Hey everybody and welcome back! Today we’ll be discussing how you can better use FileMaker with iOS.
One of the best aspects of FileMaker on either the iPad or iPhone is the rich texting editing option. FileMaker allows you to choose the size, color and font of the text used. Highlight the really important data with the italic, bold or underlining preferences.
You will also be able to add a script to control whether or not the keyboard appears in your solution. FileMaker lets you tap into and scroll through a field without the keyboard getting in the way.

FileMaker Go is available for iPhone and iPad. The purpose of the program is to allow users the opportunity to run FileMaker solutions on mobile platforms. The great thing about FileMaker Go is how it allows people to share important information while on the move, all of which have the same power and capability of a FileMaker desktop solution.
Here are a few things every user should know about FileMaker Go:
Database encryption: The data you are working with will be completely secure while on your device or hosted on a FileMaker Server 14. The use of FileMaker Pro Advanced will be required, however, to successfully and securely encrypt all of your sensitive information.
FileMaker feature support: There will be all of the familiar elements of FileMaker that you have used in the past, such as portals, Tab Control, and the Web Viewer. Most script steps, Script Triggers and calculations are also supported in this mobile app.
File transfer: You will be able to move files among your other iOS apps on the same device, or use AirDrop to transfer files to apps on other iOS devices. This is possible through the iOS Share Sheet, which makes sharing data a breeze.
Starter solutions: While using FileMaker Go, users can select professionally designed templates that are tailored specifically for the iPhone or iPad. This will allow people to manage contacts, assets, invoices and anything else that is needed.

Hey everybody and welcome back! Today we’ll be discussing ways you can design great looking layouts in FileMaker Pro.
One of the most important things you can do is keep the entire style simple and efficient. The layout should include only the fields and objects that are necessary, as anything else will make it more difficult for somebody to interact with the solution.
You will also want to design the solution for the appropriate sized screen it will be used on. The right resolution will make the layout easier for a user.

When it comes to automating your FileMaker solution, the upgraded version of Script Workspace does a lot of the work for you. You can create, edit, organize and view your scripts and calculations in one streamlined and easy-to-use workspace. This will help to speed up your development time.
Here are some tips that will help you use Script Workspace more efficiently in your FileMaker solution:
All-in-one view: Using tabs, this feature allows any user to work with multiple scripts at the same time. This will allow you to get your work done at a much faster rate, as you will not have to worry about closing out of one script in order to work on another project.
Favorites: You can add frequently used scripts to your favorites list in order to access them quickly. This is especially good if you tend to work with the same scripts multiple times, because you will not have to search around for what you need to access.
In-line editing: Script Workspace allows workers to edit scripts directly in the solution.
Script organization: Instead of having your materials spread all over the place, Script Workspace lets users keep existing scripts, folders and separators organized exactly how they would like.
Search field: By creating instantly filtered results, users can find scripts faster than they would otherwise. Be sure to set up this option so you can move through the Script Workspace as quickly as possible.
Shortcuts: Use abbreviated text to build scripts faster.

If you are using FileMaker, there are all kinds of ways you can improve your experience. Here are a few ways FileMaker allows you to stay connected to your important data:
Reconnect to the server: If you are working on a solution in FileMaker and lose your connection to an internet server, or it happens to go down, FileMaker Pro automatically reconnects to the FileMaker Server once it becomes available again. This will put you right back where you left off in your solution before being disconnected, so you can continue your work without having lost anything.
Security enhancements: The great thing about FileMaker 14 is how the security system has been updated extensively. When you are setting your initial passwords, the admin control will indicate how strong it is, whether it is weak or strong. You will also be able to set a hint that will allow you to remember what the password is in the future. FileMaker Pro will also encourage setting a four digit pin that can be used to reset the password entirely.
Standby server: For those experienced server administrators, there is a new standby server option in FileMaker Server 14 to ensure higher availability of crucial business data. If the primary server does happen to go down, you will be instructed to type in a set of commands via the Command Line Interface to switch over to the standby server. Data on the standby server is also included in any scheduled system backups.

Hey everybody and welcome back! Today we’ll be discussing how the latest software update for FileMaker Pro has improved user solution creation.
For Windows users, the software update will result in the program being more streamlined and intuitive. It has corrected issues that many people experienced in the past, including the number of field repetitions resetting to one after an auto-enter calculation was created, and database administrators being able to lock users out of a file by using basic security settings.
For those on OS X platforms, FileMaker will no longer have an error which causes the program to switch erratically to Browse mode and cause the program to close completely. As long as users download the update, they can look forward to a more rewarding experience.

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time we’ll be discussing how you can more effectively use FileMaker while at work.
One of the greatest features of FileMaker 14 is the “Reconnect to Server” option. You might not even be aware of its existence, as it is buried at the bottom of the What’s New page. This will allow you to walk away from your computer with the files still open without risk of losing the information you have entered.
The Script Workspace feature has also been cleaned up since the last version of FileMaker, so now writing and assembling scripts is a streamlined process. You can do more with the keyboard without having to reach for the mouse.

According to a recent report from Compass, a global software maker, Boston, Massachusetts is ranked second in the entire world in terms of the number of startups founded by women. The East Coast city trailed only Chicago, Illinois, topping a list that includes major cities from around the world.
The report, the 2015 Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking, found that 29 percent of all startups created in the city of Boston were founded by women, a full 9 percent above the international average. The city lost to Chicago by a single percentage point, showing how quickly the business hub in Boston is progressing.
Eveline Buchatsky, Director of Techstars Boston, a startup accelerator company, told Boston.com that she credits this success to the female talent pool that is coming from both Harvard and MIT. The schools are preparing students to make an impression on the business world, particularly tech, in Boston and beyond.
"These feed the rest of the chain with good raw material that includes a lot of women," Buchatsky told the website.
Boston is home to a number of prominent female tech and business investors, including those behind CommonAngels, Boston Seed and ZipCar. The top five cities with female-founded startups included others from the United States, such as San Francisco, at 24 percent, and Los Angeles at 22 percent. Next on the list was Montreal, which was just barely edged out by LA.
