76 Chapter 7 Using Fields
Creating Related Records List Fields
Use a related records list field to display records that are related to the current record
you are viewing. These related records are from another library or collection.
For example, if you created a Projects library to manage planning a holiday party and
wanted to display certain vendors on a form, you could create a related records list
field to display the vendor or vendors that you hired to supply party equipment.
These records come from the Vendors collection under the Address Book library. If
you add a new record in the related records list, the record is displayed there but is
stored in the Vendors collection.
You can create a related records list by dragging a library or collection to a form, as
illustrated above, or you can use menu commands, as outlined below.
You can see related records lists in form view but not in table view.
To create a related records list field:
1 Select the library or collection you want to add related records to.
2 Choose Insert > New Field.
3 Choose Related Records List.
4 Name the field.
1. Drag the Vendors
collection onto the
Projects form.
2. Bento creates a new related records
list field on the form.
3. Add the selected vendor to the related
records list.
