- Is there a way to enter consignment items at home, on a different PC, and then import the data at the store?
There are two ways of doing this: 1) Purchase two copies of FileMaker Pro and network them in realtime with some hoops to jump through for creating a "static IP" address; or, 2) Copy the whole InBloom folder to a small USB drive, copy the files at home, use the program at home, then copy back to the USB drive and bring it back to work the next day. Unless, you're comfortable with networking and already have two copies of FileMaker Pro, option #2 is recommended.
All of the information is stored in the InBloom folder and given large size USB drives are inexpensive now, this is a fairly painless way of doing it. There's no easy syncing mechanism built into the software, so after editing at home, one simply has to overwrite the the files at the store the next morning.
