Build a Real Contacts Database in Filemaker
Rather than teaching Filemaker in the abstract, this course has you build one complete, practical system: a contacts database for a small business. You'll store contact details, attach notes, and even plot addresses on a map.
The course also covers building a task system alongside the contacts — creating tasks, assigning them, and tracking what's been completed — so you finish with something closer to a lightweight CRM than a simple address book. The finished Filemaker file is included for download, so you can inspect exactly how each piece was built.
Who it's for
Small business owners and beginners who want an affordable alternative to expensive off-the-shelf software, and who are willing to build their own tools.
Key takeaways
- Structuring a contacts database from scratch
- Attaching notes and map locations to records
- Building a simple task-tracking system
- Using the provided file as a reference for your own projects
By the end, the goal is confidence to start your own Filemaker projects built around how your business actually works.
About this course
In this course you will learn how to make a complete Filemaker database system for your company.
In this case it will be a contact database. We will be storing contacts, creating notes and seeing their address on a map. We will be creating tasks to keep track of the things we need to do and see which tasks are already done.
This is a course for people who own a small business and can’t afford to buy expensive software packages to manage their administration. For people who don’t want to spend hours each week doing boring, monotonous paperwork that can be automated and be made fun and professional looking.
I included the Filemaker file in the course for download so you can easily look at my file if you get lost somewhere or if there is something you want to look at more closely in detail.
At the end of this course you will be able to start your own FIlemaker projects and build them exactly the way you want them so they work for your company and not the other way around.
