86 Chapter 8 Using Fields
You can create a related data field 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 data fields in form view but not in table view.
You see the contents of media fields as thumbnails in related data fields when you
display the fields in a grid.
To create a related data field:
1 Select the library or collection you want to add a list of related records to.
2 Choose Insert > New Field.
3 Choose Related Data.
4 Name the field.
5 Choose the data source from the list.
The data source can be a library, collection, or Smart Collection. If you select a
library, you can add any record from the library to the related data field. If you
select a collection, you can only add records from that collection to the related
data field.
6 Click Create.
The new field is added to the Related Data section of the Fields pane.

Vendors collection
onto the Projects
form.

field on the form.
