#Ninox database tutorial software#

It is an absolutely easy to use software for every kind of business, company, club or private use. I imagine others would like to see something similar for mapping locations using customer address fields or showing all customers throughout the country or something. A throw to a Google Maps screen or other interfaces would be quite neat and time-saving and useful for data analysis. Currently, I log UTM coordinates (Northing, Easting, Elevation) or Lat/Long, but I have to export those to see the distributions. Wishful thinking: I would love there to be a map interface (I use this for data from archaeological sites and location-specific data from interviews with indigenous elders and community members). If I am missing something, let me know.īuilding calculations can be cumbersome with the many clicks across tabs to access the part you need once I figure it out the pattern though I do switch to the text interface, and I'm glad that that's there.

If I have a student taking a late test (a regular occurrence), I have to then re-enter the answers and assign constant value again because it's not a global or constant field. As a college teacher, I import test results, and the first page is usually the answers, which I have to enter each result for the 25 questions and then 'Update Multiple Records', and then 'Assign Constant Value', but that is just a workaround fix, as the results are simply added to each record. I wish there were constant or global fields allowed.

I have nearly completed an FMP to Ninox switch for my databases the clincher for me was yet another FMP update requiring great cost, and my old version was no longer cleanly workable with the new OSX update (constant crashing and loss of data entry or import), and Ninox seemed as has been a more efficient use of my dollars for a database. The focus is on the data, as the bulk of interface work is complete.Īlso, FMP has a cost for the web interface and syncing across devices, and Ninox makes it all so easy-this is greatly appreciated. With Ninox, the standard database looks good, and the other forms also are all ready and easy to build, which I appreciate. As a longtime user of FileMaker Pro, I did tire of the too-simplistic interface of a new database (I avoided modifying templates-often more work) that required building up of numerous forms to get going (I still have a lot of raw looking FMP databases meaning ugly as I was not willing to put the time into making it look good. I simply like that the databases are essentially ready to use.
