Chapter 8 Using Fields 93
You show or hide columns in simple list fields using the Fields pane. See ”Showing and
Hiding Columns” on page 70.
Working with Related Data Fields
In a related data field, you can store information about records that is relevant to the
data source but isn’t linked to the data source. This information is stored in a separate
section of the related data field called notes.
For example, in a Recipes library that has a related data field linked to the Ingredients
library, you could store information such as the required amount of each ingredient in
a recipe in the notes section of the Ingredients related data field. In other fields in the
notes section, you could add details about how to prepare the ingredient or the name
of the store where you purchased it. The information in the note fields is not stored in
the Ingredients library.
