The record

App building: Its drag-and-drop design tools, templates, add-ons, reporting, and data import support help users create custom apps.
Automation: The Script Engine automates workflows, data processing, and app behavior without requiring a traditional programming language.
Deployment: FileMaker apps can run on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, and the web, with hosting through FileMaker Cloud or FileMaker Server.
Integrations: Integration options include Claris Connect, the FileMaker Data API, OData, cURL, ODBC/JDBC, and external SQL sources including MySQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.
