Working with parts on a layout
FileMaker Pro layouts are divided into layout parts, sections of the layout that
determine how data in a field is treated and displayed. By using parts, you can
control how FileMaker
Pro prints data, for example:
1 once for each record
1 only at the top of each page
1 only before or after groups of sorted records (for example, to include a
subtotal for each group of records)
Each layout must have at least one part. Layout parts can contain fields, portals,
buttons, text, and other objects. In Layout mode, dotted horizontal lines mark
the division between layout parts, and the part label appears at the left end of
the bottom dividing line.
