How to design a Reference Repository with FileMaker Pro

Date: 21/06/2015

Problem:

I have a list with thousands of ideas, questions, tips etc., with scenarios (aka examples), references (aka URL) and suggested solutions and the like.
How can I set up a database that will arrange the above in a structured way, so that I can look up the data by about a dozen different ways:
  1. Date Entered
  2. Date Solved
  3. Author
  4. Importance
  5. Progress
  6. Topic
  7. Description
  8. Example
  9. URL
  10. Main Criteria
  11. Sub Criteria
  12. ID
There is a Starter Solution from FileMaker "Research Notes", which might be the solution for the above requirement.
