FileMaker 14 Certified Developer — Question 1

Which statement is true about a container field set to Store container data externally in FileMaker 13?

Answer options

• A. Data will not be stored externally if the file is transferred to an iOS device and used via FileMaker Go 13.
• B. Externally stored container data will not be backed up by FileMaker Server 13 scheduled backup routines.
• C. When hosted on FileMaker Server, external container data must be stored in a subdirectory of the database folder.
• D. Externally stored container data will be embedded in the file when it is downloaded via the Server Admin Console.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a FileMaker file is transferred to an iOS device, the externally stored container data is not accessible. Option B is incorrect because while external container data is not included in backups, this statement does not describe the main behavior. Option C is wrong as external container data does not need to be in a specific subdirectory. Option D is also incorrect because externally stored data is not embedded in the file when accessed through the Server Admin Console.
