Options
• View as Form tells FileMaker Pro to display records page by page in the format determined
by the database designer.

browsed without clicking the left and right arrows in the book.
• View as Table tells FileMaker Pro to display the records on screen in a grid, so that many
fields and records may be viewed at one time in a format similar to a spreadsheet.
• Cycle switches from the current view to the next view.

This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
