Publishing databases on the web
With FileMaker Pro, you can use Instant Web Publishing to publish your
databases in a web browser, allowing users to find, browse, and modify data in
the database.
Using Instant Web Publishing with FileMaker Pro accounts and privilege sets,
you can make your web databases secure.
Note FileMaker Pro Instant Web Publishing supports the sharing of files with up
to 5 concurrent users. Use FileMaker
Server Advanced if you need to share files
with more than 5 concurrent web users.
To work with a published FileMaker Pro database, users need:
1 web browser software
1 access to the internet or an intranet. Access to the internet requires an
internet service provider (ISP); FileMaker does not provide an account for
you
1 a host computer with continuous access to the internet or intranet via TCP/
IP
1 the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that hosts your database
files
You can publish your databases as web pages within a local network or
intranet, or to users on the web. You don’t have to change your database or use
additional software.
Note Web viewers, which calculate a URL based on field data and display a web
page directly in a FileMaker
Pro layout, work in files shared via Instant Web
Publishing. However, there are some design issues you should consider before
including web viewers in published files. For more information, see the FileMaker
Instant Web Publishing Guide. Choose Help menu > Product Documentation >
