Chapter 1 | Setting up databases for FileMaker Go 8
1 Routine backups are strongly recommended for any document stored on a computer or iOS
device. For information about backing up FileMaker Pro databases, see FileMaker
Pro Help.
Transferring a file with container fields that store data externally
To transfer a file with container fields that store data externally, you must first embed the container
field data. To do this, in FileMaker Pro, use the Save a Copy As command and choose self-
contained copy (single file). Then transfer the copy.
Importing to and from a transferred file
You can use the Import Records script step to merge data from a local FileMaker Pro file on a
device to another FileMaker Pro file. FileMaker Go must have network access to FileMaker Server
or FileMaker
Pro.
Set up field mapping and import order before you import. You can’t create a new table when you import.
You can:
1 import from a remote source into a local database
