FileMaker Go Sync Strategies
Syncing between FileMaker Pro databases has never been more important than with the release of FileMaker Go. Maximizing user satisfaction with a mobile solution may require use of a local database independent of 3G network connections. Keeping remote databases synchronized with databases running on FileMaker Server can present interesting challenges to FileMaker developers. This session will explore techniques for data synchronization between hosted FileMaker Pro files and local files running in FileMaker Go. A real world sync deployment will be reviewed, including the decision making process that led to the final sync design.

FM Go Training Tool
Richard Carlton Consulting has released a FileMaker Go training tool, designed to help Developers learn the functional differences between FileMaker Pro (for the desktop), and FileMaker Go (for the iPhone and iPad). While FileMaker Go is fundamentally FileMaker, it does have certain limitations that are specific to iOS – the iPhone and iPad operating systems – as well as inherent limitations associated with Mobile devices. We developed the FileMaker Go training tool as a way of helping our internal staff of twenty FileMaker developers rapidly learn the ins and outs of FileMaker Go. However, it soon became obvious that the tool would be appreciated by the FileMaker community as a whole. Therefore, we are making this available immediately as a free download from the RCConsulting website. If you believe that we have omitted an important training tip from our tool, feel free to email the information to rick@rcconsulting.com. We anticipate numerous updates to the FM Go training tool, so be sure to check back frequently to download the updated versions!

FM Donations
After releasing several FileMaker templates, RC Consulting began to hear more and more from non-profit organizations. RCC soon saw a need to produce a simple database specifically tailored for people in the non-prophit arena, and FM Donations was built using a customized copy of FM Starting Point. FM Donations comes complete with modules for managing Contacts, Companies, and Donations. Detailed reporting is included to give users the ability to print administrative reports as well as reports for individual donors. This template servers as a great tool for FileMaker users in a non-prophit organization, but it also serves as a prime example for FileMaker power users and developers of how a template like FM Starting Point can be customized to fit a specific need.
