FileMaker on the Go
FileMaker Go® is a full-featured FileMaker® client for iOS. It runs the FileMaker .fp7 file format as either a client to
a FileMaker host (Pro or Server) or as local files stored on the device and has much of the same functionality as
FileMaker Pro.
The FileMaker Go user experience with FileMaker solutions is analogous to the iOS Safari web browser with
full-sized web content. iOS gestures, like pinch-zooming and swipe-scrolling, allow users to comfortably interact
with a FileMaker Pro solution that was designed for larger screens. With some caveats, which will be covered in
this technical brief, existing FileMaker Pro solutions just work the same as they do in FileMaker Pro. Without any
additional development work, your users can log in and access their existing solutions via their iPad and iPhone.
FileMaker Go gives FileMaker Pro users the opportunity to create personalized custom mobile solutions without
having to hire a programmer to develop applications using iPhone-native Objective C or mobile web apps using
toolssuchasJavaorPHP.
