We could also go ahead and import these, so we're going to go to the Tables section.
You only have one table, FileMaker created this table for you based on the name
you gave to your file, but you can create other tables over here, and you can
even import tables. So let's choose Import, locate the template, and if you see
this Import log, that is from the copy and paste. Every time you use a copy and
paste or an import, it creates a new log called Import Log and tells you what
happened. This is just a way you can go and check on if there's an error, what
might have happened. Now, if you were to have an Import Log at the same location
as your file, well then it'll just add to it, so we won't get another one here.
I usually just delete them, I don't look at them very often, they can be a little
bit annoying, so we'll eventually get rid of that. But, if you opened it up in a
text editor, you can see all the things that happened when you did all this
stuff, so it's a good way sometimes, to recreate what you copied and pasted. Who
knows, it could be useful. So we're going to choose Template, you'll see that
there's the table, there's only one in there, I'll check it. You could bring in
multiple tables, we'll click OK. We have this Import Summary, now you could open
that log that I just showed you from here, but really, there's no need because
there's zero errors. That's really the only important thing here. So we'll click
OK, and notice now we have this template with the four fields. If we go to the
Fields section, you'll see that the template is right in here. All those fields
imported. Now, what you could do here is rename this. Just change that and now
you could change and all the fields you need, like it might be an invoicing table.
So you could repeatedly import these tables, now again, this Import option is only
available in FileMaker Advanced, so if you don't see it, again, you're going to
have to do this manually. But thankfully, in this case, we actually don't need
this, it was just a demonstration, so let's hit Delete and get rid of that. Go
back to Fields, notice that that table is gone now, we can't choose the fields
for that table, and this is what we want to end up with. We want to have the
Time Stamp Create, Time Stamp Mod, Account Create and Account Mod all what we
can't modify on Auto Entry.
