14 FileMaker Pro Tutorial
View your layouts as forms, lists, and tables
You can view your layouts in three different ways: as a form, as a list, and as a table.
1 Form View displays your current layout one record at a time.
1 List View shows your current layout as a list, with one record appearing beneath another.
1 Table View shows you many records at one time in a grid.
Generally, layouts can be toggled between Form View, List View, and Table View while the database is in
Browse mode.
Switch between Form View, List View, and Table View in the same layout to see how they are different.
1. In the sample file, switch to the Club List layout. You see many records, displayed as a list.
2. Click Form View in the layout bar.
You now see a single record, displayed in the same layout. Only the viewing option has changed.
3. Click Table View in the layout bar.
The View as Table feature allows you to view many records at once in a grid.
4. Click List View in the layout bar to return to List View.
