Description</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">This course offers a complete and structured learning experience in FileMaker 17, guiding learners through every stage of building and managing custom applications. It focuses on transforming ideas into efficient, data-driven solutions while ensuring a solid understanding of FileMaker’s interface, tools, and features. The course is designed to help learners develop the confidence and skills necessary to design functional databases, automate workflows, and deploy systems across multiple platforms including desktop, web, and mobile.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The course begins with the foundational concepts of FileMaker 17, such as database design, table creation, field configuration, and relationship mapping. Learners will gradually progress to layout design, scripting, and performance optimization, gaining practical experience through hands-on exercises. Every lesson is focused on real-world application, emphasizing how to translate theoretical knowledge into functional systems that address specific business needs.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Participants will explore the logic behind FileMaker’s relational database structure and understand how to connect data across multiple tables effectively. The course explains how to design professional and user-friendly layouts, create interactive buttons, and use scripts to automate repetitive tasks. The learning experience is reinforced with step-by-step demonstrations, allowing learners to understand how different components of FileMaker work together.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">As learners advance, they will gain deeper insight into the administrative side of FileMaker. This includes setting up FileMaker Server, deploying FileMaker Cloud, and implementing data security measures such as account management, encryption, and SSL certification. These lessons ensure that learners not only build functional applications but also understand how to manage them in a secure and scalable environment.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The course emphasizes performance optimization, teaching techniques that help databases run efficiently even with large amounts of data or multiple users accessing the system simultaneously. Through practical examples, learners will see how indexing, relational structure, and layout design choices impact speed and performance.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Another focus of the course is automation and customization. Learners will explore how to create scripts that perform automatic data entry, validation, and reporting tasks. They will also learn how to integrate external data sources and use email plugins through SMTP configuration. These skills are crucial for building modern business solutions that connect seamlessly with other systems and tools.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">By the end of this training, learners will have a thorough understanding of FileMaker 17’s capabilities, from database structure to deployment and maintenance. The course aims to build not only technical expertise but also problem-solving skills that help participants design smarter, faster, and more reliable FileMaker applications suitable for various industries.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span
