Importing & Exporting Routines
Pushing and pulling data into FileMaker doesn't sound very exciting. In fact, it's one of those things you infrequently do (unless that's what your solution is all about). It can either be an experience in minor frustration or something as easy as clicking a button. Making the process an easy thing to accomplish is simply a matter of knowing the right steps.
Once you know what might impact your process, you can easily add importing and exporting to any solution quickly. In this video, I'll show you how to use a dedicated utility window and talk about why you might want to use it. I'll show you how to export subsets of data and create a flexible import/export path.
You'll also see some valuable tips about creating your own developer environment to watch the process versus what users see when using your database.
