Filemaker Pro 10 TU693LL/A Benutzerhandbuch

Welcome to the FileMaker

®

 Pro tutorial. This tutorial shows you how you can manage your information in 

FileMaker Pro. 

You will learn how to use FileMaker Pro software to:

locate and sort information

create and enter records in a simple database

create mailing labels

create calculations, buttons, and scripts

create and run reports

create relationships between FileMaker Pro database tables

learn how files can be shared with other users on your network or over the internet

protect information in your database by assigning user accounts and privilege sets and by backing up your 
databases

It takes approximately four hours to complete this tutorial, which can be done in one session or several 
shorter sessions.

These lessons are based on the membership database of a fictitious travel firm, The Corporate Travelers 
Club. Corporate travelers who are members of this club save their businesses money on travel costs, and the 
club’s expenses are offset by an annual membership fee. FileMaker Pro is used to track the members’ names, 
addresses, and membership status, as well as to generate labels and form letters to contact members.

You must complete these lessons sequentially, as concepts introduced in early lessons are assumed to be 
understood in later lessons. The sample file that you work in progresses through the lessons.

This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with your computer’s operating system. Opening files, locating 
folders, and other activities that require some knowledge of your computer’s OS are a necessary part of 
completing this tutorial.

Because using FileMaker Pro is the most effective way to learn the application, each lesson features a hands-
on activity designed to guide you through menus, screens, and concepts step by step.

The file included with this tutorial is intended to illustrate the features of FileMaker Pro, and as such, might 
be unsuitable for use as a template for further development.
