ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 35
Show All Records
Sort [Restore, No dialog]
Enter Find Mode
Purpose
Switches to Find mode, where you can search for sets of records.
Format
Enter Find Mode [Restore; Pause]
Options
• Pause temporarily stops the script to allow the user to enter a find request.
• Specify find requests allows you to create and edit requests for use with this script step.
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Description
When you select Specify find requests at the time the script step is defined, FileMaker Pro
displays the current find request(s), if any. Additional find requests can be defined, and existing find
requests can be duplicated, edited, or deleted.
To edit a find request, select it from the list in the Specify Find Requests dialog box and click Edit.
In the Edit Find Requests dialog box, select the action (Find Records or Omit Records) you want
the find request to perform. A single find request can either find records or omit records, but cannot
perform both actions at the same time. Use multiple find requests to find and omit records from
within a single script step.
For each field in your request, specify the criteria for which you want FileMaker Pro to search.
