And you may love a lot of the new features FileMaker 12 offers including the new layout themes. If you’re a small shop (couple of people) with a one-file solution you may be able to just jump in and bite the bullet. Take a moment to consider how mission-critical your solution is. I use portals that can be filtered in many ways instead, so you don’t have to work with large sets of data at any given time. I, for one, never use list view in the solutions I develop. This may not affect you if you don’t use list view, but it’s worth knowing. I heard complaints about issues with scrolling in list view. If you don’t have a developer, take a look at your dataset. It’s a new file format, you’ll need to upgrade the server, as well as the file(s). If You Are A Userįirst and foremost discuss the conversion process with your developer, if you have one. So, before jumping in, let’s look at a couple of things. More info can be found in the FileMaker KnowledgeBase. Review the information below to determine whether your files will directly convert to FileMaker Pro 12, or if they will need to be converted multiple times. All other versions of FileMaker Pro will require a multiple product conversion. Developers I talked to are wary about converting, so we have two different groups with one goal: data integrity, however, their patience levels are different.įileMaker Pro 12 can directly convert your existing FileMaker Pro 11, 10, 9, 8 and 7 databases. Once it’s done-and you start using the database- it’s hard to go back. I have users who just announced they converted their database. With every new release the question comes up: should I wait or should I convert? I think this question should be answered separately whether you’re a developer or a user. It comes with some demo files to play with to learn about the new features.Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe! FileMaker 12 for iOS is free, so if you haven’t grabbed a copy, go get it. A lot of articles have been written about the various features, so I’m not going to bore you with that. As you may know by now FileMaker 12 is out.
