The Home - Collections category includes databases to tell you who borrowed your OK Go CD and which computer has your vacation photos from your bike tour of Italy last summer.įileMaker is the people’s database, so it’s no surprise it comes prepared to tackle real problems. Librarians can manage a lending library, IT departments can make lists of their computer equipment, and anybody who needs to manage electronic assets, like graphics files or PDF documents, can do so right in FileMaker. You can send emails to groups of people (to get a big turnout at your fundraising event), store notes about the research you’re doing into how long sleepy students stay awake after lunch, or just keep track of student’s names, addresses, and how to get in touch with their parents if they play hooky.Įducation - Resources is for collectors and those who keep track of collections. The Education - Administration set helps you administer your school’s tasks. See Education - Activities if you’re organizing field trips or other events that require you to keep track of who’s coming or who made a nice donation to the school boosters’ fund. Managers and planners can start in the Business - Projects category, where they’ll find databases to help plan events, track problems, schedule people and other resources, and manage tasks and projects. If you need to keep track of real things-physical assets, customers, inventory, or just about anything else-use the Business - People & Assets category. With this category, you can keep track of computer files, create a searchable and printable product catalog, and more. The Business - General category is an assortment of useful templates from document management to to-do lists. Track employee expenses and work hours (billable or otherwise), and generate purchase orders.
The Business - Finance set has the bean counters in mind.
