FileMaker Go
If you’ve ever wished for a way to access, manage or modify your FileMaker data while on the move, FileMaker Go is the answer. Using WiFi or 3G connections, you can view, add, modify, delete, sort, or find information the way you normally would at your desk—without being chained to it. The hosted file will be instantly updated with the new data.
You can also take your database with you if you don’t need it to be hosted from the server. Among other methods, iTunes offers a convenient way to transfer your databases to your iPad/iPhone on the fly.
While a a number of databases will open and run just fine from FileMaker Go, in most cases you will need to have some adjustments made to layouts and scripts otherwise you will achieve unwanted results. Contact us to help you customize your database to run on FileMaker Go.
