Chapter 9 Using Fields 83
To create a related data field by dragging records:
1 Open the library or collection that has the records you want to relate to
another library or collection. (For example, open the Projects library.)
2 Switch to table view.
3 Select the record(s) that you want to relate to another library or collection.
(For example, to relate Projects records to the Vendors collection, select those
records in the Projects library.)
4 Drag the selected records to the library or collection in the Libraries pane that
you want to relate the records to. (For example, drag the selected Projects
records to the Vendors collection in the Libraries pane.)
5 If a relationship already exists between the two libraries, skip to step 6. If
there is no relationship between the two libraries, Bento asks if you want to
create a related data field. Click “Choose Records.”
6 In the window of the library or collection that you dragged records to (in step
4), select the records that you want to relate to. (For example, select the
vendor(s) you want to relate to the selected projects.)
Then, select the Vendors record(s) that you
want to relate the Projects records to.
The new related data field,
with records, on a form in
the Vendors collection.
First, select and drag records from the Projects library that
you want to relate to one or more vendors.
