  1. Create your first Access 2013 database In the message bar, click Enable Editing, then press F5 or click Slide Show > From Beginning to start the course. If the videos in this course don’t play, you may need to download QuickTime or just switch to PowerPoint 2013. j

  2. Create your first Access 2013 database Closed captions From here, you click the template that captures the kind of data you need to store. If you're new to Access, and you don't know how to design or build a database, all you need to do is use a template. Or, if you already have Access running, click File, and then New. Give the database a name, choose a location if you want to, and click Create. For example, if you need to manage asset data, click the Asset Tracking template. When the template opens, click Enable Content, here. This allows the database to run all of its features, and you only have to do this once. Start Access, and it shows you the templates automatically. You can watch a couple videos, or click links for more help. From there, you just enter data, and press Tab, the arrow keys, or use your mouse to move to the next field. Moving to another field also saves your data. You never have to save it yourself. That's it. You don't need to know database design or change anything, but you may want to. For example, this list probably isn't what you need. The text is pretty generic. Some of the templates help you get started. So to change it, click a cell. Not the header, an actual cell, then right-click and click Edit List Items. Enter the text you want, click OK, and now your categories make sense. This type of database is called a desktop database, and it only runs on your computer. If you need a database that runs on the web, you create an Access App, and I'll show you how in the next video.

  3. Create your first Access 2013 database Closed captions Press Ctrl, click the labels, change their color, and align them to the right. Click the one you want, enter a name, select a server from the list here, When you need to let several people use a database at the same time, build an Access App. Access Apps are web databases, they run in the cloud on most browsers, and people can use your database, whenever they're connected to the internet or your corporate network. The easiest way to do that is to use a template, And you can tell it's an app template because of the globe icon. Just remember, these need to be SharePoint 2013 servers, or you need Office 365. or enter a server name here. Access downloads and opens the template, and to start working, click Launch App. That starts the database in your browser, and you can enter data. and you can select one when you start Access, or when you click File, New. The other thing to remember about Apps is you use them in your browser, but you create and change them in Access. To do that, click Customize in Access, click Open, and the file opens in Access. You can see the ribbon is smaller than usual. It's only giving you the tools you need to work on Apps. But remember that with an App, you have to click Save to save your data. I'll open this form for editing—this is called Layout view—and make a quick change. Click Save, and that publishes your changes to the server. Now click Home, and Launch App. There you go, two databases in minutes, and no need to change anything unless you want to. Finally, the course summary has links to more about using and customizing templates. Press F5 to start, Esc to stop 2/2 videos 1 • 2 • 3 4 5 2:04 2:29 Help Desktop Cloud app Feedback Summary
