The new Quick Find search box looks through all fields in all records and is a handy addition to Version 11, allowing users to quickly find a key word or phrase without having to guess which field it's in. Once I got there, though, the new Inspector panel was a useful addition to zero-in on any editing need - look and feel or data structure. I would have preferred an obvious way to jump to layout editing even when in a table view. Specifically, when I was in a table view, the Modify button offered access to just a few change options I needed to be in a list or form view to see the Edit Layout button and Inspector access. Locating the Inspector panel can be a bit confusing if you're in a table layout, since it isn't readily available. Once you've set up your tables and imported your data, you can edit both the structure and appearance of your database. A new feature in Version 11 is the Inspector panel, which offers a single place to tweak layout, structure and field behavior. Once you've set up your tables and imported your data, you can edit both the structure and appearance of your database in several ways. This is helpful if you're unfamiliar with the interface it can be turned off if you are. The opening QuickStart screen is straightforward enough, letting you create a new database from scratch, from a template or by importing via another file. FileMaker Pro 11 adds several more features, such as charting, "recurring import" to automatically update a database from an Excel or text file, and a "Quick Find" search box. Version 10 had already improved on previous releases, including saved searches, triggers that launch scripts based on certain events, and a major revamp of the interface.
