The need for FileMaker in large enterprises
File maker was born in early 1990. File maker Inc. is a subsidiary company of Apple. Hence, its flagship product i.e., file maker pro was designed to serve Apple customer through different platforms like MAC operating system, iPhone, iPad users. But later on understanding its potential it diverges to other operating systems like windows which make it a truly global product. Now it can be integrated to any operating system by the file maker developers and making it a enterprise standard technology.

Differences between FileMaker and Bento
Before we draw the difference between FileMaker (FM) and Bento (BN), let us know what FileMaker Pro and Bento are.
FM can be defined as a cross platform relational database application that is designed to integrate a GUI based interface with a particular database engine. This provides the users a unique option of modifying databases by incorporating newer elements into screens, forms or layouts, thereby giving the database an altogether new look.
Bento, on the other hand, significantly differs from FM in the sense that it heavily depends upon the templates as well as integrations with the other applications. By default, the data sources of Bento include Address Book as well as Calendar applications from Apple that can be directly customized or modified to fit in the requirements or the needs of the clients.
Technically speaking, Bento does not work across multi platforms (as it is not cross platform). It is only compatible with Mac, which runs Leopard 10.5.7 or beyond. On the other hand, FM works on Mac OS as well as Windows.
BN is designed to integrate directly with the Address Book from Apple for contacts, iCal for the purpose of Calendars, Mails for the purpose of e-mails, iPhoto for the purpose of photos or images, and the likes. FileMaker, on the other hand is designed to link up with all these tools, though there is still room for development through plugins or Applescript. Nevertheless, FM comes with a string of options that help it to get compatible with MS Office and make an array of functions like creating emails, accessing the internet browsers, adding various functionalities with the plugins, creating various web and internet solutions with the help of PHP, accessing various other external SQL databases.
Bento also restricts the total number of shared users to those who are present on any local network and the number also should not exceed 5. On the other hand, FM is capable of handling an unlimited number of users with the FM server across a vast region.
From the users’ point of view, BN is not as customizable as FM. Again, FM Pro is more powerful than Bento in robustness. However, from the point of view of usability, it is the simplicity of Bento that makes it so popular, as it allows the users to create a truly professional looking database with ease. This comes to the aid of people having a lesser degree of understanding. Again, on the other hand, FM Pro, much due to its extremely powerful features along with its pro-user qualities and capabilities, comes up as the most user-friendly tool that is used in today’s world, that helps users develop, customize as well as expand various solutions quickly.
From the financial point of view, Bento is much cheaper than FM. While Bento will cost $49.00 for an individual and $99 for the family pack, FileMaker Pro comes in at $299 for a single user and the cost goes up as the number of users’ increases.
Both FM as well as BN comes up with functionality that provides users a unique option of running databases on iPads and iPhones. However, thanks to the pre-built templates, Bento is more accessible to the users with lesser amount of work,
Let us look into the difference between FM and Bento in a nutshell:
BN organizes contacts as well as customers, track group projects along with task lists. It plans various company events, meetings, prints labels for mailing, inventory tags, records various domestic inventories with images, videos, lists wines, movies, other collections, tracks uniforms for school going children, organizes lesion plans, curriculums, sporting activities etc.
FileMaker on the other hand manage customers, vendors as well as employees, helps in tracking projects, various deliverables, workflows, coordinate events, meetings, manages inventoiesy and assets, produces invoices, charts sales reports, distributes facilities, organizes compliance, manages students’ registrations, organizes, analyzes research data, and so on.

FileMaker Best Practices for Developing Accessible Solutions
Many enterprises, nowadays, use FileMaker to create custom solutions without putting any extra time and effort. The cross-platform relational database application further enables users to update or modify their databases simply by dragging new elements into the forms, screens and layouts. The current version of FileMaker also comes with capabilities to make the data accessible to users on a variety of conventional and mobile devices. However, the programmers must consider and implement several best practices to build robust and accessible solutions with FileMaker 13.
Best Practices for Developing Accessible FileMaker Solutions
Enhance the Code Readability
FileMaker currently does not provide a comprehensive code editor to developers. So they miss the convenient options to write clean and structured code. However, the programmers have option to external editors and snippet along with several keyword expansion tools. It is always important for the code writers to rite cohesive code that can be encapsulated and reused without any hassle. In addition to using strongly named grouping conventions, they are further required to handle all probable errors, while avoid using additional dependencies.
Make the Layout Mode More Accessible
The accessibility of a FileMaker solution also depends on its layout design. The programmers can connect field labels to the active field by using the Accessibility Inspector. As the field labels will be read by the screen readers, it is important to include navigation and buttons in the tab order. Further, each button must have short and simple text labels. The screen reader can read the text label of each button, so no title or label needs to be added to the button text. Instead of displaying the status bar, the layout buttons can be used to get enhanced control and accessibility.
Optimize the Images
While designing the layout, developers must avoid using images. Similarly, the decorative objects also need to be avoided if they provide no relevant information or function. The Accessibility Inspector allows them to describe images in the container fields. However, each text object must be spelled correctly to be read and understood by the screen reader. It is also a good idea to opt for pop-up menu style instead of the drop-down list style. Similarly, instead of using the drop-down calendars, the programmers can display calendar icons within the field. The existing tooltips also need to be copied and pasted into the Title field in the Accessibility Inspector.
Opt for List View Layout
While creating FileMaker solutions, programmers have option to choose from both List View and Table View layouts. But they can enhance the accessibility of the solution by using the List View layouts, while hiding the Table View layouts. Further, they need to use the field objects instead of merge text when working with the List View Layout.
Optimize the Application’s Search Capabilities
The accessibility of a FileMaker solution can be further increased by optimizing its search capabilities. Nowadays, users access database solutions from a variety of devices including computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets. So the solution must find the relevant data based on the search keywords entered by users, and display the search results quickly. It will become easier for the solution to find data when the fields are identified, and results are read out clearly. Thus, each field must be described in a clear and unambiguous way to enhance the FileMaker solution’s search capabilities.
Work on the Application’s Look and Feel
The look and feel of the FileMaker solution will also impact its accessibility level. So the layout must be optimized by applying high-contrast themes. Similarly, the users must have option to increase the zoom level of the document window. You must opt for interface designs that will appeal to all types of users. It is also important to avoid using videos, animations portals, and tab control to make the solution work faster. While using the FileMaker solution, designers can be prompted for the next action through custom dialogs. The dialogs can also be used to give error alerts.
Each updated version of FileMaker comes with enhanced capabilities and new features. Each developer needs to implement these best practices by keeping in mind the features provided by the most recent version of the cross-platform relational database application.
You can hire filemaker certified developers from top filemaker development companies in India who can help you for your requirements within allocated budgets and time schedules.

Filemaker – Expanding Reach With HTML5 Solution Builder
The FileMaker Platform comes up with a number of user-friendly ways that help the users in providing various solutions. The list of added advantages that it offers, starts with Excel Data. The users can drag as well as drop the data in the FileMaker solution. Users can also view the Getting Started tours that are available in the FileMaker Pro along with FileMaker Go. This will provide an extensive overview of the way the products operate. FM also comes up with various highly useful tools that include Resource Center as well as a range of inbuilt Starter solutions for quickly creating different customized solutions that can satisfy the specific business needs of the clients.
Users can drag and drop the excel Spreadsheets for importing data from the Excel into FileMaker Pro instantaneously from Quick Start Screen. They can even save the data back into a typical Excel Sheet and send it via email to others in hardly any time.
Besides, users can import various data types as well and they include Tab, CSV, or XML and merge them into a definite database. In fact, there are as many as 16 Starter Solutions which are ready-to-use and come up with FileMaker Pro by default, for giving the solution an utterly professional look.
Contracts, assets, CMS along with Invoices Starter Solutions provide a fresh as well as innovative look, especially in the version 13 of FM. Features also include scanning bar codes, propovers, as well as slide controls.
The previous version of FM – version 12 emphasized more on iOS clients. However, the new version 13 comes up with an advanced database solution builder that has expanded its reach with the help of FileMaker WebDirect. It is a database tool that helps the users in creating customized HTML 5, along with a wide variety of browser-based solutions.
The earlier versions helped the web service providers offer various web based solutions with the use of PHP tools, that were specifically designed to help dealing with various data, viewing and using them for a wide range of purpose. All said and done, these were not rich as well as bi-directional solutions. This has changed with the introduction of the FileMaker WebDirect.
Introduction of FM WebDirect now helps users to collate each and every customer requirement. Besides, it also ensures browser accessibility. The users, especially those who work on laptops, can drag any image into a particular field. This image can subsequently be pushed or forwarded to all the users.
This has minimized the need of knowledge about PHP or JavaScript. Also, it has minimized the need of knowledge about writing CSS style sheet. In fact, the entire stuff is based on browser technology with no plug-ins as well as add-ons. The entire thing will operate in the definite browser.
Initially, the version 13 of Filemaker is designed to support the desktop browsers, and this support later on will include mobility solutions of open FileMaker on non-Apple Tablets as well as phones. There are plans to extend the support to all varieties of devices that are used by the users.
The newly developed iOS version of FileMaker comes up with upgraded as well as increased support for more number of iOS behaviors. These behaviours include popovers, gesture navigation, as well as slide controls. It can also understand and measure rotation and can adjust the layout for various aspects automatically. The database record takes the help of a special type of keypad that is specifically designed for entry of telephone numbers.
Besides, users can also use iPad for scanning the bar codes and snap photos that they can later on include in the records. FileMaker also supports a huge variety of virtual keyboards, which is one of the most attractive features.
Let us now in short discuss the value added features:
Redesigned Layout and Report Assistant
It creates various layouts as well as reports that are specifically optimized for iPads as well as iPhones. It comes up with predefined dimensions of screen, views, along with themes that make it easier when it comes to designing different types of iOS devices.
