Drag and drop design
Making your database look and work the way you want is quick and simple. The intuitive point-and-click interface helps you customise your database – and you don't have to know a thing about computer programming! Drag and drop fields and objects wherever you want. Add buttons, icons, your company logo, or your favourite colours and fonts.
Create clean looking database designs
Design clean layouts faster using Layout Alignment Tools for aligning fields and making a group of fields the same length and Layout Arrange Tools to group, lock, or change the stacking order of objects. Or use the Tab Control to efficiently organise your information in a familiar tabbed files arrangement.
Create your own views of the data
Customise different views of your data so you can see the information the way you want, and others in your workgroup can view it the way they want. FileMaker Pro will remember which view you want to see. The Layout Assistant makes it easy to add as many views as you need.
