FileMaker Press Release
New Charting Database Download from FileMaker Brings Data to Life
Download for Mac and Windows allows FileMaker Pro 8.5 users to see database information graphically
The Web Viewer Charting Example Database takes advantage of the
new FileMaker Pro 8.5 Web Viewer with a number of ready-to-use
examples including 3D pie and bar charts, line charts, scatter
charts and Gantt charts. “The most important role of a database is not to
simply manage information but to help organizations run
smarter,” said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of
marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. “Turning data
into impactful charts helps businesses make better –and
faster—decisions.”
Charting Samples Range from Basic to Advanced
SAN FRANCISCO, CA., January 8, 2007 (Macworld Expo and
Conference)
– FileMaker today announced a new
download that demonstrates how FileMaker Pro 8.5 users can view
information from their databases as dynamic Flash-based HTML
charts. The FileMaker Web Viewer Charting Example Database gives
extra “visual punch” to better understanding
such business reports as product sales by geographical and
year-to-year comparisons.
The introductory example in the Web Viewer Charting
Example Database displays data from four database fields as a 3D
pie chart in the Web Viewer. The intermediate-level
charting sample displays up to 12 fields either as a 3D pie chart
or bar chart. A Copy button is conveniently included on the
introductory and intermediate chart layouts, allowing you to add
pie and bar charts to other FileMaker databases by simply updating
field names and field labels. More advanced users can deploy more
complex charting options..
Application Requirements
The Web Viewer Charting Example Database only runs with FileMaker
Pro 8.5 and FileMaker Pro 8.5 Advanced over both Windows and
Macintosh operating systems. The download also includes associated
HTML and SWF files necessary for displaying the Flash-based HTML
charts included in the Example Database. The Adobe Flash
Player, available for download from the Adobe website, is also
required to view Flash-based HTML charts.
