Table View
Table View is not a type of layout; it’s a view of your data in a spreadsheet-like
grid format where you can quickly rearrange fields in Browse mode. For
example, you can quickly reorder, resize, or sort columns (fields) with just a
mouse click (if those options are set). Table View is one of three views
available for any layout in FileMaker Pro. For more information, see
“Viewing
records” on page 29.
As with a Columnar List/Report layout, Table View contains the fields you
select, in the order you specify from left to right, with field names as column
headings.
Note Table View is similar to a simple Columnar List/Report layout, but there are
differences. Table View is a more flexible arrangement of the data because it can
be enabled or disabled in Browse mode. It’s useful when you want to let users make
simple changes to how data is displayed in Browse mode, or when you want to
provide a familiar, spreadsheet-like appearance to your data.
