Navigating FileMaker Cloud
Viewing the system summary
When you sign in to FileMaker Cloud, you see the Dashboard, which provides a summary view of your system. The Dashboard also contains a set
of tabbed pages for you to navigate as you administer FileMaker Cloud and database connections: Databases, Backups, Configuration, and
Subscription.
The Dashboard shows information about:
your FileMaker Cloud AWS instance
available and in‑use connections to FileMaker Cloud
These can be FileMaker Pro (for User Connections), FileMaker Go, or FileMaker WebDirect client connections. The Additional Connections field
shows FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced computer licenses, which are not included in the User Connections count.
hosted (open) and total databases
active users (currently connected to FileMaker clients)
data volume status
CPU and memory usage, and network throughput; this data updates every 20 seconds
The upper right of the Dashboard shows the FileMaker Cloud server time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This time is offset from the local
time zone that you selected when you set up the instance.
Next to the UTC time, the Notifications drop‑down list list shows important events for you to respond to, such as warnings on data volume or
memory usage, or patch application.
Working with databases and clients
In FileMaker Cloud, click the Databases tab to view, sort, and search uploaded databases. Click the down arrow to the right of the databases list
to open, pause, resume, close, and remove databases.
