day one; task onemake database!
take a look a page 79 for instructions to create a database

let the computer count for you
the computer can assign numbers for you – this may not seem useful now but it will be
open the database managerfile -> manage -> database
use the ‘field’ tabselect options
and look at the ‘serial number’ section

first pass at validation
open the database managerfile -> manage -> database

Calculations – adding math to FileMaker
This could be used for keeping a running number of students assigned to a classroom
Set-upOpen FileMakerPro12MM_Ch04_missingCD in
the FileMakerPro12MM_missingCD folder and open Ch04_LeaseAgreement_START.fmp12
Take a stab at the example on page 122back to the database manager
file -> manage -> database

Overview of relational databases
What is this “relational” stuff? Why bother?
![Page 13: File maker for yap](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062306/587155bf1a28ab8e5b8b51b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
part 1: creating your own
relationSet-up
Open FileMakerPro12MM_Ch04_missingCD in the FileMakerPro12MM_missingCD folder
and open Ch04_LeaseAgreement_START.fmp12
and turn to page 129
we will create serial-number to database(if you are curious, the reading starts on page 127)

part 2: creating your own
relation
Still using Ch04_LeaseAgreement_START.fmp12turn to page 132
turn to page 134
create a new table
create a relationship

part 3: creating your own
relationShowing the data via portal
Still using Ch04_LeaseAgreement_START.fmp12turn to page 137
Hey Eric, what’s a portal?
![Page 16: File maker for yap](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062306/587155bf1a28ab8e5b8b51b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Enough for today?What did we do?
created tables and looked at interfacesadded fields and altered how they work (validation and serial number)
managed relationships and how to view them with portals
