About FileMaker documentation

This Installation and New Features Guide tells you how to install

FileMaker

Pro 11 or FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced on your Windows or

Mac computer and introduces new features in the software.

Note This guide uses “FileMaker Pro” to refer to both FileMaker Pro and

FileMaker

Pro Advanced, unless describing specific

FileMaker

Pro Advanced features.

The FileMaker Pro User’s Guide provides essential information to get you

working productively right away. If you’ve never used FileMaker

Pro, work

through the FileMaker

Pro Tutorial to try out the major features. For details

and comprehensive, step-by-step procedures, see

FileMaker Pro Help.

The FileMaker Pro Advanced Development Guide describes additional

features available in FileMaker

Pro Advanced, including features such as

customizing menus; copying and importing tables; Database

Design Reports;

and field, variable, and expression monitoring using the Data Viewer.

Note When a feature or procedure is specific to a particular platform, you see

instructions and illustrations that are also specific to that platform. For features

or procedures that are similar on both platforms, you may see illustrations for

either Windows or the Mac

OS.
