100 | Creating databases
You create additional layouts by switching to Layout mode and using the New
Layout/Report assistant, a wizard that guides you through creating the layout
according to options you choose. In addition to Standard Form, there are four
other types of layouts and one view (Table View). Use these different types for
various purposes, like displaying a data entry screen or printing a totaled sales
report or mailing labels. You can customize each layout by using the design
tools that are available in Layout mode.
Important FileMaker Pro considers the selected printer, and print or page setup
information when it calculates margins and other measurements on the layout.
Printer and print settings depend on the printer and system software you’re using.
Refer to your printer and system documentation for more information
.
Note You must create the fields to include on a layout before you begin the New
Layout/Report assistant. See
“Defining database fields” on page 80.
