows users to switch from a left-to-right oriented
layout to right-to-left in one click (in the Middle Eastern and North African versions).
- Dictionary and spell checking for Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and Polish.
Breakthrough design features boost usability on iPad, iPhone and desktop
FileMaker Pro 12 lets anyone create stunning databases. Sixteeen beautiful new Starter
Solutions speed creation of databases for managing contacts, projects, digital content,
inventory and more essential business tasks. Starter solutions include ready-to-use
screens optimized for iPad and iPhone.
Users can instantly change the look of solutions with 40 new professionally designed
themes. Themes can be used with the Starter Solutions or applied to existing databases for
a fresh new look. Special touch themes are tailored for iPad and iPhone with fonts,
colors, buttons and other iOS design elements.
Users can rely entirely on the included themes, or can customize every detail with new
design tools such as gradients, image slicing, dynamic alignment guides, and configurable
grids. Custom screen stencils make it easy to arrange information for iPad and iPhone
screens.
FileMaker Pro 12 also features new Quick Charts to create eye-catching, on-the-fly
graphs, and five attractive new chart styles: bubble, scatter, positive/negative, stacked
bar and stacked column charts.
A better way to handle documents and multimedia files
The FileMaker 12 product line helps teams and individuals manage the growing avalanche
of digital content -- especially multimedia files.
Enhanced container fields in FileMaker Pro 12 support drag-and-drop to store, many
file types such as PDFs, video, photos, audio, and documents. Files can be stored in the
database or linked. Managing linked files just got easier as FileMaker 12 now
automatically organizes files on disk and can even encrypt them for extra security.
Access to large files is faster as FileMaker 12 will now automatically generate
thumbnails, and, when using FileMaker Server, will stream media files to connected
clients. When running on the iPad or iPhone users can now record video and audio directly
into container fields, and can stream out content using AirPlay.
FileMaker Server 12 products offer faster, more reliable data serving
The new 64-bit versions of FileMaker Server 12 and FileMaker Server 12 Advanced are
built for speed and productivity. Access to more memory can boost performance for larger
databases, while enhanced WAN performance assists remotely connected users, especially
those using iOS devices. A re-architected web publishing engine improves speed and
stability when integrating custom web pages with FileMaker databases, while progressive
backups ease server administration and improve solution reliability.
What beta users are saying about FileMaker Pro 12 and FileMaker Go 12 for iPad and
iPhone
"FileMaker Pro 12 is a great update," says Dean T. Bingham, president, db Digital
Design. "I have converted all of my previous information to FileMaker Pro 12 and
everything works flawlessly. I have used the slick new Starter Solutions to extend the
functionality of my databases - and the ease of building forms from scratch, with the
compatibility of desktop, iPad and iPhone formats, is a huge boon."
According to IT and facility manager James Pierson, Rampart Hydro Services, "The use
of FileMaker Go 12 enables us to get timely and consistent data from the field eliminating
the hodgepodge of spreadsheets, hard-copy forms, and the odd flap torn off an old
cardboard box. I love the idea of FileMaker Go specific script steps, making it easier to
take advantage of the growing capabilities of iOS."
"Thanks to FileMaker Pro 12 and its ease of extension to iOS devices, creating a
full-on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for small business will take a lot less
time and effort than I ever imagined," says George Page, president, Sea Breeze Farm.
