The latest version of the application creation tool has enhancements for both non-experts and developers.

Can’t find business software that’s suitable for you? It is possible to create your own, as we explained in our case study on juice maker Summer Snow, which used FileMaker to create its own suite of custom applications.

Now there’s a new version of the database development platform, FileMaker Pro 17 Advanced, which comes with half a dozen starter apps designed to give users worthwhile functionality in a form that can be easily understood and extended by non-expert developers.

In particular, the starter apps make it easy to add more data tables without requiring an understanding of relational database schemas.

Furthermore, master-detail layouts simplify the creation of apps to display hierarchical data, such as the names and details of contacts at a business’s customers, or the options available for each of its services.
