88 Chapter 8 Using Fields
• If you delete a library or collection that a related data field is based on,
the related data field is also deleted.
• If a record that appears in a related data field is deleted in its data source,
the record is also deleted from any other related data field it appears in.
Using the Address Book, iCal, or iPhoto Library as a Data Source
You can create related data fields that display records from the Address Book library or
an Address Book collection. If you add Address Book records to the related data field
and make changes to the records, you are updating the data in the Address Book
application.
If you delete a contact record from the Address Book application, it is removed from
any related data field where it appeared in Bento.
You can create related data fields that display records from the Bento iCal Events and
iCal Tasks libraries. If you change an iCal Event or iCal Task record in a related data field,
you are updating the data in the iCal application.
If you delete an event or task record from the iCal application, it is removed from any
related data field where it appeared in Bento.
You can create related data fields that display records from the Bento iPhoto library or
an iPhoto collection.
If you delete a record from the iPhoto application, it is removed from any related data
field where it appeared in Bento.
Navigating to Related Records
You can view the details of a specific record stored in a related data field, and you can
quickly navigate among records stored in different related data fields.
To navigate among related records:
1 Click a record.
2 Click to go to the record in its library or collection and view the record’s
details.
You can edit the record you have navigated to.
3 As you navigate among records in different related data fields, you can
quickly return to the previously viewed related record by clicking
in the
navigation bar.
However, once you select an item in the Libraries pane, Bento stops keeping track
of the related records you viewed and
disappears.
