Improved reporting and analysis
1 FileMaker charts – Create quick charts in Table View, with the option to
summarize data and print charts without changing the database
schema. You can modify charts using a new Chart inspector. New chart
types include stacked column or bar, positive/negative column, scatter,
and bubble. (You can also create quick charts by right-clicking a field in
Form View or List View.)
1 Table View refinements – Column headers in Table View provide
more options for grouping, sorting, and summarizing, and make it
easier to customize the appearance of the table so your data and
calculations are clear.
Integration with other applications and data
sources
1 Mac OS: Enhanced support for Bento data import – Import Bento
Location fields as [Fieldname](Longitude) and [Fieldname](Latitude).
1 Support for FileMaker Go – FileMaker Pro includes new script steps,
functions, and extended privileges, as well as layout themes optimized
for touch screens on the iPad and iPhone, and includes changes to
custom menus that support the use of FileMaker Go.
1 Improved integration with external SQL sources (ESS) – If one or more
table names have changed in an ODBC data source, you can update
links between a FileMaker Pro file and the source. You can also
force-commit changes when optimistic locking otherwise prevents the
commit action.
