AWUGU Meeting Report about Apple databases:
by Tom Piper, Coordinator
This Apple World User Group University online gathering of Apple user group
leaders was held at 5:00pm CDST, on August 18, 2022, via Zoom. We had 35
participants for the topic of “Apple Database: Apps and Online”. The 78-minute
video can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/A5tlRhCLens (unlisted on YouTube).
This session opened with my welcome, plus a quick review of the meeting
protocols. Doug Smith, Chair of the Apple User Group Advisory Board (AUGAB)
provided backup support during the call.
The next segment was a very interesting presentation from Dan Wassink (Dan’s
Tutorials) describing how the online database Airtable worked and showed an
extensive example using a sample Apple user group. Many questions and comments
followed. Others noted the use of Filemaker Pro, Numbers and Excel to maintain
their membership lists.
Additional questions were asked, comments made, experiences shared and
suggestions offered by user group leaders with the following excellent links
providing further information:
